Jul. 3rd, 2008 12:23 amReviewing my last series of entries, I come across as practically a basket case. This really is not the case, though I do have some issues, of course. Suffice it to say, I was a bundle of nerves at the thought of losing out on a chance to have a break, potential issues at work, and the weekend of the break was shadowed by my memories. Kinda like a perfect storm of emotions. Add to that a crashed PC and the potential for a great deal of lost work and data and me on the business end of a LJ posting interface, and, well, you have my last post.
All is not lost, however. This week I resolved some problems at work, Jeff got his dealings at work a bit more nailed down, and I am putting in some long term changes. PTown looks better and better, as we anxiously await our first true vacation of the year. I have changed to a 9-80 work schedule that will give me every other Friday off. This will allow me to catch up on stuff around the house as well as help to accommodate long weekends for things such as camping trips. This will also help to save some gas money as well. Just tonight filling up the truck, the MINI and a five gallon diesel fuel container cost me 165 dollars. Anything to put a dent in these increasingly major costs is welcome, and needed. So each step I take in these directions will lend themselves to my peace of mind. Something I sorely need. Issues like the busted PCs can wait, and I will tend to them after our big getaway.
I have to also thank everyone for their concern and advice. It's not being ignored or dismissed. Just knowing there are folks out there willing to take a moment of their time and offer good advice helps in itself. I've been taking some time away from LJ as well to tend to things, and also just plain collapse after coming home from work and recuperate. Lots of good things planned for the near and not-so-near future have both of us happily looking forward to some fun stuff and finished projects.
I see the light a the end of the tunnel, and I am pretty sure it's not an oncoming train anymore.
