A Cry in the Dark

where did the week go?

Man! I can't believe it's already Thursday!

This week has been crazy and I just don't know where the time has gone. I'll give a quick update of what has happened and then try to get back to a more regular posting schedule over the weekend.

I didn't get the job in NC. Yes, I'm very disappointed about that. The whole job situation is complex and I know I really need to spend some time thinking about what I want and need to do. Maybe some time will be available to do that within the next couple of weeks!

Classes started yesterday. I now know that the first week of class is a nightmare if you don't have that first day off from work. There is a TON of reading to get through in the first module and the lecture is tonight. Oh, well! Maybe it will be a slow day at work and I can take some time to complete the reading assignment.

Dad's eyesight has gotten worse and that's bothered me since I got home. I'm doing my best to deal with the guilt feelings that come up every time I see my folks. I am NOT a bad daughter because I don't want to move back there to be closer to them. Neither of my parents expects me to. But I think of how tired and stressed Mom is and I feel guilty. If I were there, she would at least get a break on a regular basis. We've talked about this and they want me to live my own life. Why do I feel so horrible when I leave, then?

Something big is going on at work. All the senior management was in closed door meetings yesterday with corporate people. Those meetings continue today. And no one is talking about what is going on. I know it has something to do with our systems integration based on a couple of comments. Wonder if it also means that people will be laid off? *sigh* I'm not going to let that be a worry right now! Too many things on my plate for that....

Anyway.... A lot of thoughts flying around in my head, but I just haven't had the time to organize them and write them down. Hopefully this weekend will be fairly quiet and I can get some things down on paper.
