Walk in the park
When I go through these phases I fancy myself a photographer. We went for a good hike this weekend and I got some great photos of this flowering mushroom. I'll try to post them tonight. They are just so pretty. It was great being out in the woods, walking, climbing trees like kids. I need that more often. I got a whole (mostly) Saturday to myself. I had to work on some paperwork for a few hours Saturday night but it wasn't so bad since I'd actually gotten to go out and explore a bit during the day.

Worn out
I had a very long trying day today. I'm worn out. On the upside I got a follower to my "I See A Douche" blog. My ipod touch also crapped out on me again today. It keeps giving me a 1600 error. I have no idea what this means and I can't get it working! Blech.
It was beautiful outside today which made it difficult to stay indoors and work. I worked though till 8pm. It was a looong day. Today would have been a great day to go hiking or biking. Now it is dark out and it is late and I'm worn out - off to shower the day away.
Peace & Love,

I See A Douche!
I've been joking around with my husband for months that I'm going to start a "Douche" website and load it up with photos and things I see that are the obvious result of douchiness (made-up word score 1 point!).
I decided to go ahead and do that today. I started a second blog, check it out and email me any pics you see of utter douchiness.

Mondayitis
Well I'm back at work which is only confirming my deep dark feeling that this is just not right.....I love my co-workers they are a lot of fun but this is not how I want to spend my life....surrounded by stacks of paper and folders and highlighters and things that are "URGENT". Blech.
I once had a client stalk my voice mail. It was one of those awful days that has you running around and I was with other clients and had a huge presentation due and could not get to my voicemail. I checked my voicemail to find no less than 4 messages telling me it was urgent I return her call, each message getting more frantic. I thought the sky was falling in and I felt horribly that I had been so busy. I called her back only to have her say " I just wanted to tell you I was going out of town."....WTF! That seriously could have been left on one of the four voice-mails.
What is the worse "non-emergency" emergency a client has brought you?

Starting..........
Hello!
I haven't exactly decided what I plan to accomplish with this blog. I may not accomplish anything other than sharing my random thoughts with you but for some reason today I felt the need to get on here and do this. I've been away from work the last few days (finally decided to take a real weekend for myself) and the longer I'm away the more I realize I truly don't want to return. Now, honestly, I have a great job and a great boss but its stressful beyond belief. As Myrtle Beach is a relatively small local community I'll keep identifying information to myself. I'm grateful to be employed so I can't complain about having a job but I'm exhausted day in and day out and spend so much time and energy worrying about how things are going in other peoples (clients) lives that I'm not getting to spend the time and energy I want in my OWN life.
I periodically go through fits where I fancy myself an artist but really I have yet to find any one thing I'm truly skilled at. I've dabbled in photography, greeting cards, blanket making.... This weekend I've been dreaming of being a hippy selling blankets and brownies and floating around on a cloud.....anyone else feel they are slowly dying inside their office?
Well, for now, this is the end of my first Myrle Bitchin' blog...hopefully I will find some friends willing to join me in my random musings and that will help my dreadful weeks go by a bit better or possibly help me find something that allows me to focus on me and my family a bit more.
Peace & Love,
Stumbelina
