Yeah... I'm still alive.

Not sure why I haven't posted, but I honestly had the best intentions. Of course, we all know what they say about good intentions!

I'm currently staying at the folks' house doing the whole house/dog sitting thing. They, along with my sister Katie are in New Zealand visiting my sister Aimee. Mom sent me an email telling me how beautiful the beach is and that the shells are covering the beaches. It sounds like they are having a wonderful time. Since it's been WAY below zero here, I'm thinking that NZ (earthquakes and all) might be the place to be!

Work is hectic. It's always busy... There is just so much to do and it seems like we are always being asked to do more with less. We have a new regional manager and he is different from the ones I've had in the past. He's a bit of a micromanager and its frustrating. Also, the new thing seems to be taking authority away from the local groups and giving it back to upper management. My boss now has nothing to say about raises for me or employees. Who else knows how we work? It just doesn't make sense.

Ok. No more whining. I should be grateful to have a job.

The kids are still in UT at school. I'm wondering if this is their plan for life. Stay in school, never graduating, letting Mom & Dad fork over the $$$$$. What do you think? Professional students? Let's hope not.

Alrighty then! I have no great words of wisdom this post. I'll see what I can come up with for next time. Have a great day!
