Roscoe the Pug With Ice Bag On His Head- Miserable in the Seattle Heat, originally uploaded by zoomar.

This picture reminded me of the pug that my grandmother had when I was a child, I loved that dog and I think that Pugs make the best pets.

Pet peeve

September 29, 2006

I have some news for anyone who reads this. I have pet-peeves.

I know, it’s difficult for me to swallow also, but it’s true. I’m just like you “normal” people. I have things that just have to be a certain way.

One of these is, at least at work, things have to be organized. Now I’m not saying that it has to be absolutly perfect, but I would like a little organization when I sit at my desk.

At my job, we share cubicles with our co-workers. which is good and bad, but I try to be an optimist about most things, so unlike most everyone else at my job, I don’t complain about it.

But this presents a problem because the person who uses my desk prior to my timely arrival everyday, does not believe in organization.

Picture this: I was cleaning my desk during some free time today and I happened upon what I can only describe as 3 WEEKS WORTH of Subway sandwhich wrappers. I almost had a heart attack. I even though about checking to see if my life insurance was paid up.

It’s just plain aweful…I hope that bugs and creepy crawlies don’t find their way to left over food deposits that were strode throughout his side of the desk..

I almost feel like fainting now…

Working toward faith

September 25, 2006

I really think that I’m making some progress at work.  They flew me south today to fix a problem with another office and I actually felt like I had some responsibility.  I am really enjoying the new position and I believe that people I’ve worked with for years now (that I’ve never supervised before) are starting to get used to me being a supervisor.

I hope I don’t mess things up and I hope that people really see that I’m here to help them and not hender them.

I spent the last several months with my stomache in knots thinking that co-workers thought that I was trying to over-use my “power” as a supervisor, but I’ve tried so hard to just be me and continue the job as if nothing has changed so that we don’t have an interuption in the work schedule.  I guess it’s working so far, and we have so much left to do until we achieve the goals we set out for the first part of this year.  I’m confident that the team I work with will meet and beat that goal.
