AARRGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhh

That's all...just needed to vent....

Owwwwwwwwww....the "burn" doesn't always feel so good the next day. But at least I can thank God I am able to use those muscles I now feel...

Work has been terrible lately. Being "second" can suck. I have a coworker (and friend) who is in all probablity about to be fired...and I can't warn her as I was told in a management meeting. This woman is a single mom, just bought a house a year ago and barely makes ends meet. We are employed by a church organization and therefore do not pay into unemployment and when she is let go, she will get her final check and that's it. She has been planning a trip to see her son who will be home for one month for the birth of his daughter, and then redeploys, and now I doubt she'll be able to go. True, she has been warned in the past that the behavoir she displayed could be cause for dismissal should it arise again (which it did) but I can still feel bad for her. To be honest, I don't know what to do....well, i do...I have to stay quiet about it, or my neck is on the line...but Damn, I can support her after hours when she finds out right...and no, she DOESN"T know I know and would not likely find out I know as it was just the DM and my direct boss at the meeting....am I wrong to not say anything??? Where does friendship come in versus my family's security. Wish I could just say screw it and tell her, but unfortunately, I do need this job....( a story unto it's own)

When I figure out how to let someone know about this blog...maybe one of ya'll will have an answer for me....

Off to bed...sleep will bring peace....or at the very least, quiet!

Sometimes I wish all I did was teach.

In all actuality, I have nothing to blog about. My life is, in a nutshell, boring as hell. I am the proverbial home body. Days can tend to flow right into one another... but...am hoping all that is about to change.

I have begun working out at the gym. Big deal you say...well yes..it is thanks! Having sat around on my *ahem* laurals for the last few years (hey, this is my blog, I can be honest here...last 10 years) I have decided that I am not going to look any better continuing on my path UNLESS I do something. So, have joined a gym and am actually stepping foot into it. Mind you, the last time I belonged to a gym, hair was HUGE, we wore Leg warmers because we thought we were cool...and Magnum PI and Hill Street Blues made up my Must See TV. Strangely, my trainer has me in the weight room...should have seen the look on my face when he said we were going "in there". I literally stopped in my tracks and looked at him as if he had told me I could eat double chocolate peanut butter brownies and lose 10 pounds a day. But, I quietly followed (okay hid behind) him and the rest is history in the making. Between my water aerobics classes, my cardio and my weight training days, I am in the gym...get this...at least 4 days a week...and it isn't even for a grade...go figure. While I won't post my "stats" here...I will post my successes as they present themselves.

Hmmm for someone who had nothing to say, I've said alot for this first time out.....

Mary, if I cause people to nod off into their coffee in the morning, this IS all YOUR fault...and I thank you for it. At some point, I am hoping a wise person (someone who knows more about computers than just where the power switch is located)will help me place quizzes on here as well as links to other Jix blogs I read here. Until then, ignore my poor typing...sit back...and be thankful that you're life just COULDN'T be anymore boring than mine is!

Thanks Mary for the title of my blog....couldn't (wouldn't) have done it without you...
