About Me

I am a native Houstonian. I have never lived elsewhere. I have had the opportunity to travel over the years. I am a recovering alcoholic. I have one cat who is indoor only.I love coffee very hot, popcorn, sweets, the sound of hummingbirds in flight, the songs of Mockingbirds, chirp of the Cardinals,butterflies, puppy breath, horse breath, the feel and sound of a cat purring (especially mine).

life safari 8/20/08

this week is flying by. tomorrow will make 3 late nights at work with MS meetings.

I have finally resigned myself to the fact that, although I rather not work them, I don't want to be out looking for another job even more.

I have, over time (the past year) realized that I can be patient and weigh the pros and cons of a situation and make a decision based on real facts rather than emotion.

And, after all, my week is flying by because I am so busy.

A client crashed through a gate arm today and had the audacity to try and make it my fault. His concept is that, when he hands me his ticket, the gate opens. The heck with inputting the time of entry into the computer so it can process the charges and then automatically raise the gate. It takes all of 3 seconds-apparently more time that he was able to wait. To add to the mix, he got very defensive and threatening. " If I receive a bill for more than $ 25.00 I will not pay it." "I've never been anywhere that the gates takes so long to open." Blah, Blah, Blah.

I find it interesting to witness on a daily basis how people try so hard to shirk their responsibilty for their actions. I lived that way in my past.

I am Grateful and Thankful for...

That's such a true statement about people shirking their responsibilities.
