I call myself The Wicked Witch of The West for a reason. I do have the temper of an old witch a lot of the time.
Now I don't want you to think I am a loud mouth that goes on and on. I usually don't talk to strangers or butt into buisness that is not mine.
I am a woman of constant frustration. I am not sure why, but I know I have been ticked off since I was just a little witchy. Moses was the original annoyance that tap danced on my nerves as a child.
I wear my emotions right on my sleeve for the world to see. I can not be in a state of distress with out passerby’s seeing it written across my face and my movements as I huff and puff as I walk! One of my friends compared it to Jack Nicholson in THE SHINING.
There was a time when the sound of the mans voice would send me in to an anxiety attack every month or so. I finally had to put down some rules of engagement. I can not be pounced on or badgered with the dumbest questions in the world. Like hearing "Where is the remote?" for the umpteenth time in a day, I can only take so much until I growl "If You WANt the REMOTE WHY DON"T YOU FIND IT AHHHHH!" It does not have to get that far.
And yes sometimes I just set myself off. These are the days I just need to be locked in the garage for a while.
With age I have been tamed to a point. Well tamed as far as fits, but I hate to say I use my wide vocabulary in a much clearer context so the wounds may be a little deeper and more precise.
My wickedness is just a little special part of me. It has come in handy and when used for the good can be a secret key to opening door.
I told the man one time that I was sorry for being so edgy at times. He told me it is one of the reasons why he loves me. There is not much funnier than his re-enactments of some of my prize moments, well the kids also have it down pretty well.
But really I am just an all around nice girl.*wink*
It was a family-owned business with a pancake structure, and everyone got along together. Then the business succeeded, went public, inserted several layers of management, and started to become weighed down by bureaucratic bs and idiot supervisors. That's when I resigned, saying thast after four years I could no longer handle the commute up 101 every day. The truth was, I missed the old days when the CEO-founder himself hired me, and I reported to his sister-in-law. She was a brilliant engineer and businesswoman, and one of my most beloved mentors. Great times during the dot.com boom. At one point both my husband and I were in start-ups.
