A year comes and a year goes.

It's almost been a year since my last post, not that anyone reads these silly things or even cares, but I enjoy this time of reflection. So here goes another.


I now work as a temp at the Texas Gas Transmissions Office in Owensboro. "What?" some of you say, "A different job??? What happened to the job with the kiddos?" Well, quite frankly, I was burnt out. Being burnt out alone would not stop me from such fullfilling work, however. I left the job after over a year of dedication mainly because I was being forced into a power struggle with my supervisor. Don't get me wrong, supervisors have all kinds of power over their employees, but some of them get off on having power and "flexing" their power over their subordinates. This is why I said "Good Day, Ma'am." and walked away. I do miss my kids, though.

Being as my current job is less involving as well as less financially sound, I also moonlight as a bartender at a local bar. I really enjoy the work, and I've learned a lot about tending a bar. In short, it's kinda cool - except for the old drunks that fall down and piss all over themselves in the bathroom. Yeah, that's not so fun.

As for love, man am I ever in it. Chuck and I have been going for 5 1/2 years now. That's a long time, isn't it? He's now studying for his MLA (see previous post) at HARVARD!!! I'm dating a genius!!!! How cool is that? He's been really stressed lately what with all the school work and the demands of normal life and all, and I'd be remiss not to say that that has a somewhat negative effect on our conversations, but everything seems to be going well.
