Noobie #3 and other situations from today


Picture 005

    Rapid change.  Did you ever find yourself in a seemingly precarious place in life and think it was the end of the world only to find out,  that’s really where you needed to be to perfect some change in you….?   Hmmmnnn……

Today I trained noob #3 a little bit.  I really don’t feel comfortable calling her noob!  She is old enough to be my mom. 

 Quiet.  Soft spoken.  Motherly…grandmotherly? 

  Bless my hollow heart, I guess I will be the only one in the office joking and laughing, and being generally improper at work. lol. 

 Anyway, It will be quite a little bit of time before  Ms. “Darla” (not her real name) gets accustomed to working here and trained.

  She is very nice.  very nice indeed. 

 Besides this today,  I worked with a scattered mind.  Couldn’t really concentrate on one thing or another, although it was an easy day.

  The rain or cold front has made it in today and the sound of it rolling down the gutters and roof quietly, is pacifying  me. 

I’m having issues with Big A and  I need this bit of respite.  I will just say that Big A is on lockdown.   Tonight was her first night on grounding, and she spent a tearful, drama filled evening trying to bargain her way to a no grounding. 

 nup.  not gonna happen, gurl.  

  So there she went onto the patio in the back,  and I just thought she was going to get a fresh air.  10 minutes later, I came to find her sitting out in the rain, with lightning in the distance.  Her legs crossed indian style,  her head and neck and back soaking wet.   I mean I almost lost it. 

 Am I not supposed to train this chick not to do certain things without her emotionally blackmailing me? 

 I called her in the house and told her to change into dry clothes and then stay in her room for the night.     She talked to her big sister on the phone for awhile and that seemed to soothe her.    I don’t know what else life has in store for her and i.  i don’t know what else i can handle. 

 

 

Doug has washed his hands of trying to deal with her stubborness (committing the same infraction over and over just because she doesn’t agree with the rules)    If he had his way, he’s want her grounded 2 months for this one.  So overboard!  ( i ended that discussion lest i say something i will regret a hundred years from now) 

I don’t really know how I am feeling, just that I’m weary tonight.  Thank goodness we have a veteran’s day holiday in the middle of the week.  that makes a great break up to the week.  I’ve been so tired lately.    TTYL. K?   Love and hugs,  SG ((()))).

    Ms. Darla sounds like a good addition to the office. Too bad you don’t work in my office. We could laugh, joke and be improper together. Laughter is the best medicine!

    Tony~ I’ve heard you say that before. I’m glad it got better for you, are they productive adults now?… here’s to hoping it gets better before they move out.

    Terri~Well, I’m reasonably sure she will be, and she is glad to have the job to retire from (that’s what she tells me) I wish I could work in your office, you sound like a riot! lol. I always say if you are going to spend the better part of your life, 8 hours a day, doing something, you better be happy there!

    Productive adults???
    I said 2, I meant 3. The middle aged one has settled down into a normal life & got his act together. The oldest & youngest ones are still nothing but trouble. Glad they live far away because they have caused their mother so much greif…
