Ok, Christmas at work kicked my tail..(it is now crooked and flat.) I worked 12 hrs on Christmas eve and almost 10 on Christmas...so yes..told you, it did pass me by. But that was not quite the end of it..record crowds on Monday and Tuesday as well. I would really like to know what the jobs are that allow people to take the week of Christmas off..because in all the years that I have worked..(since 16 yrs old) I have never found one. We were packed and pretty much stretched as thin as we could get trying to handle the demand.
The second half of the Holidays from ..well....(it rhymes with well...LOL! ) will start Saturday night, New Years eve. I will be in blue (supervisor) and expect to run my butt off. Yes, it does make the shift go faster, but it sure can wipe me out also. The limited number of computers, for the amount of reports that will likely be coming, will be a challenge too. I shall be running after Patrick, and yes, that French man can really move. ( so, do I start eating carbs now? ..and on Saturday take some B vitamins..whoops!! there he goes!) He is a really nice man, but when he curses it makes me crack up. I got the raised eyebrow last week because he was cussing at the schedule he was working on, and I had my head down on my desktop smothering laughter. I told him I could never have an argument with him..he'd start cursing and I would be laughing too hard to fight back. I do work with some really nice people. ( and NO..nothing happening there. Patrick is a typical single French man, and has his hands full with girls chasing after him. We are just friends.)
It's the accent, gets them every time. Me? I like a nice Scottish burr or an Irish lilt...I'd probably hang on every word and not understand half of it.
Since I stopped worrying about being alone it has gotten a bit easier for me. I'd rather enjoy the company of some of my co-workers than EVER consider them for possible romance. Work and romance do Not mix well. Plus, I ended all match making searches months and months ago. If God intends I should be alone then that is what will be. All I'd like is more company and times spent with family and friends. I do sometimes get the 'lonelies', but not as bad as it was last spring and early summer. (Thanksgiving was hard) And frankly, my experiences with being part of a couple leave a lot to be desired, the endings sucked, especially the second time around.
So, I am doing the typical chores during this weekend of mine, and taking it easy in preparation for the next wave of work. Rest, keeping Gilly happy, and chilling. I am quite sure that New Years will have it share of stories to tell.
hugs, g'night,

Patrick sounds like a hoot!
Start packing on the carbs now.....any excuse to eat carbs is good!
Good luck this weekend.
I know that this past year has been tough but you have shown yourself that you are not bad company to be in. Being by yourself is not a bad thing! There is a difference between being alone and lonely. We both know how they feel.
Love, Mel
