The Giving Tree … AKA WWU
‘Round and ‘round we go … [Warning – philosophical, WORDY post!] I hate it when I get mad at work. Aarrrggh, WHY?!? Anger is (almost) always a wasted emotion. But, when a mid-level practitioner [one I feel I’ve helped raise and mold over the years] decided to stand on his soap-box and lecture ME about being …
Not fair! [Whine!!!]
While I never deluded myself into thinking that I had the ‘skillz’ of Bo or Luke Duke – I did think for half a second maybe I could outrun the law … Um, let me ‘splain. 1) Last night was busy – Don’t-Stop-Moving-‘til-3AM busy. 2) I don’t know why, but our facility recently instituted a …
Of Course …
Of course it’s starting now(!) … My Neapolitan Mastiff mom has started stage one of labor – on Saturday, when I have to go to work. And – WE were going to see the new Batman movie … but now, ‘Fatty’ and I are pacing, heavy breathing, repositioning and pacing some more while the rest …
It’s the little things …
My new baby kiln arrived – and I love her! Fired her up last night and drove home the point that I have a new kiln to learn (each kiln has their own heating personalities, preferences, etc.) … DOH! If I’d been thinking, I wouldn’t have loaded so many pieces, among a few other key …
Sometimes I don’t like people very much … AKA WWU
Wow … I’m sooo glad this weekend is over! Way too many recreational (=CODE for drug and alcohol related) injuries for my liking. There is a subtle (ummm, NOT!) difference in working at my ‘lil Country-Club ER … folks (including the drunk and/or high ones) expect superb customer service – even while they’re dropping ‘F-bombs’ …
Better …
I’m starting to have slightly more reliable results with my new glass techniques, but still struggling with consistency (- although, I AM getting better at working in the dark with light-sensitive materials and glass. I only cut myself 3 times tonight!) … We’ll get there, but here’s what I have for now: On an upbeat …
I’m on VACATION!!!
A working vacation, but still … As I sat yesterday morning, nursing my after-work ‘night-cap’, DH [lovingly] said, “You look tired.” And it’s true, I was – physically tired. But mentally, I’ve been creating list upon lists of things I want to get done, should get done and NEED to get done over these next 2 weeks. …
The calm before the storm …
So, the kids are officially on summer vacation. They’ve ALREADY started talk about things we should do, buy and partake in to ensure they’re properly entertained this Summer … Oy Vay! This started right after I asked them to remove the 80 pounds of back-packs and school papers from my counters, couches and stairs. At …
Slight detour …
Spent the afternoon putting together a ‘lil scrapbook … all dye-sub style. We have yet another Doc leaving us, and I needed to let her know she’ll be missed greatly! Yesterday I was cruising along pretty well with putting together my mosaic load … a couple of rose plates: And an iridescent patriotic night light …
