Work

A couple months ago I got a new boss after a year of basically no boss at all. Now going from zero management to micro management, I'm really having a hard time to adjust to it. Then this new boss likes to shoot from the hip and jumps before thinking, half ass finish stuff leaving me to do fix it and finish it. My projects are set aside. On top of this I'm in training to become a Six Sigma Green Belt, well my project for the certificate I basically had to abandon and a co-worker is finishing it for me. It's a complete mess. But, I applied for a couple other positions on site and had an interview last week, then they said I'd hear something this week if I got it or not. Still no word today. Tomorrow is my Friday (Thursday) so I'm praying I hear one way or the other tomorrow. I'm really hoping I get this job, it's more of what I do normally and I like the boss and the group it's with. So, keeping toes and fingers crossed. Back to the new boss, something really funny. He's always has this look like he has no clue what your saying. I've never seen anything like it before full time on someone. I mean you see "deer in the headlight" look, and "duh, don't know what your saying" look on people once and awhile, but this guy it's a full time look! I seriously think he's A.D.D. He jumps from one thing to the next in 2 seconds flat. Some times literally, he moves as fast as his brain goes. My lil legs can't keep up with the dude. My new co-worker brings a new meaning to "kissing ass". He turns into a different person and the things he does as a hobby depending on who he is speaking to. He's a tall man, getting fat, but has a small man syndrome big time. He knows everything, done everything, and tells way to much of his personal life. The 1st day we met he informed me of the court hearing between him and his X girlfriend which is the mother of his 1st child. We have a 45 minute drive to work and he didn't shut up the whole ride! I informed him later that day, van ride going and coming to work is for sleeping!! Now he rides the bus, I don't think he likes me very well. hee hee

Back

My daughter Heather has told me I need to blog more, so I'm going to make the effort more often. I noticed it's been over a year since I have blogged, here's to hopes of it not being that far in between any longer. Since last blog, Doyle and I are still together and living together. It's been a good ride, but not without a lot of bumps in the middle. After being single for a long time, it's hard to get into the grove of being part of a couple. I have come to realize men are way different then woman and its amazing how much a woman has to give in a relationship more so than the man. I may put up with a lot more than most, but I guess it's cause I'm still learning and tyring to figure things out. I don't want to do my typical thing and run when things get tough. For the most part we are very happy though. We laugh a lot. He has this damn thing of scaring me all the time. One day he's going to give me a heart attack. We like the same things, we go fishing all the time and his kids are wonderful! We are now in the process of moving his mom out of her house into Doyle's sisters house, cleaning her house out so it can be sold. My Doyle thinks everything has to be saved, so it's all coming to our house, either inside or in the garage. It's becoming frustrating to me because I still have a storage shed full of stuff and so does he, but whats in the house is now mainly hers. But, I'll let it continue for awhile and hope his sisters come claim a bunch of stuff. Later down the road, we'll see if I continue to "just see what happens". My grandson scared us a few weeks ago. His blood level was really low and he had to take him to Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City. Come to find out he is anemic bad and needed a blood transfusion. The lil bugger was drinking to much milk and not eating and getting the nutrition he needs. Now Daniale is working on getting him to eat and reducing the milk intake. He's still not liking the meats,(what 2 year old does?) but he's eating and taking iron supplements. Her step mom and her dad are not being much help there in Ely, so I think we've decided to bring the two of them home for a few days so maybe I can help whip the lil guy into shape. I'll have both my daughters and my grandson for a few days, that will be so wonderful!! This week my Heather has been here and it's been nice to come home from work and have her here. Doyle seems to have an attitude when my kids are around. I'm not sure why, but I think it's cause he feels it takes the attention away from him. Like I said, silly man. I think Heather and I will go to sushi for lunch today, but I need to clean house, do laundry and go grocery shopping, oh yea.. I have a nail appointment to. So could be a busy day. Work has had a tone of changes. My original boss is now working in the Dominican Republic. We've not really had a boss till this last month or so. We now have a supervisor that is way over the top. He's a micro manager seriously, I think he's male shovinist who doesn't believe in woman and I have a superintendent coming from Peru next week which I hear are woman haters as well. So this could really get interesting. I used to love what I do, but I'm really starting to hate it. Right now I have so many project that I feel like I've been set up to fail. Thankful some of my team believes in me and there for me and will help me succeed. I have, however, applied for other positions within the corporation. I can't leave Barrick cause of the scholarship program for Heather. Plus, honestly I like the mining industry as long as I don't have to dig dirt. ha ha ha I guess for the most part, that brings you up to date. I am going to continue to blog at least weekly from here on out. Crossing fingers...

