As Promised

As promised my goal of posting something everyday fell flat.

I am glad to see that other people are starting to join. However, it is really slow getting people to go with it. I do have to say that it is disappointing to know that I sent out 35+ emails in the original invite and we only have about 15 people registered. I find that to be a big bummer!! If it continues to be the limited few I will stop the blog and those of us that want to communicate can do so by e-mail. Yes, I understand that there won't be something posted everyday by everyone, but a little more interest would be nice. That's all I'm saying about that.

Life has been going pretty well for me. Nothing really to complain about other than the traffic. That seems to be really getting on my last nerve lately. I was annoyed before, but the other day when I65 South was closed, including the off ramps, I lost it. Actually I was pissed off!

Wednesday started out wrong for me because of the traffic. I was going to say that it was the icing on the cake, but really it started the whole chain of events. I got up and got ready for work early and quickly so that I could get through the traffic congestion nightmare by taking I64 East. While getting dressed my accessory, as many of you know is my watch, wristband broke. Since I was leaving in a rush my kiddos were standing on my bed awaiting their goodbye hugs, which I was anxious to get because well the traffic was definitely not a warm feeling. After giving my boys hugs and kissing the wife, I was off. Making my usual stop by the McDonald's to get my Hazelnut Iced Coffee and breakfast sandwhich to help with my morning blues over the traffic, I realized that I had forgotten to put on my name tag. Dammit!! I pull on to Spring Street thinking I will get to the on ramp quickly. WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!! About a million other people traveling to the great state of Kentucky for employment had decided to do the same thing. For 40 minutes I sat in downtown New Albany inching my way to the interstate. Finally getting to the interstate, I make my way around I264 to Shelbyville Road. Arriving at the salon and punching in at 8:28 when I normally get there about 7:40. GGGGRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!! Did I mention that this is also the day of my job evaluation?

I went from being extremely aggitated to full blown anxiety until my evaluation at 1:45. By the time I got upstairs to meet with owner and general manager, I was shaking like a leaf and I am not joking. Right before my evaluation, Denise and I met in the hallway in front of her office, I explained to her what I was feeling. She looked at me rolled her eyes and said, "You're on crack." She's funny!! Went in the meeting, had my eval and everything was fine.

Lesson to be learned. Don't let things get to you. The only person that hurts from it is you. Let things roll like water off a ducks back or my son Matthew's head.
