It has been a long week at work. And not a very fun one. It amazes me what people worry about in the work place. For instance we have a lady, which just happens to be across the hall from me, that worries about EVERYONE. She checks the clock when you come & go. She wants to know what you are doing, why you're doing it and are you sure you should be doing it. She thinks she's doing someone a favor, but no one cares. She gets to work at 4-5am everyday, works nights, weekends, etc. None of us work like her. But what she doesn't realize is that no one really cares she does this and she sure doesn't get any compensation for it. Then we have those that are jealous...jealous, I don't know why. I've been driving a pool truck back and forth to my new office, which I'm STILL working on getting all set up. I'm not even working permanently out in the field yet, but it's bothering someone that I'm driving it EVERYDAY. What's their part in all this? I don't know. But it hurts to know someone is so upset about what I'M doing and feels the need to point it out to certain people.
It's actually been a hard month at work. For the first time in 10 years I've seriously looked for a new job. That's a bad feeling for me. To be so unhappy you want to leave. There are two supervisor positions open right now and I'm trying to decide if I'm going to put in for them. No, I don't have all the knowledge it takes to do these jobs, but I CAN learn, I just need a willing teacher. I'm not sure, I have some mixed emotions about it all. I've also wished I was a man these past few weeks, because I think some of this wouldn't have happened. It's tough trying to make a career in what is for the most part a male dominated world. Or if I am successful, I'm paid less than a male, and respected less and viewed differently. I'm a head strong Female for the most part, but having to constantly fight my way through is getting old. But letting them win I don't think is really in my game plan. I'll keep striving to be the boss one day. I think I can do it, maybe I need a little more experience and practice. Work has consumed my life this week...I'm ready for my Vacation week after next, and ready for the 4th of July Holiday!!
We are going to be going to a few gatherings...wish we all lived closer (again!) Sunday we are going to Linda's friends house, it'll be good, there will be lots of Ronald Gene's old friends there and I think Ronny will enjoy that. They have a pool so the kids will LOVE that! Then Monday night we are all going to the Baseball game, and they will have fireworks! Then on the 4th we'll go to Don's. That one will be hard, this will be the first 4th since Sissy passed away and it won't be the same.
Daniel is gathering things for Band camp this week. Kailea PASSED Summer School!!! YEAH!!! She's ready to enjoy the summer. We are getting our entertainment center next week and then while we are off we'll re-do our bedroom and then our new bedroom furniture will be delivered that Saturday!!! It's going to be so nice. Then we have a contractor coming out to give us some estimates on remodeling our house a little bit. We are excited! We've made our decision that this will be home, and we need to fix it up and make it more enjoyable.
I hope ya have a restful 4th of July week...and Holiday!! Love you! ---Netha

I guess most jobs end up with some political fighting or conflicts that really take the wind out of our sails. I know my last job had its intolerable days mostly because of one individual who thought he could do my job and his job. He must have convinced the president of the company that he could because when I left they gave him the chance. Well it was not long until they discovered he could not, and he was gone also. He had the company computers in such a mess that just being able to get on the internet are have email was a major accomplishment. After working with computers from 1968 ~ 2003 I really did know what I was doing. Sometimes you have real frustrations doing your job, and when you add in the contributing conflicts and personalities, it becomes a mountain instead of a mole hill that you have to contend with.