Happiness

Since I've last wrote, I've met someone very special. It's been 23 days today and we feel as if it's been much longer. We have so much in common and so many people in common. We laugh all the time. Within the 1st 5 days we were on our 1st road trip to Reno to meet my daughter and grandson for my grandsons doctor appointment. The next weekend was Valentines weekend and we went to my friends in Carson City and spent Saturday with her and her husband at Lake Tahoe. This last weekend was the 1st weekend home together and went snow mobile riding and then Saturday night went out with another couple that are my friends. We laughed so hard that night our stomachs hurt. It's so hard to be apart any more, it's just amazing. I've been accused a lot of glowing! Oh my gosh, I'm not pregnant! Just happy!

Doyle (my sweetheart) me, Kolene and Steve

Shutting Down

Apparently I'm shutting down and closing myself from people lately. Not sure what this is about but I have the incredible urge to do so. I have been visiting with 2 men interested in me now for several months. I quit talking to both of them. But, both of them I don't see a future with. 1 is married and hasn't made a decision to do anything and the 2nd, well lets just say, he's a lil nuts. Then, the people at work. Alex is a great friend and we visit off and on. But some days, he is a lot of work. He looks at the cup 1/2 empty instead of full. That gets very tiring some days. It seems like there are a lot of those types of people in my life and it's very wearing. In fact I have decided that all men are a lot of work. I'm so very thankful for my sister for allowing me to live with her. I wish there was something more I could do for her to help her mood as well. But, I've come to realize there isn't anything at all. So, I need to back off and let her figure it out for herself. This is hard for me, I want to help. Anyway, this is why I've not posted much lately and I'm not very friendly or talkative.

Visions

Do you believe in a person able to have "Visions"? I had a certain person tell me he seen me "blissfully" happy in my near future with a someone that I already know. This person has had this happen unexpectedly in the past and its come out true. So do I believe him or not? Then who would it be? I can't imagine who I could be blissfully happy with in my near future?? Hmmmm....

Being sick

I have had pneumonia since New Years Eve. I am tired of having to stay home and do nothing. I am just now getting back from the clinic for another IV, just fluids. It appears I dehydrate quickly. In the mean time, something is going on with my stomach, I'm having trouble keeping foods down. I've been off and on antibiotics since about the 1st of November, and end result, pneumonia. Right now they don't see anything else wrong with me, so I guess I was distend to just be sick and my body told me to slow down for awhile. But, today I got the ok to go back to work on Monday if I stay home in the mean time and get some rest. So, that's the plan stay on my butt and get better. This could be worse I guess. I have a cousin that is basically on her death bed and still just trucks along trying to be tough for her family. So, enough of my complaining. I'm bucking up, resting like I'm supposed to and hopefully back to work like normal on Monday!

New Years Resolutions

It's the beginning of 2010 and I have made some New Years Resolutions. Beings I spent New Years Eve in the ER due to pneumonia, 1 is to get Healthier. Not just to loose weight, but to be healthy. I've had an on going ear issue for several years, so I'm going to get to the bottom of that Then, I keep catching everything that goes around here, thank goodness not the swine flu! Knocking on wood! I plan on paying more attention to the way I eat, I have good eating habits already, but going to get better. I plan on going back to exercising as soon as the doc releases me too. Take the vitamins that my niece has told me to take and just all around get healthier. 2nd, OK, some of you are going to be ashamed of me. But, never again allow a married man to sweep me off my feet. I can't take the fact that I could be responsible for the pain and suffering that 2 of my good friends are going through right now because of cheating husbands. It will never happen again. Now I am concerned that my 2010 is starting out in a bad way because I'm so sick, but I'm hoping it's just a bump and not a sign of how the rest of the year is going to be.
