Booked

Yep booked for December. It will be nice to get back since it has been raining cats and dogs here since last week. The governer of Oregon came on TV today saying the whole weather thing has been blown out of proportion nationally, and, aside from really hard hit areas like Tillamook, he's right. It's raining in Oregon; how is that news? Oh right, we have to keep things like the war in Iraq as far away from the nation's attention as possible. At least they aren't blaming it on the Mexicans (illegal or not). Yet.

Speaking of Iraq, my sister Barbie called and told me that our ex-sister-in-law Nancy informed her that her son, our nephew, Matt, is back in the States and is flying home to North Dakota soon. Thank God! He has had some near-misses apparently but it appears he has come back largely unscathed. Well, physically, anyway. Just another opportunity to thank those people that have been over there as well as the ones that still are. We citizens back here at home may have our opinions on this war, but as far as the servicemen and women are concerned, they all deserve our undying gratitude and support. I'm happy he is back and okay.

Anyway, I go back to Cancun on the 5th of December, for a week. It is causing some unhappy vibes at work, and I am not used to being disliked. I work hard, though, I am supportive of my coworkers, I arrive early and leave late, am dedicated and good at my job. Oh yeah, and I am given the vacation time, too. I just don't like feeling the discord, because I have to be at work roughly 10 hours a day, I prefer it to be harmonious. Sometimes I am over-sensitive about this stuff, but I don't think I'm imagining it. It's really a bummer.

Not much else going on - just dealing with the rain (because it makes everything so cold) and working away. My rush of business last month is followed up with a big bunch of nuthin'. So I am doing clean up and catch up and closing a couple here and there. I surely hope it picks up, but not so much for the first week of December. That wouldn't be so good for me.
