There's this quote taped to my "awfical" (office + cubical = offical but in my case it's "awfical) that reads:
"The people with whom you work reflect your own attitute. If you are suspicious, unfriendly and condescending, you will find these unlovely traits echoed all about you. Buf if you are on your best behavior, you will bring out the best in the persons with whom you are going to spend most of your waking hours."
Well, it's obviously fallen on blind eyes. I mean would it kill you to say "hello" in the morning? Yeah, we're all very busy. Not good enough.
Time is up; gotta run.

Where have I been, you wonder?
Okay loyal blog fans...both of you...I'm here, finally. The summer is almost over. Actually calendarwise it is over today. Yeah. We made it through the 106 degree days. This is not to say it won't happen...Theoretically it could. I've been looking so forward to fall, to football, to the death of those annoying crickets or whatever they are that live in the trees and make a ton of noise, to the end of basking in my own sweat. I will miss leaving the house each morning in a short sleeve shirt and not worrying about whether or not I will need a sweater. (Well, w/ AC you always need a sweater but I keep one at the office for that reason.) Life is good.
Missing my mom is my favorite pastime still. I was especially taken back when the Buffalo Bills won last Sunday. This is the first season without her to root on "her boys". They won and my first inclination was to call her. Crap.
I have removed myself from my job. My boss says in reference to my job, that "the job is what the job is." I've been at it for over seven years and I have been trying to make more out of it than it is. I want to "own" the job when in reality the best I could hope for is to "rent" the job. It's a job not a career. So, I do not put in more time than required, I do not donate any of my time, I walk out the door and don't look back. Until the next day. This is how they want it; this is how it is.
I'm going to watch a movie.
