This could get down right ugly.

I am one of the least confrontational people you will ever meet. I try everything to avoid conflict. But I also have a limit, and when I feel like I am being taken advantage of or that someone is trying to use a situation to make me feel bad I can get nasty.

My boss comes in again this morning and says,"Well, we put an ad in the paper but it won't run until Sunday.". First of all, why didn't they do it right away Tuesday or Wednesday morning after they found out? Anyways she continues to play the 'poor me' act and asks if I'd sit in and help with the interviews. I said I would have no problem doing that as she kept eyeing the calendar. I know what she is getting at. They aren't going to be able to find someone to do what I can do by my last day, the 14th. And no, I will not ask my new employer to bump back my start date. The sooner I'm out of here and into my new gig, the better.

It's funny how the character and attitude of a person can change over night. Monday and Tuesday, she was completely rude to me. Not a single please or thank you. Wednesday suddenly brought out a pleasant tone and a smiling face...Why the change? Oh that's right, I quit.

The ever changing, never ending list.

I hear a lot about bucket lists. I dunno, maybe I have one. More of my 'lists' are current lists, 5 year lists, 25 year lists...but I guess they all could be bucket lists because we don't know how much time we've got at the dance. Over the past 2 years my wants have drastically changed. I've been focusing on simpler things, true things. Not reaching so much for more, just trying to enjoy what is here more. That goes for family, friends, opportunity, relationships...not material things. (Except I really really want a canoe or kayak so I can get out on the water soon) Is it possible to make a list that won't change?  Is it possible to remain true to the values of a 34 year old father, when those very values seem to have shifted based on life experiences? Are the items on my list too specific? Maybe... Love Honesty Compassion Health Fun More to come on this one I'm pretty sure.

Take us out to the ball game.

Last night we ventured over to the Explorers baseball game after dinner, it was great. Jordan talked to the X's pitching crew out in the bull-pin for a while, and they ended up giving him a ball. He's such a sports guy! The pitcher that gave him the ball said, "Can you give it a throw?" and so he did...over his head out into left field! Of course my diva Bell had more fun doing spins and drinking a slush, but that's all good. I love my family.
