Thank God it is Friday!

Jeremy Riggs · 2011 Super Bowl Champions!

Allo Allo. Top o' the mornin' to ya!

I just got home and need to get some sleep. Then when I wake up I gotta make a decision on this job position change.

I'm really having a tough time with it.

The easy thing to do would be nothing at all. I'm comfortable with the job, the coworker, the building I'm in. The hours have finally stopped driving me nuts (with the exception of how they seem to destroy the weekends).

But yet there's something deep inside telling me I should make the change.

I think it's because one of my New Years resolutions was to stop taking the easiest route. I think in my life I've too often looked for the easy way out, and it hasn't always worked out for the best in the long run.

Usually the hard choice seems to be the best one.

So anyway, as I sit here weighing the pro's and con's I find myself thinking "Just do it".

We'll see though. AFTER some sleep.

Have a great day ladies, gentlemen & JD!

Good day all.

I am so glad it's Friday. I've got lots of editing to do this weekend. And I've really been craving to stay up as late as my body lets me, sleep until I'm not tired, then follow my own schedule for the day. Who knows, maybe this book will make it big, then I can actually do that.

Morning. I am glad that most of us have made it to the end of the work week. It has been kind of long. I don't have a list of things to do today. I should make one. Or not.

Mornin'

I'm looking forward to sleeping in a little tomorrow. I don't know why, but I've been tired all week.

As I watch the news and see what the people in Haiti are going through, it makes me realize I don't have it bad at all. The mom and kids of the missionary family we help support there were going to come back to the US yesterday. They had a plane lined up and they stood by the runway for two hours but then found out that something changed with their flight and they don't know when they may get another chance to leave.

Good morning!

It's a foggy Friday morning in the Tulsa metro. Everyone was behaving well on the drive in to work this morning. We didn't see any rain yesterday, but I guess we're still up for a chance today -- feels and smells like an early spring morning -- I know it's just a tease...

JR, I think having weekends off in itself is worth the change. And like MZ pointed out... you can come back and play more often with us

I have a really hard time watching things like this. I always end up crying -- not wailing crying, but not able to hold back tears because it's so heartbreaking.

Good day, all. Just now getting around to checking in here, but have been at Camp Happy for a bit. Spontaneously occurring early meeting at the request of the boss.

Foggy as all get out in KC too. Right now its 27*, so we are either experiencing "freezing fog" or snow. Couldn't quite tell which. I was a bit busier trying to evade the nimrods driving 12 MPH up the interstate. Yes, visibility is reduced... but if you don't feel comfortable driving at reasonable interstate speeds (at least 55 to 60 MPH) then GET OFF THE FRIGGING ROAD!! You cause a traffic hazard when you are in the middle lane going 12!!!

Yes, MZ was right. It would be fun to come back and play with you all.

But the more I think about it the more I'm leaning toward saying no. I think the main reason I'm leaning against it now is that I'm starting to think it doesn't make sense to uproot everything for a lateral move. If it were a promotion, even a minor one, I could justify it easier.

But this would almost be like starting over. All new people. Not knowing anyone in the meetings again. Not knowing the building I'd be in.

Plus the uniform code would be stricter (no more shorts in summer), there would be kids around constantly getting in the way of my work.

With summer coming up I'd have to listen to the Brewer games instead of watching them. There'd be fewer cookouts. I'd see my family and friends less (right now I can visit them before work for a couple hours, but if I were on second shift they'd be at work when I was off and awake).

All that on top of the fact that any promotion I DO get would be back to third shift anyway, and I think I've made my decision.

But by staying on nights I forfeit my right to moan and groan about having to go into work on Sunday nights. Web won't get to here me whine anymore.

I thought you were going to sleep on it one last time. Must have been a quick sleep.

Besides that, would you want to move now and then move again when those new buildings are done and you do get a raise and promotion by moving over there?

Jeremy Riggs · 2011 Super Bowl Champions!

Yeah, I couldn't sleep with all this rolling around in my head Fuzzy. I tried though. The sleep just didn't take.

disco strangler · Smiles everyone, smiles!

Sure, JR. Now that you pointed things out, I can see how that would make more sense for you, especially with getting together with your family and doing the things you enjoy.

confuzzed · Permanent State of Confusion

Well, now that you have made your decision, you should be able to sleep well.

Night night my little friend.

If I didn't know better I'd say you were trying to get rid of me.

confuzzed · Permanent State of Confusion

No, no. I know how third shift workers are. It can be difficult to get a good sleep during the day. I have no issues if you stick around, after all it is your place.

I'm ok but just haven't been overly chatty. Lots of stuff going on. We are taking a new approach with our finances and now have financial advisors. I don't think that will ever not make me laugh. Please advise me what to do with my $3

Only one session so not sure my feeling on this yet. But we need to do something.

A family friend died from cancer. We got the call last night. We knew it was coming but it was all so fast. cry

This part is posted from my LJ because I am lazy like that ;)

15 min after we got that call, Teh Girl called in a crying fit for DH to pick her up from her Mother's house. I still don't really know what happened. I know that her mom and bf don't like her bf and keep trying to push an old boyfriend on her. They have gone so far as to try and bribe her to break up with him. I really dislike these people! Also- IDIOTS!! This will only keep them together longer. We've met the guy and he seems alright. That is not to say that he doesn't have some challenges but unless there is something we are not being told about, the pre-judging blows. Oh and Teh Girl was caught not being at where she said she was going to be. He brought her back to our place for the w/e but now I am wondering if it will be for Monday as well since it's a holiday and no school. He didn't make her talk yet because it was late and we all needed to get to sleep. I didn't get to sleep until after one. We dropped her off at school this morning and we will have to leave early due to her getting done with school before work is over. I have a ton of work to do but I'm really not in a mood to do it so it probably won't matter

So that is what is going on. I'm not woe is me. Just tired

disco strangler · Smiles everyone, smiles!

I feel your pain (concerning The Girl), Woo. Raising teenagers is about as easy as nailing jello to a tree...

Everytime I think I can breathe easy, I know it's really just a set-up.

Hang in there!

Woo Hoo · The Chosen Woo

I'm trying. At the moment I am more mad at the adults than the teenager, but I don't know the whole story yet. But seriously? I'll give you a new car if you break up with him. You can do both spring break in Florida and Prom if you break up with him? I don't agree with that no matter what!

disco strangler · Smiles everyone, smiles!

Yeah, in some instances, the parents are more clueless than the children.

I just recently went through a situation where the mother of Jake's girlfriend wanted him and one of his friends go beat up another kid because of something he did to her other daughter (sister to girlfriend). I told her (the mom) absolutely not!
I try to find peace in knowing that no matter what, as a parent, I am giving my children the tools they need to make good choices and own their poor choices when I can't choose for them.
