Fun evening

We out this evening to a local celebration, sort of a promotional street faire/sidewalk sale/meet and greet of local island merchants. They were selling tickets that could be traded for raffle chances or goodies, 20 tickets for $10. With my 20 tickets I got a BBQ combo plate (ribs, louisiana hot sausage, and penne and chicken pasta), 3 pieces of good sushi, a 16oz cup of good coffee, and some pumpkin pie. Along the way I entered numerous raffles and won two items. So, not a bad night. Met some of my fellow islanders, enjoyed the night under the stars, and now home wishing that I didn't have work tomorrow, but alas I have to drag my butt in there for one more day this week.

I'm glad you had a great night!

Sorry you don't like your job. Life is so much easier when you enjoy what you do for a living. I am lucky in that regard. I wish everyone was.

Thanks for the comment. As for the job, not so much that I don't like the job, just find the management philosophy sometimes makes it a chore. Also, when the budget gets tight people get territorial. That's the problem at work right now.

I know how that is. Every spring where I work it's every human for themselves when they start doing the budgets for the next school year. I have been cut before and had to change schools. Luckily I was hired back to the same school for this fall, but many of my co-workers were not. It's insane not having job security. Even heads of companies don't have job security these days.
