Sometimes, I've picked up and moved a few times, Wisconsin, Kentucky, California, Indiana...

But generally I just look at my list (I'm a list keeper) and just look at the next thing...

Tonight, thank you cards, clean a fish tank filter, start some pizza crust dough... and it's the next day...

Anyone else ever go through this?
I'm have been like this a lot lately. I can generally keep my ducks in a row, but I'm at my wits end with work and people. I was just saying this afternoon that I wish I could just be dropped off on the surface of Mars or the moon to get away from everything.

I've been at this particular job for about 18 months, and I'm SO sick of doing the same d@mned thing over and over. It wouldn't be so bad IF other people knew what they were doing or could simply answer a question. I have asked for more detail, got some goofy answer, then sent an email that read, "Please fill in the blanks." Then management thinks that I can get my work done, but also use some of my time to run the errands.

With everything else going on, this BS is just NOT important to me. At this point, I chant to myself to hang in there, because I need the paycheck.

Enough of my tangent. That was uplifting, huh? LOL. At least you aren't alone feeling that way.

That does help. And yeah that's my problem, I've made my job my life and now I can't lessen my hours. It's not a happy place- staff shortage and mandating OT.

So I feel happy picturing myself walking out and saying: 'But I can quit if I want.' Then just driving and driving until I see sun.

on my forested mountain at about 2000', there is quite a bit of sunshine, even in the winter...

It surely would not be tough to live in the middle of nowhere. In fact, it would be more Somewhere to me than Nowhere.


On other note, it's a little scary when one starts thinking of what their CD cohorts would say. Take this morning, for example. The IT guy was on the phone, and he said, "How big is it? Is it tiny?" And I started chuckling, because I could imagine SD saying, "That's what she said." LOL

A dirty mind is a terrible thing to waste.

That's my goal by 50. I'm saving and scrimping to be able to afford a place within walking distance of a nice beach. Takes me several hours to get there now.
