In a Hundred Years Who Will Care?

This has been one of those weeks that you keep telling yourself, "Just get through this one and it will all be better..."

I can only hope that will be true, however I think it may be more like, "Just get through the next 6 months and it will be tolerable!"

On Tuesday my boss announced (at about 4:55 p.m.) that she had resigned and her last day was February 15th. This sent me and my entire department into a major tailspin. I didn't sleep at all and last night wasn't much better.

My departmental structure is like this:
My boss
Me
Coordinator
Admin. Assistant

So we are not that big and we are enveloped in this huge corporate educational monster of a "business".

Yesterday I got an email from the President summoning me and the other 25 leadership staff to an "Information Meeting" on Monday from 4-5. Well, I will be in Florida, so that ain't gonna happen. I know that the bulk of this meeting will encompass my department and I will have to find out second hand.

I don't know what they are going to do, but we have major stuff about to happen and I just want to know. Tell me, Tell me, Tell me.

I feel like when I was a little girl and my parents would take me and my sister on "surprise" trips. Sometimes it would be the circus, or a picnic, or the doctor. Tell me, Tell me, Tell me!

When I was three years old my mom was pregnant with my little sister and she and my dad decided to take me to my first circus. We were on our way and we stopped at a rest stop. My mom said that she took me in to the bathroom and I looked up at her with joy in my face and said, "Pretty Bathroom..." She said it was precious. I thought that was where they were taking me and I was excited about it!

That is the way I have always been. My husband laughs at me because I get excited about the silliest things. It does not take much for me to be totally thrilled. I tell him he should be glad that I am happy with the "little things". He laughs and says, "Yes I should". wink wink grin grin

He says I remind him of Dharma from the show "Dharma and Greg". I get all excited and act like a little kid about even simple little things.

You know what? I am glad that this is the way God made me. Although this same trait means that I get upset about "little" things as well.

I am not saying what is going on in my life right now is "little", but in the grand scheme of things they are.

In a hundred years who will care? Not me :)
