So long, and thanks for all the fish! (Originally posted on Tuesday, August 28, 2007)

That's what I feel like here lately...just like the dolphins in "The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy".

With everything going on at work right now I feel like that's what we have to do to move on to the next level. It's horrible really...I wasn't laid off, but those that were it's like "Hey we'll miss you and the nice things you do, but we no longer have a use for you as the world is changing and you're not part of it from now on." Even those of us staying are adjusting to this new environment...be it through schedule changes...job realignment...everyone learning what they can to "survive" and be "useful".

Can I turn into a dolphin and just swim off? OR Maybe start a "Save the Humans" campaign so things like this don't just happen? OK...maybe I just need more sleep?

It's not just worklife that changes on a dime...it's everything......my son is just thriving and excelling at school...my daugheter isn't a baby anymore she's doing all sorts of new things everyday, but she LOVES gymnastics, and she's GOOD at it! How long will it be they tell me and their dad "So long, and thanks for all the fish"? I realize it won't be soon, but it'll probably be sooner than WE'D like.

I don't know why I think about all this so much...maybe because I'm overwhelmed sometimes....maybe it's because my birthday's around the corner and I miss being a kid getting all excited about having one. Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled that another birthday's coming...as someone wise once told me, "It beats the alternative!" There is so much more I want to do that's for sure!

Maybe we'll win the lottery and I'll quit my job and open a children's theatre...that would be FANTASTIC (Maybe not wise from a financial sense, but FANTASTIC nonetheless!)

Thanks for listening to my ramblings...and this one has just concluded
Love to all!
