I wish it rained here....

We have really needed it! It was misty raining this morning when I took the girl out at the crack of dawn. (0900)

 

[Lilianna23]

It is my fervent dream to retire

You'll get there, sweetie!

 

[Lilianna23]

I am up and down all night...it is rough.... hard to fall asleep hard to stay asleep

I did that last night. I hate it when that happens!

 

[Lilianna23]

Tdk is funny....she lives her dad....get her a hard hat and vest and take her to work!!!!! Hahahahaha

 

[Lilianna23]

-5 this week...... wow sort of wasn't expecting that.... my first reward is coming....... dont know what it is gonna be yet

Wonderful! You're killing it!

 

[Lilianna23]

But, you're active. I've got nothing to do, except being a caregiver to Mrs Rj
...Lady K is Mrs Rj...

How is your leg, RJ? Can you take her to a park?

I was my husband's caregiver. I took him for walks, shopping, out to eat, on the boat. All things he liked to do.

 

[Lilianna23]

Mine too. I like my job but I really want to start doing things for me.

I know that sounds selfish, but I can’t wait! Talked to a nice couple yesterday who made the transition to retirement and they said it was actually hard at first. I believe it. I’d like to find out!

Start making bucket lists now. Noth8ng is too small to go on the list! When you get close, make a 6-month plan of things you want to do.

 

[Lilianna23]

Very difficult after 4 years I still catch myself thinking I should of kept working

Because you needed to? Or wanted to?

 

[Lilianna23]

Which little Madam are we referring to?

Greylag! I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you!

 

[Lilianna23]

Me too... I will do things..just won't be trapped in a job where I have to answer to other people and do things I don't want to do..... I am tired of all of them and it..... today I am tired of being asked my opinion when not one time is my opinion even considered when final decision made ...to that I say fuck off

That has to be so frustrating! Do they do what they want then turn it back on you like it was your idea?

"I checked with K..."

 

[Lilianna23]

I have a lot of work angst... I have fed guidelines to follow and the others just do whatever they want ... I layed down my line in the sand this am.....of things i will and will not be doing. The new person who is responsible in education in a job she has never done before is on my last nerve. my boss is clueless but she is gonna find out. I am at the I dont care point and I am inches from calling a previous manager to transfer and do a job that isn't so much. It is almost impossible to do my job.... and I am not gonna emotionally and mentally kill myself over it

 

[Lilianna23]

Have some work but I'll leave a tune.

I think you are taking it too personally if I may say so. I look at things this way:
You ask my opinion
You get me opinion based on my experience
You consider my opinion and discount it
That’s your prerogative it’s your pay grade not mine
After that I move on as it’s not my problem and if you come back bleating I will just say ….well did you follow my opinion….no….not my problem then

Excellent advice, G!

 

[Lilianna23]

Yeah... I had a strong talk with myself and I am taking your advice.... I need to just let it bloody go already..... emotion thinking is a waste of time

Besides, you have us to vent to!

 

[Lilianna23]

Home. Had the insubordinate subordinate today. He has an appointment with Wat's direct boos in the morning. Maybe he can decide who he works for after that chat. Or if he has a job at all. And a great deal of my shit didn't get done. Fuck it . . . .

80% of your time is spent on the 20% or less who are fucking up!

 

[Lilianna23]

Meh. Off to read. Cuidado, amigos.

Sleep well tonight, Wat! Rest peacefully and dream extravagantly! ️

Suzie and I just saw a Buster Keaton silent film, The Cameraman, one of the last silent films.

Was fabulously funny. A boatload of sight gags, physical humor, and great camerawork. Keaton was a comic genius.

They had a dude there who was playing the piano and it was great accompaniment for the film.

Just a great night!!

Last night of vacation. We’re headed to see the Mets play the hated Phillies tomorrow nite and then driving home right after the game.

That went by fast! Have fun at the ball field!

This is my latest video. Alex was sent across a river to collect a 20lb turkey that had been wounded so was very much still alive. Ignore the black dog it’s not mine!

Lots of encouragement and praise for this one.
