Ok, I'm venting. The past few weeks have sucked. I'm getting tired of doing the job of someone higher up than me and not getting paid for it. I want to take some vacation, but I can't because all the time is already "spoken for", all the way through the middle of September. I haven't had more than a three day weekend since the end of March. I need to get the hell out of this place. My stress level has been through the roof. I'm loosing one of my employees because the powers that be wouldn't let them have they're vacation time after it was approved because someone with more senoirity wanted it. I'm about ready to start ripping my hair out. Or start screaming. I'm going home tonight, making some daquruis, smoking a cigar and having my way with my husband. I need to destress, big time.

Yeah, If our shooting range wasn't flooded and infested with snakes, I'd go out and releave some tension with some target practise. We like to shoot up junk. Like old tvs and motorcycles, old fire extinguishers are always fun too.

When I feel like that, I line up all the pillows on my bed, and beat the pillows with my fists and scream whatever comes out. Until all the frustration and irritation is gone. God, I haven't done that in a long while - maybe I should go do that myself!

Sorry to hear you are in such a spot. Hope things get rosier for you. But once you get some of that pent-up frustration out of you, you may find that all the external irritations don't faze you so easily. You'll be more irritation-resistant.

Good luck!

Hahahaha!! That sounds like a good idea! I'm thinking maybe I'll pretend I'm a pirate, since I'm drinking rum and all. Digger was teasing me a while ago about drinking like a pirate, so I found a pirate name genorator, turns out he was right! My pirate name came back as Pirate Jo the Rum Swiller!! Maybe I'll dress up and show you all what Pirate Jo looks like! Haha!

It's funny you say that, because next weekend I'll be getting some respite from the institutional world of work by dressing up in Renaissance costume (some of which is very pirate-looking) and going to a Renaissance Festival in Sterling, NY, where I will be drinking heavily, smoking good cigars, and flirting mightily with all the buxom lasses in their corsets and whatnot. It was at the last Ren. Fest. I attended, back in March in Tampa, FL, that I was given the name of Charming Karl. God only knows what will happen this time around! I bet you and your mister would fit in famously with that crowd of fun-loving rabblerousers.

Well, the only renn fest I've attended was as a bellydancer, which was awesome! It was actually my first performance this past may. So I have all the gear to be a pirate. And I can also get out my corset. I think DD may be thanking you before the weekend is over for giving my creative juices a little kick start!!

Sounds like there's going to be some sparks flying over there! Hope you have a great time. Give my best to Mr. DD. Come to think of it, I'll mosey on over to his page and drop him a note.

Cut loose and have some fun this weekend!

Oh, I plan on it! If the weather co-operates, we're taking the bike out for a ride tomorrow, and we have a Flickr walk at the Sunken Gardens tomorrow at 6. I haven't gotten to ride on a motorcycle with DD for a loooooooong time.

Well, I went a little tribally with my make-up, got into my bellydance coustume, I dance Improvisational Tribal Style, made my daquruis and smoked. Great fun! I realised in the middle of the night I need to pull out my Melodia pants, perfect for being a pirate. So there will be another photoshoot soon. I'll get some pics up here as soon as I get some time to process and resize them. Oh, and Carl? We both owe you a BIG thank you! Haha!
