I haven't been much in the mood to write anything of interest lately. I think because I'm working so much and much of what rumbles through my mind is work related as a result. I decided a long time ago to discuss nothing relating to work in order to preserve my privacy and my well-being by continuing to be gainfully employed. I think most know that I'm a manager though, an Accounting Manager to be exact. I like Accounting and I like management, most days. In addition to my functional area of management, I'm also the Office Manager. So, I've got a double dose of parenthood happening. That's all I'm saying. Some days it's a mighty bitch and a thankless job. Other days, it's raining roses. I haven't seen the roses in a while, so it seems lately, some people can be backstabbing, ungrateful, lieing, thieving, psychos. The only thing that keeps me going are those employees who aren't (and, well, my paycheck). They show up with a smile and they expect to put in a hard day's work for a fat paycheck. They act like grown-ups and treat people with respect. They provide a ray of hope and sunshine in the cesspool of a labor market that exists in America today.

That's all I'm saying. It's vague, but I know what's written between the lines and that's all that matters. For now anyhow, maybe someday I'll write a book.
