generic posting

so here i am, having survived a rather icky week at work. out sick one day with a sinus infection. so much happens each day in the human resources world that there is never a good time to be gone. take a lunch and someone needs an ambulance. stay out sick and 3 crises explode at once. each meeting has new policies or training information vital to upcoming projects. it is a constant maintenance of chaos, and we can only do what we can do.

it's easy to get frustrated, to take things personally. practically everything we do is confidential, so no one really knows the overwhelming amount of information we collect, process and analize each day, let alone lead any big projects that come along. it's hard to get criticized when we're doing the best we can and we know that those judging us don't have all the information; information we can't even give out. i wonder if this is how super-secret spies feel?

in the meantime, pup has been going through another bout of not having the ability to hold her bladder all day or all night. she's back on a little pred, just a crumb with meals, and it seems to help. that, and nocturnal potty breaks. and we've resumed her walks, now that the weather is cooling off. she seems very healthy and happy otherwise, altough very vigilant with a new dog in the neighborhood. oh, the barking...

it'll be rainy this weekend, so i hope to get more cleaning done. i've neglected the house a bit too much, i think. and the outside - gardening, and landscaping, and painting the garage, and making small repairs. it never ends, and sometimes i really love it. right now, though, i really wish i had a few personal assistants.

i am, however, looking forward to a weekend in-house. with naps. and chocolate.

xoo,
