My old friend over at (a)musings is doing something called the 30 Day Song Challenge. Looks like it might be fun so I think I will try it!
I think my favorite song right now is A Long December by Counting Crows. I think that it makes me think about things getting better eventually. In the past it would have been a Jackson Browne song. I love Jackson Browne.
So the diet is not going so well. Work has been incredibly stressful. I was ambushed in a meeting. The Chief of Police wanted a meeting to discuss budgets with me for his tech needs, he invited 10 of his officers, I felt as if I was handcuffed to a chair in an interrogation for 2 hours. They tried to pit me against the staff I have that works at the PD, they questioned me on things unrelated to the meeting, they dropped f bombs left and right. It was hell.
I wanted to file a harassment complaint, but I am sure some type of retaliation would happen. I don’t need it. I just need to keep my job.
Its the weekend now for me, so I am going to relax and enjoy it.
you know my story with Long December, right? had you been reading my blog then, or read the archives?
click on the years on the side — 2001, december, last entry of the year abouts.
as for your job, that sounds incredibly uncool but par for the public service course. i know that these kinds of “ambushes” happen a lot. weather it, ride it through, don’t lose your cool. good luck.
I remember now that I read it once again…..
Hang in there, dear. Enjoy your weekend, and on Monday when you go back to work just hold your tongue and wait. I see that’s what Jerry does in every tight situation and it always seems to work. I always start talking fast and get in trouble.
That meeting doesn’t sound like any fun. I’ve seen the 30 Day Song Challenge floating around — my favorite song is “Shimmer” by Fuel and has been pretty much forever, for reasons I won’t get into but that will probably be obvious if you read the lyrics. Dennis said to say “hello nice reader” and to promise that he will be back someday. 🙂
wondering where you are and how you’re doing …
