How Just One Thing Can Ruin Your Day

Maybe this is just me, but all it really takes is for just one thing to go wrong in my workday and the rest of the day is a complete loss. I work in a small office and there was a dispute today between two employees. The cause of it was an email sent from one employee to the other (in the next cubicle and why would anyone do that?). The receiver interpreted the intent of the email in a negative way, did not like the wording and thought that the sender was trying to supervise her. I do not believe this was the intention, but it happened and the rest of my day was spent trying to keep the peace while conferring with my boss about the situation. Now it looks like HR will get involved and I am so tired of it all, I could scream.

This ground hog needs to retire to a nice burrow in Belize, but he cannot for a number of other reasons, one of them being the care and feeding of Papa Ground hog.

Human beings are bent. I do not exclude myself from the "bentness" of the race.  I do not want to seem self righteous. But really people; work these things out and be willing to admit when you might be wrong.

Why is the world in this condition?

The Church Lady knew.

It's Satan. He has been dogging me too and I'm sick of it.

This was probably incoherent. So be it. That's the way I feel right now.

Lord, please make Wednesday better. Please ask our common enemy to go play some place else tomorrow. Thanks. I know I need to man up and be able to deal with these situations, but that might not be so good either. Show me what you want me to do. I need some rest now. It's going to be tomorrow in just a few seconds 

Trouble in Flathead County

There are really awful places to live in this world (Iraq, Syria, Los Angeles) and you would think a place like Flathead County, Montana would be a paradise compared to them. However, if you read the Flathead County Beacon Police Blotter, you realize there is trouble everywhere...even in Paradise. All of this happened on February 10th. Glad I was not there. The last two entries are my favorites. There is more at the Beacon!
