Okay, so i took a "longer than i should have"
break. It's nearly embarrassing - and really would
be if it weren't for the fact that i hit the wall on just
about everything. Work, writing, art ... just
thinking was an effort by the time the first of October
rolled around. Too many changes!
So i have a new boss - one that i think i'm going to get
along with reasonably well, but is a tad cagey and
sly. This boy knows how to climb the corporate
ladder. If you are on his good side, you
survive. Otherwise....
They've totally dismantled my job, as i (and everyone
else) knew it to be. This of course caused me a few
anxious moments - until i got back from vacation and they
started piling on some of the new responsibilities.
Ouch. But i won't have a chance to be bored for
awhile. This is a good thing. And apparently
i'm getting a fancy new title - they've yet to share any
firm details on salary. That part could get tricky
as, since i've been there, i've been increased more than
the regular employee. HR has issues with this.
i should know more details in a few weeks.
The "treadmill" sped up during all this time and
i have to say when vacation finally arrived i couldn't
leave fast enough! And what a vacation!
Himself and i spent two GLORIOUS weeks in France - mostly
recuperating in an old stone farmhouse about an hour
outside of Paris, with our friends who live there.
Food, wine, sleep. Repeat. Repeat. It was
perfect. I'm a tad rounder. Himself of course
isn't.
We both wish we were still there. This past
Thursday evening Himself picked me up from my dental
appointment and we drove around trying to find somewhere
to eat out. Nothing appealed and he said he wanted to go
back to that "restaurant in France" (meaning the
home where we stayed). i replied; "Sorry
sweetie; it's closed for the season." He
sighed.
We did the next best thing ... went home and made an
omelet and drank French wine.
