SHIFTING PILES…A FORM OF PROCRASTINATION?
You can tell from my journal entries that paper chaos reigns supreme in my life; both at home and at work. Rather than dealing with scraps that need sorting and filing, I tuck them away where my eyes won’t see them - in drawers, on shelves, in furniture that has recessed spaces and cupboards. How...

OH WHERE, OH WHERE DID I PUT MY ----??
Blackcat’s post yesterday – This Is A Sure Sign That I’ve Lost My Mind inspired me to write this. It’s amazing how ‘family values’ get passed on whether we choose to send them on to our kids or not. Now I’m not talking about morals here. I’m speaking to character traits that somehow get passed on to...

IT WILL BE HARD, BUT I CAN LIVE WITHOUT ALL THIS EXCITEMENT!
C ab-drivers on this island have a weird way of doing business. They never come within the time they promise and then want you to travel with other passengers. Then they turn around and charge you the same fare, even if they take you out of your way to do their business. Yesterday, I wanted to go...

HONEST! I DON’T DO THIS ALL THE TIME
E ver have one of those days when you head to work with the best of intentions and do next to nothing all day? Well, today’s one of those days for me. ‘Course I could be feeling this way because I’ve been here since 6:00 a.m., but I’m sure I could have got some more work done if I was feeling really...

ON THE HOMEFRONT...
I got to the doctor’s office before 10:00 a.m. thinking I’d beat the crowd, but no such luck. It was after noon that I finally got to see him. My son got his booster shots and polio drops. He also got some ‘treatment’ that’s making him miserable. The doctor pulled back his foreskin and his screams,...

TACTLESS & INQUISITIVE...IS THIS YOU?
I t’s the hardest thing for me, when I am provoked, not to say the first thing that comes to my lips. Inquisitive people make it necessary for me to think hard before I speak. When they are tactless, I have to fight hard to not say just what I’m thinking. I try to mind my own business and I believe...

A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR THE WOMEN….
I ’ve been saying for a while that considering the advances made in beauty products these days, none of us women have any business looking less than our best. There is something for all of us, whether it is hair, make-up, weight loss enhancers (caution advised with these – gotta know the effects of...

READY! AIM! FIRE!
After the heavy post yesterday, here’s something a little lighter….. Yesterday at work, I was asked to provide some water for an igloo that needed refilling. We have some kids at a summer camp and they are a thirsty lot. I was standing in the kitchen and reached for a plastic bottle and absently...

BITES IN THE ASS....
Office politics are tough. It is even worse when the lines of responsibility are fuzzy and where there are devious people. The meeting last night was ugly. There is no other word to describe it. There is an opening for an Executive Director. The Vice President, who is currently unemployed, wants it....
