Coworker is driving me nuts!

Yeeees! Well done that woman. Felt good didn’t it? Hee hee!

What keeps me sane in dealing with people who bug me is knowing that “time heals all wounds” and remembering that the converse is also true: “time wounds all heels.”

Even better is when divine justice hits, because then I can smile sadistically while enjoying their come-uppance, safe in the knowledge that it’s their own “bad karma” that caused it!

Works for me!

The best example in my life was the boss Hubby had in the military. He was a Master Sgt. anxious to become a Senior Master Sgt. (or SMS).

Every 6 mos., when the list came out and his name wasn’t on it, he was insufferable and took it out on the whole shop. Finally he came within 2 years of retirement and decided to give up his dream and head off from Hawaii to Davis Monthan AFB in Arizona (“the place they send old personnel and aircraft off to die” was the unofficial motto, alluding to “the boneyard”–the outdoor storage area there for retired/obsolete aircraft).

One year after his transfer (and well after he began getting excited about and making concrete plans for retiring and returning to his beloved California), his name appeared on the promotion list, which produced a delicious (for us) dilemma: did he take the promotion he always wanted (which would require a 2-yr. re-enlistment and reassignment on top of the one year he had remaining, delaying his much-anticipated homecoming), or did he retire on schedule (which would mean not accepting the stripe he had wanted forever)?

Either way, he lost something precious, and we loved it!

Keep the moral high ground and the sweet smile Karin.

Karin, how did the interview on Friday go? Anything good to report?

I went out this morning to put in an application for a job which appeared in our paper this weekend, secretarial job for a school system. I could only fill out the application today, but asked the secretary at that office what the job consisted of. She said it was for the transportation dept., which means the buses, etc. She said they would probably call by Weds. for interviews–Yippee!! I hope I get called. The job sounds like it would be pretty casual, and I’d like that-don’t have to get really dressed up every day.

Will keep everybody posted.

Kittenmaster-

I left a post, and my name came up saying I had left a post, but it’s not here? Help!

Got my fingers crossed for you M&M Mom… Good luck!

Thanks everybody! I don’t like being unemployed, though it does give me more time at TDK 🙂

Karin.. I admire your persistence to find a job. You don’t just sit after one interview at one place. You go out and work hard to find a job. WAY TO GO ! Fingers are crossed and positive energy sent that you land a good paying full time permanent job so you can get on with your life in a happy atmosphere.. you and Sylvester.
