Leslie Nord's Random Thoughts on Friends, Family and Life

I never was much of a writer - more like a rambler that easily gets lost in a tangent. My blog lets me go out on those tangents any time I want to. So remember, life is like a roller coaster: sit down and hang on. Sometimes you'll want to scream, sometimes you'll puke, but give it a chance and you'll find it can be a lot of fun.

When A Guinea Pig Makes You Cry

May 30, 2006 by leslie Leave a Comment

You know your having a bad day when your daughter calls to find out what she can do for her sick guinea pig and you cry. I had to take a few steps back and look at what the real underlying issues are. I was upset because she got left behind by her father (due to this guinea pig). I was upset because there really wasn’t much I could do for her from here other than research the problem. And the problem was serious.

But there was more going on than just Megan’s issues. Things have been in utter turmoil at the day job since the webmaster officially gave his notice. I had figured it out a few months earlier. Our department head claims he knows nothing and is in the dark just as much as we are. But then he drops comments that give indications that there really is a clear plan waiting to be implemented after the webmaster leaves. It’s the thought of that plan that has us all upset. It’s sounding like there will be a restructuring of our department and it will put us under the supervision of a department that many of us don’t want to work for. To say the least we have butted heads with this department on numerous occasions and in my opinion it’s because there is not a clear understanding of what we do and what tools we need to do our job.

I keep saying I need to get my resume updated – looks like I’m not the only one here who is doing that.

Those of you who were betting that my knees would be the first "metal" replacements, you lost. I now have a bit of titanium in my cervical spine. I wonder if the doc will give me a pic of the post-op x-rays?

Those who know me, know to send lavender roses and daisies.
