Frustration

grumble.....

1. So sorry to my readers (all 2 of you) for the lack of blogging wonder. It has been a little busy and I just haven't felt very motivated. But here I am =)

2. I am confused....I don't understand this gas thing. Okay...yes...big hurricane comes in and forces the refineries to shut down...acceptable. But why is it that there are only a few select cities in this giant country that are suffering? Can't we borrow some gas from up north for a little while? And...why do the people down here only CARE ABOUT THEMSELVES! I did my time waiting for a gas pump today....and as I was pulling up to the spot, where the cop told me to go mind you, some dude in a rusted pick-up illegally went out of line in front of me as I was backing in...yes, he saw me. Fine...but then he hopped out of his junker and spent 5 minutes inside buying himself a nice cold Coke. He then proceeded to fill up his truck along with the FOUR gas cans that he had hidden in his bed. WTF!! What about the people that NEED gas to get to work. THINK PEOPLE! The shortage will be over soon and then you can horde gas in your underground bunker in case the aliens come. BLARG!!

3. I have hit a wall. I am tired of boxes and trying to find homes for stuff. I seem to wander in circles looking at the piles of stuff...but never actually putting it away. Sometimes I think, well when I have this up, then I can do that...or I can't put that away until I figure this out...and on and on it goes. This is coupled with the fact that I hit my productivity high around 500pm which means that on days I have to work....I am still at work and dead tired by the time I roll into my driveway at 845 (God-willing), and the days I have off...but work the next day, I have to ration my time and get to bed by 1000...or I don't make it to my driveway.

4. I wish people would take a little more pride in their work. I have whined about this in past blogs, but today I just was inundated with it. First instance with HR, as I am trying to get a research nursing position. I applied one month ago...and figured that I should probably give up hope given that I haven't heard anything...so I call the HR people to ask their opinion and she acted very annoyed at all my questions and didn't really answer any of them. THAT'S HER JOB! sigh.

Does anyone think I should give up at this point? She claims that "the hiring manager has not made any decisions yet." There are 2 positions open! 2! Come on! I was made for this job. Waahhhh!

5. I have 10 days left in the 20's. I am feeling a little like I am in limbo at an age where I should have it together. Where did the time go?

All things considered....life is good....I am just frustrated with the little obstacles. But I am guessing that there will always be little obstacles and since I have spent my life knocking them over or hopping over top of them, I will keep chuggin' along!

Happy fall everyone! Go Buckeyes!
