stuff and more stuff The house seems empty with the kids gone. The kids being Tommy and Brent, who left this morning along with 17 others from church for a 2 week mission trip to Guatemala. So, it's just me and Ed. Then Ed is going to be gone this weekend, so it will be me all alone. Anyway, it's kinda weird, cause I still keep going through my regular blog/journal reading routine even though I know that a bunch of them won't be able to post for a while. SOFTBALL UPDATE: Yesterday was the worst day ever. We got rolled, 11-3. To make things worst, the pitcher on the other team had the name "Crafty" on the back of his jersey. That's right, we lost to a guy who goes by "Crafty." I assume that he got the name crafty by all of the supposedly "crafty" pitches he throws, most of which wouldn't work in a league where the umpires actually called a consistent strike zone. Usually, I'm not that competitive, but something about "Crafty" really ticked me off. I took this loss personally. We play "Crafty" again in 2 weeks. I'm making this a personal vendetta against "Crafty." I vow that I will get at least 3 hits against "Crafty", and "Crafty" will NOT get on base against me. EMO UPDATE (But this one is NOT emo): One of those "emotional" issues that has been plagueing me over the past serveral months is finally coming to some sort of resolution. Well, not so much a "resolution", but I'm finally finding myself able to maybe move on. I realize that maybe is pretty vague, but I guess I can't promise anything yet. But, for the first time in a while, I feel free of the whole situation, which I think is a big step. WORK UPDATE: Work has been frustrating of late. Not so much of anything that has happened really. A couple of weeks ago, our supervisor moved on. I was mentioned as a possible replacement, but was not selected, which is totally fine. The new guy is doing a great job. However, there was a bit of a shift change for the supervisor postion, who now works from 10a-7p instead of 7a-4p. So 7a-10a is now the "unsupervised" part of the day, so I have sort of fallen into the "unofficial" supervisor role. So, I don't get paid like a supervisor, have no authority over anyone, but it kind of falls to me to make sure everything is done at that time. Which I don't really mind, except that the whole thing kind of puts a target on my back. So, I go in each day wondering if something is going to get messed up and it's going to fall on me. Like today, I was given a special project to coordinate with some guys who were going to replace some of the carpet. They were supposed to call me at 7:00. At 8:00, they still hadn't called, and I was certain that somehow this was going to fall on me somehow. But, at 8:15, they showed, and everything worked out. I guess I just need to chill. But, I'm kinda paranoid, because I was in a similar situation a few years back and it ended badly. So I, usually an optimist, am sitting and waiting on the worst to happen. So far, no major problems. Not on my watch! posted
