Goin with the Flow

I haven't blogged in almost a month and I'm not really sure I missed anything, or was missed. Guess I've just been focusing on the day-to-day and finding other things to take care of instead of my blogger. But here's a low down on the off chance anyone actually reads this page anymore:

I've been both frustrated and overwhelmed at work since I've been training subordinates AND my new boss. The questions I started asking two months ago about things I knew would happen after our reorganization have only now started to come up, leaving me pissed off and unwilling to help find a solution since I've been nothing short of ignored in that same time frame. Heaven forbid anyone pay attention to the person with the foresight. I keep telling myself that this will pass and things will get better, but it's hard to care when things are always so negative around you. When I hear stories of team-buildinng and team-boosting activities from others, it just pisses me off even more. But then when I think about it, I probably have the most optimistic team at the Society and I have a lot of plans to make it even more so. Even if I get no recognition for it, at least I'll know that I'm making a difference for those that report to me. In some way, that is going to have to come back to me somwhere down the road.

I've watched the resilience of some yellowjackets whose home was destroyed and taken away yet they have the tenacity to rebuild in the same location. I often find that productivity increases when pissed off about something, but add being homeless to that mix and watch the nest come back.

I've spent some good times with good people and have had a lot of fun. I've tried to keep up with some kind of physical activity during the humid days. I've logged on to blog but couldn't find anything worthy of note, so I logged off and went on with my day - usually right to the kitchen to make dinner. I've gotten irritated when reading other websites and largely because the last time I checked, one could commute in two directions on I-96, but I kept quiet and forgot about it. I got a little sad that big news was transmitted via myspace instead of a phone call. Accepting as I am of technology and all the technological advances, maybe in this regard I still have an old-fashioned mindset. But maybe that's how people keep in touch nowadays and maybe the only reason I find that inappropriate is because my closest friends don't have myspace, forcing us to verbally communicate with each other instead of relying on the interweb and the other handful of my closest friends I see on a regular basis making big news easier to announce.

Time to get off of this thing and go back to enjoying the beautiful day.
See ya in another month or so, give or take a few days.
