Time is fast approaching for the long anticipated trip to Colorado to see my Dad. Lol..I think a week away from my computer will be both a weird experience but also a needed one. Maybe the carpal tunnel which has been raising it's painful head will give me a reprieve. I really did not have a problem with it till about a month ago. I suspect it's a combination of work and home computer time, plus chip fills. Raising 25 lbs in a swinging motion to chest height is what triggered it. Nowadays I am doing the ambidextrous chip fill, using my left arm as much as possible, it has helped a bit.
More heavy hints on becoming a full time supervisor have been given. I am still leery of this promotion, mostly because the change will cause my checks to decrease. Strange I know that a promotion comes with less pay. I have been sending off my own evaluations with heavy hints that this practice is very backwards, and needs to be addressed. But it is obvious that the parent company would prefer we just remain grateful and work for less.
We have been losing staff, and will likely lose more to a new employer in the area that is offering better pay.
Gee..oh never mind..I better not say what I had intended. I have not looked into it yet myself, though the temptation is there. As long as gas prices keep going up I am loathe to make a change, I spend very little in gas, I can run for 3 weeks or more on a 1/2 filled tank. In today's word that saves me about $40-50 dollars a month.
I never thought I would like living in Charles Town, but I do. Nothing is very far from me, doctor, hospital, work, shopping. Where I live, behind it all, I can almost feel as though I am still country living. The neighborhood is quiet, and it's a rare thing to have trouble here. It's 30 minutes to Winchester, VA from here, and 20 minutes to Martinsburg, WV. I never hit traffic when I travel, such a change from the 95 corridor. I can leave for work and be there in 5 minutes..lol. Plus Charles Town has charm. It's not a strip mall on every corner with the same stores offered. The small businesses still have a chance, even with Walmart in town. There seems to be a civic pride still retained, with parades and town celebrations.
Inwood lacked personality (where I lived prior to being kicked out..another story) it was thrown together with no direction. The traffic there can be hideous at certain times of the day...and only because there was really no planning to the town at all.
I hope that everyone has a great week..my Friday is tomorrow, *your Tuesday* ,but since am working
Thursdays for a while my weekends will be split up.
hugs
