Retirement Is Too Far Away

My Brett! and Other Nonsense in My Life ...

I am quite ticked off at how this has all gone down in Packer land. Seriously? We are going to be starting with Aaron gets hurt after every play Rodgers? Aaron throws 7 complete passes out of 20 Rodgers? They had a chance at getting the hall of famer Brett Favre back and they let him go? Seriously? It irritates me. Partly because I will never get to wear my Green Bay #4 Jersey while the man is playing on the team.

Work has been busy.

I keep dreaming that I married a rich guy a long time ago and never knew the pains of working in admin hell. I keep dreaming I was one of those women in this world that had a rich family and never had to work. Dayum my feisty independence! haha Not really - I love my man and my independence - but then I read things like how I can do the same exact work as a man and get paid 21 cents less for it an hour and I am like peace out. I need to retire. I keep telling R that. He keeps telling me to be patient. Patience is just not my forte and I am getting more and more annoyed with my life in it's current state. Let's not forget Ms. Free Rent at the barn. Yeah, that still factors in there.

I learned about a demonstration that a surgical company was going to do on live pigs to show off their new tools. I sent emails to 2 different higher ups about it and I learned from both the Farm Sanctuary and PCRM (Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine) that the demonstration will no longer be cutting up and killing live pigs. VICTORY IS OURS! Let's keep em coming.

This is what I want to focus my life on. Trying to make things right for those who can't speak for themselves. Yet here I sit in admin hell. WWWWHHHHYYYYY????

I hate how doing good things doesn't pay. Yeah it feels good but feeling good doesn't put a roof over yer head, ya know?

Wow. This post is a downer hey? Perhaps I shouldn't have blogged at all. hehe

Happy Wednesday I suppose...

Buy a good bottle of wine on your way home tonight, mix up some niftey snacks and follow with a choclate orgy. That should lift your spirits until the weekend comes.

and you may have to read it more than once, too...

Have you started reading the book you got?

Hopefully your downer week will end with a fabulous fulfilling weekend.
You keep doing the good things you're doing and never ever stop dreaming. Things have a tendency to fall into place. You just have to hang on and believe that.

You are right-they should not use pigs for medical demonstrations, they should be saved for BBQ.

I've been struggling this week with those types of feelings myself. After a wonderful high this weekend, coming to work on Monday sucked.
But take in the whole picture: you have R, Kraymer head, your health, your beauty, your stunning wit and a winning personality. Aside from some money - you have it all!!!

At first I thought WhoTF is Brett? Thought your blokes name started with an R…HaHa.

Can you alleviate some of the hell by chasing fellow staff around with a stapler etc.

You are too passionate to not have your dreams eventually come true. Until then mayhaps a voodoo doll of MsRentFree will help leak some of that frustration out.

I'm loving today...

Yeah, that is friggin' ridiculous about how men get paid more than women for the same job. Are we still in the Dark Ages?That's awesome news about pig success!!!Gawd, there HAS to be a job out there for someone with your qualifications in the non-profit sector... it will come!

WEll,well,happy Wed.There is no reason to be bored.
If you are bored then do something about it.
Go to the hospice house to volunteer,become a big sister,
There are many things out there to do Kris.
I know that you know this,but to step forward and just do it/
Good luck girl.

sounds like pleasant dreams especially in relation to the nightmares I've been having

I spent many years in Admin Hell as well. Finally, my husband made enough money for me not to work but believe it or not, after a while I got VERY bored so I went to work for an animal hospital. The pay sucked but I loved the work!! I promised that I would never work again in ADMIN HELL but after I divorced the rich guy I found myself back in it.
The good thing is.... I found another position in purchasing that was waaaay better than admin assistance stuf and pays so much more I can take care of myself now. I miss the vet job but I can always volunteer....
