Good evening all.
It was a tense day at work. I can't go into much details, but my agency has made some people mad by following the rules that we did not used to follow. The ultimate objective is to change the rules, but we are doing this by creating a fuss. I was on the phone a lot today.
I'm a little confused, Gary. Are you upset about the enforcement of the rules? Or is just that you were talking to people who were mad?

I am in the front line of the complaints and I get them when the people are really upset. We have been talking about the problem for years and now during the busy season we decided to enforce it. I agree the rule should be changed, and it will not be changed until next year because it has to go thru the legislature and they just finished up for this year.
We could have planned it better.
Ain't it always the way...
I'm sorry you had to handle all the griping. But you seem like a guy who can handle it. When that sort of thing happens to me (part of the job of being a mother) it always exhausts me.

Its been a long day for me also. Ran into an old friend. He wants to be more than friends. I am not getting into that with him. He had issues. Can't make up mind. Always playing the field. I was glad to see that he was alive and well, but thats all. The past has a way of coming back and testing you. But I am not feeling that.

Good morning everyone!!!
I have good news, bad news, and GREAT news. 
The good news is, the Skillet concert was AWESOME last night!! I managed to get a poster autographed for Thing 2, my headache was pretty much gone and we had a BLAST!!! Kyoudai and I danced, and head banged and all that jazz. *sigh*
The bad news is, I didn't get home until after 1:30 so I'm a bit tired...lol. A bit more than 3 hours of sleep is not enough for me. Praise God I had the foresight to have my mum call and make sure I was up. I just kept hitting the snooze button. *giggle*
And the GREAT news is...I am a Child of the King and NOTHING is going to get me down! I got a WONDERFUL email from a WONDERFUL friend last night and *sigh*...I'm walking on water from it. *giggle*

what a way to start the day, tink! who needs sleep (till about 9p tonight.. lol)?!?
LOLOL!!!! It'll be later than that. I have Bible study at my house and everyone doesn't leave until around 10-10:30. Then Kyoudai comes back and we hang out until about 12 or 1. *grin* Although I have a feeling he and I will make this an early night...*giggle*

Morning, All! I had a good night last night. My son's baseball team is in FIRST PLACE now, having beaten the former first place team 8-1!!! Go Green (color of uniform, btw. Kiwanis is the sponsor, but "Go Kiwanis" doesn't sound as good.)

Hey DJ. It's a funny thing abouit the past isn't it. I tracked down my first real serious girlfriend a while ago just to see how she was doing.
Thank God he delivered me from that. She turned out to be someone I wouldn't cross the street to talk to. All the little tendencies she had way back when developed into major problems.
So it's wise to be aware of the tests and pass them.
