WHAT?????

Oh my god................ why am I up. It is way too early for me on a Saturday morning. Pocket Full of Sunshine is up, no surprise, but I'm up as well. Watching the weather right now because I was holding out for the Sun today with Pride going on in Atlanta, but it looks like it's just not going to happen. I guess we might be considering plan B. Hummmm...........

I might just have to bunker down and watch some football. I could grill something on the pool house grill or make some chili, drink some beer, and not dip........ Maybe the Lake!!!

Yesterday was a hard day. I struggled a bit. Work is stressing me out! I have project after project stacking up and it seems difficult to move forward on any of them because of the inability of others to put their unproductive egos to the side. I'm also finding it difficult to be heard at work. Me and my "work Spouse" (It's an inside joke) work hard to make all of this moody technology come together and benefit our Public Safety Network but we are constantly ignored. We are in positions that are dominated by men and they just don't want to listen. We have to constantly prove ourselves. It takes a lot longer to get a problem solved when we have to wait for them to figure it out while we have been trying to tell them the point of failure, and then show them the point of failure but still have a system that is not functioning as it should. I really would just like to bake cakes.......

Have a little shop on the square that has an outside area with a couple of small tables for people to sit at on pretty days. We would have a simple lunch menu, Some salad options, a few soups, a full service coffee bar, maybe do some toasted sandwiches, and treats for desert of course. Sweetest Day Cakes is what I would name it. It would be so much fun. I should have listened to that saying "Do what you love and you will never work a day in your life." Of course, I could spout off a lot of sayings I have heard throughout my life that I could have listened too. My father is full of them. We can recite them in unison at the dinner table. It is always a good laugh!

Alright I got off subject a little bit. It's probably due to the fact that I'm awake right now. I'm a little fuzzy..........

Anyway, yesterday was a stressful day. We spent the day riding around the county establishing for the 2nd, 3rd time (i have lost count) that we have a serious point of failure that is not ours. It worked for a little while and it was beautiful, but it did not last for long. Monday we start the battle again. The finger pointing will begin and as always it will be pointed at us, although we have proven the opposite. These engineers seem to think that I know how to make their system work. No, No, No, see that is why we paid you lots of money to put the system in place.

It's the nature of the beast.......

Ok, I'm finished bitchin and moving on with my day. Yesterday is in the books, I didn't do very well. Dipped more than I have all week, but today is a new day. No work today. Now I need to figure out what to do today........

I pick this to start the day with:

The Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
