blogging/facebook/work/crap

since i am off for a little while, i am linking one thing to another. i have had the chance to hop my blog roll, some of you may check your stats and see that i am still around. i am glad to see that i have not lost all my faithfuls. thank you for still coming around. nice to have support.

i have a wonderful support system, my family and friends. i am trying to sort out what i want to do with the rest of my working career. guess i just need time to figure it all out. this time last year i was quite happy to be where i was, but now i am not so sure. working in a call centre is not for everyone. i have seen many people come and go. i have been with abcc group for nearly three years, and in that time i have seen many changes with policies and updates, more work for us on the front line, with very little praise, and high expectations. i ask for very little in my life, but a little respect and the odd comment of " good job" would be nice. 

the week i left was the bitter end. i have no problem dealing with authority, when it is directed properly. i mean, mixed signals all around.  power struggles are not very good for me. so i am on a 'stress leave' now. i have my doctor appointment on tuesday to see how long i should be off for. at least a couple of months to regroup (as in previous post).

so getting back to blogging. i have had a few days to check you all out. i have missed going by and reading about your lives. i did notice that i am not the only one who has 'disappeared' must be summer (or winter, shaz), and life is busy. i enjoy catching up.   i also linked my blog to my face crack (as mr.masters would call it).  blending my two favorite hobbies into one neat little package. now if only i could add my msn in there, be all set. 

tomorrow is my saturday. and saturday means heading out to mom's to do mom and me stuff. tomorrow will be getting to the hair appointment, and not sure what else. Seth was ill yesterday, must be the heat, that , and he is teething big time. little white teeth all over the place, mom said. he wasn't eating at all yesterday, and our temperatures soared up in the high 30s C with humidex. it was gross. it is supposed to be a bit better tomorrow,,,(or as i look at the clock, later this morning), but we shall see. 

many of you know my hate relationship with heat and humidex. i love the a/c and dont' go far or do much in heat. whatever needs to be done, will wait until it is cooler. 

we are planning a yard sale for next saturday. mom has some stuff to add, and i want to simplify things a bit....simplify and get rid of stuff, while making a little bit of spending money in the process. the last yard sale we held, before we moved into this home, was quite profitable, to the tune of over $300. not bad pay for a few hours work, and sitting on the lawn drinking coffee and chatting up potential buyers. :) we have some larger items to sell this go round, the truck cap off LT, which i advertised on the classified group on fbook, a metal shelving unit, electric lawn mower. i got dad's LAWN-BOY going, after it sitting for like 10 yrs, and that made me very happy.  wish us luck for good weather and loads of buyers, ok?

well, it is nearing 4am now. i need to be up in like 3.5 hours, so i ought to be trying to go back to sleep. i just wanted to update you all on what is (or isn't) going on. take care.........
