My ? to you is this...

Do you start to look at your life? Evaluate where you are and where you want to be?

hmmm good question....I am not sure if its the age or just a certian time in all of our lives that we take stock of where we are and where we want to be and make changes to get there....I find in my walk of life I do this every few yrs. I feel like I need to look inside of me and what I present to others as who I am,to keep being true to me and growing as a member of society and as a human being.
I like having a goal to work towards as well...I always ask a potential asst mgr during thier interview these two questions.....what are your short term goals in life and your long term. If you have no answer it says alot to me.

Jelli do you find that you are reflecting on life right now? I am wondering if its not just that your baby went away to college that can be rough you know

I do a lot of self examination in general, but there's definitely been a change with my kids growing up and out. Bittersweet.

BTW I think many potential employers set people up with those questions. I say this because once upon a time I was a manager too. In the industry of companies that require asst. mgrs(especially fast food and convenience stores) it's not like they do much, if anything, to assist an employee in reaching any goals. Many of them are looking for a body to fill a space for as long and as effectively as possible. *shrugs*

It has been a long time since i was in here..Welcome to the new people..

My checkbook is the boss in my house..We got in a little disagreement and i started to work to much overtime then it became manditory..Well then the sun came out and so did the lawn mower and the sunny day unfinished projects..Time got away from me..I have been wanting to get back in here and thought now was a good time..

My thoughts go out to all the people on the east coast..Looks like Irene isnt hitting as hard as was predicted..That is a good thing..Thinking about the east coast Planet people and the people that i dont know..Waiting for a sunny day to dry things up..

Gotta make a small comment..In the work place i was refered to "a body"..Did not like that at all..You want a body Go to the morgue..There you can get a body..To me that is a person that can not add to the task at hand that needs to be done..I always do my 110% when people around me dont..But i do also understand that sometimes you gotta put a person there just to fill the position wheather they know the job or not..Therefore "The Body" comes into play..Explained that to my boss then got another boss and had to explain it again..Finding out i am not the only one that feels that way..Just throwing that out there..

Wanted to pop in and throw a hello in and a small comment..Better get outside and get something done,like an unfinished project..

Wishing everyone a good day..

Ok,every one move over so I can pull up a chair. Hey,how is everyone? I see some new people in here! I wasn't getting notices from here so I didn't think things was still going on here. I've been sick and in need of a kidney. My kidneys are only working about 24% they have diped down as far as 14 % and at 10% they will not substane life. I need a trans plant. The funny part is every budy seems to think you have to be dead in order to be a doner,but you don't. Only has to have same blood typ I have. I don't know my typ yet. I have a lot of testing to be done,to see if my heart and lungs will take the surgery. Also,if I have a live doner,that might be a plus when,it comes to my health Ins to pay for it. If not then,I can't have the surgery. I have emailed Kidney foundasion and they tell me to email this othere place,I do and they tell me to email this place. I hate getting the run around when it comes to my life.
Any ways I'm glad this room is still open.I wanted to stop by and say hello and wish all well. blueeyes226_l
