I cannot help but wonder, all the occasions when people completely missed the point of what Jesus’ had said, how frustrating was that for Him?
I would think, very.
At least Jesus got to turn over tables and make some ” You hypocrites” speeches.
Ha, ha! I just had the […]

Memo: Shift. Shift!!!

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

It used to be that all my focus and energy went to pleasing “those” people.
But recently, as my efforts again proved futile, I shifted gears.
My dominating feeling began to be, ” Whatever. Too bad; so sad. Deal with it.”
Granted, that is not an appropriate attitude to walk around with.
This is not an excuse for my change in mindset, […]

Memo: Back in the Blue

To: Whom It May Concern
From: Simone
Subject: Back in the Blue
Date: March 18, 2008
Today is my first day to be officially back on the sales floor.
I return with a sense of disconnect, in which I am desirous to please but no longer so desprate to do so.
In other words, while I still intend to work hard every shift with an energetic […]

Memo: Ironing Out The Wrinkles

I really ought to press my shirt so I can get dressed for work.
The task is not difficult but I can scarcely bring myself to do it.
I think it is because the moment I put on that uniform, my reassignment back to sales […]

Memo: Holey Cow

Date: March 14, 2008
Early today, I put together a folder at the request of my executive boss. She gave me the supplies.
The documents she wanted compiled were ever so slightly longer than the folder she wanted them in.
This resulted in the papers showing a little outside the bottom […]

Memo: Executive Decision

I got written up at work for a careless mistake. I definitely deserved the censure; in my error, I put myself at risk.
My executive boss was very gracious regarding the whole thing.
She called me into her office, explained why I would have to be written up, […]

Memo: CYA

Subject: CYA
Date: March 13, 2008
It took me 72 + hours but I have decided that my work situation is not the most terrible thing.
Worst occurrences have happened all over the world and to me personally.
In ten years’ time- pshaw, probably in one year, this experience won’t even register as a […]

I am back in limbo again.
I almost wish I had been sent immediately back to the sales floor.
At least then I would have been spared the humiliating charade of playing office assistant.
5:00 pm
LOL. I got my wish.
I was sent to […]

I am so tired of things going wrong!
Even as I typed that, I realized that not everything has.
In this particular situation, I hate how I feel as if I have made no progress.
I stressed so much about getting the office assistant job and put so much […]
