Today I got to work... late as usual. But I am there and happy to be there.
Today I also came to a realization that there are people out there who take others for granted. I used to look forward to coming in to work. Working with a good boss, nice people, and one of my bestest friends. It's only been in the recent months that I have been feeling like I have to drag my feet in the mud to walk into the office. I really don't want to be talked at, starred at, and pick up someone else's slack all the time.
I am disappointed and I am taking it personally. It was my job after all that isn't getting done.
It's not that I *have* to pick up the slack. In fact, I probably shouldn't.. that way others will see I am too busy with my own stuff to take on someone else's job.
However... all of the above is only about 20% of what pisses me off day to day. It's the attitude... the non-stop chatter... the refusal to take on new tasks ... the dress as you please days (my favorite is the black too-small camisole top) ... the 7 times a day 15 minute smoke breaks PLUS one hour lunch everyday ... the cell phone conversation inside the office after the boss leaves ... the phone ettiquette, or lack there of ... oh and there's so much more.
And for the cherry on top... today there was a message on the voicemail letting us know of the absence providing no reason whatsoever... that was left last night at 10pm. <-- sidebar: this is not the first time, it's probably the 4th or 5th time.
Tomorrow ... hopefully will be a better day. Hopefully with one less.
I am a raging bitch about this. Maybe I'm just a little more dedicated than some. I feel my job is not to be taken for granted and it's been a priveledge to be employed there.
Maybe it's just me.

2007 Renegades
This weekend 7/21 & 7/22 we have off. I cleaned our house top to bottom, caught up on laundry, cooked some good meals, and went for some retail therapy by myself.
I love our schedule this year. Practically no stress on members. We have deserving weekends off every once in a while. Our shows ALWAYS kick ass. The show is an awesome production so far.
Next week when we go back to TI, we get the remaining 6 coffins to complete our visual effect.
Chris and I just got back from our LA tour. My mom was here to take care of our kids while we're gone so I spent no time worrying about them to death. I knew they were in good hands. Chris' mom came by to take the kids out of my mom's hands Saturday evening and then again Sunday. They all had a great time together.
When we went to LA, we spent Thursday preparing and traveling. Once we got down there, we called James and Lisa for a rondezvous in Santa Monica. Great food at Yankee Doodle bar. Everything else was closed by then so we came back to the hotel for a nightcap. Friday we lounged around all day, switched hotels, went to rehearsal and then had LMS in the dark. Something about the school's transformer blown out and we lost power and had to perform outdoors. Whatever, the guard didn't do anything but be there to support.
That night we partied with friends and witnessed some random drunk people waltz in and out of our hotel room. No really, that really happened. Chris is somehow James' bestman! I wonder if he remembers saying that to him. Or if he rememebered being in our room in the first place. I managed to piss a dude off because I ruined his whole tour due to the fact that I wouldn't let his stanky ass hang out in our room like he was doing last year with Chris (I wasn't on tour with Chris, so last year's rookies think they can come and go with him when they wanted) Think again suckers! Thank God Carlie was there... she would have kicked this dude's ass with her pinky.
We had some shows in between all the fun times. It's hot down there for sure. After Sunday's show, I flew home on the earliest Southwest flight I could get on. Got home around 8:30pm. Chris and Co. got home around 2:30am driving.
Monday morning we were back to normal lives.
Fun times nonetheless. I love this season of Renegades. I am not stressed out, the show is not so complicated that I kill myself trying to perfect it. Real life isn't getting in the way and vice versa.

I don't really know how to end this except to watch this neat video put together by Lee Rudnicki and wife Rumiko.

Something to say
I have none now that I'm sitting here trying to compose something. While I'm driving and can't write, however... I can think of a million things.
Let's see... what's been going on.
Bailey is 13 months old going on about 2 years old. She's got all kinds of spunk and personality. What a little sponge she really is too. You tell her someting once and she has it engraved in her brain forever. Although she still doesn't sleep through the night. That's about the only thing she's got going on that I just wish would change already.
Also, she's been on her feet walking and running since she was 10 months old.
Reese is having a good summer so far. We sent him to summer school, which took place at Anderson Elementary. It's already over, just 4 weeks long. This weekend he left with our next door neighbor and their kids to go camping. He called last night and the first thing he said was "Mom, we are in the woods! There's a lake here but I can't see it." I'm sure he's having all kinds of fun.
My mom is moving in with us July 31st. Which is also Reese's 7th birthday.
She is driving me insane and she's not even living here yet. Her listening skills just aren't there and it just frustrates me very much. I can't understand how someone can be so inconsiderate and not realize it.
Chris' mom is moving also. She is finally going to be in her own home with an empty nest. I know she is really looking forward to it. I am looking forward to seeing her happy, but a little far from us. It's ok, we will still see her often.
My life at work has been a lot of the same. I am unhappy with the environment, but I am happy with the job itself.

Next post will be Renegades related and some pictures.
