Summer's coming!

I've discovered something recently.  Somewhere along in my adult life, I stopped making eye contact with every person I come across.  I noticed it off an on over the years, but just thought it was one of those things that happen from time to time.  I've lately come to the conclusion that it has to do with my belief that they eyes are the window to the soul.  And frankly, there are some souls I don't want to have contact with!

It comes up at work a lot because I don't have a lot trust in management at my BigBox store.  The boss mentioned my lack of trust, but gave me the chance to explain.  I've worked in the same store, same position, for eight years.  And throughout that time, I've had changes in management more often than some folks change underwear!  Add to that a fellow employee who supposedly works "for me", who doesn't follow instruction, and doesn't care to follow instruction, who's just there to collect a paycheck.  He has done things that are against policy, I've called him on it, I've reported him to management, but no one has backed me up.   Total lack of trust in a management team (in general) is the result.

I've been in a state of "I don't know what to do next" for the past few days.  It happens often when work is crazy-busy and work's all that's on my mind.  Thank goodness in 10 more days, all that will be behind me.  *fingers crossed*


I decided I'm taking a long weekend in June.  And I'm not telling anyone that I'm doing it.  If I decide to hibernate at home, or take off on a road trip, it's no one's business but mine.  No one's agenda but mine.  Every vacation for the past 2 years have been to see family or with family.  And as always, I take a back seat to all that everyone else wants to do.  Which is OK in most cases, because no one in my family shares any of my own passions.    Maybe heading up toward Sedona will work wonders! Altho a day at the beach sounds awesome to me, too. :)
 
Summer's coming ... what will you be doing?
