The Silent Shall Speak

I've been gone for a while and I apologize for it. I know that Dani and Ricky have both expressed concern that I have been MIA for way too long. I thank you both for thinking about me. I would kiss and hug ya both if I could, but I don't want to get my comp screen all icky. Yuck.

You know, life is a trying experience sometimes; everything will go well for you all at once, then plow into you with a yield ahead sign and stop your forward motion.

Of course, with every action, you get an equal and opposite reaction so...

I was depressed after the wreck for a bit, but that really didn't last. Work has been crazy busy lately, so I really didn't have time for the pity party that I wanted to go to. *poor me, sigh*

I've finally been working for Beto Jct Ta for a year now. It doesn't seem like a year, but on the other hand, it seems like forever. Odd and contradictory I know, but those are my perceptions.

Earlier this week, Bob, my supervisor, asked me a question that threw me off guard; "Would you take an Assistant Managers position if it was offered to you?" Well, duh. Yes. I mean, there would be a lot more work involved, but hopefully there would be more money involved too. Even if there was not more money involved, I think I would still take it. Just for the fact that it would look extremely well on my resume; "Assistant Shop Manager". Kinda gives me the 'willies', though.

Then, Monday morning, Mr. Bill, the shop manager, called Bob and I to his office upstairs. We went over just basic safety issues and things to mention at the bi-weekly shop meeting. We also went over personnel issues, which normally, I am not privy too. At the beginning of the meeting, Mr. Bill said to me "I only see you going up from where you are now."

In reality, I am not sure whether or not to get excited about this. There had been talk about having me be a shift supervisor, like Bob. But, that never panned out, much to my dismay. So, I wonder if this will turn out like 'that'. All hype and no action? Who knows?

Oddly, even though this promotion would be bigger than the other one offered, I feel more confident about this one actually happening. I doubted the other one, and obviously for good reason as it didn't pan out.

So, I wonder if this is the good that comes after the bad? Or is this just a prelude to a chain reaction of more 'bad'. That would blow. *heh*

In other news; my house is a mess and I have about two weeks worth of laundry to do. At the moment I am kinda hungry. In the entertainment area, John finally convinced me to get satellite TV. Ahhhhh, the Sci Fi channel. How I've missed you! Let me count the ways.... *heh* It's wonderful to finally get rid of that damn useless antenna. In any case, it almost feels like we are finally entering the lower part of middle class now. Which is just plain weird. In home business news, I have to admit that I have sorely neglected it, but despite my inattention, it has continued to grow. I estimate that I have spent maybe 10 hours working on it this month, but I still got an upgrade. Which is great.

So, where do we go from here?

Hopefully, I will get myself organized now. I have six days off this week. Yes, I took some vacation. I figured I would need to do it now, before the busy winter season sets in. Plus I wanted the time to organize the house, my business, and just to take some personal time to think, write, and hopefully catch up with friends. Which I have sorely missed.

So hugs to you all and I'll fore go giving any of you any wet sloppy kisses.

Aren't you all so blessed?

Till the morrow,
Meagan
