Life - don't talk to me about life . . .

There are days, no weeks, that just make you want just give up on it all.

Work has been less than spectacular.
I seem to be running into walls with everything I do.

There is still no web access to the library's catalog(one month & counting).
I also discover more missing data daily.
At the start of this month, one of my co-workers has decided the high road.
This came out of the blue, since they had lately told me how much they liked working at the college.
As a added bonus this action is being done in a slash & burn fashion.
Forget about a professional one month notice, nope just barely a two week warning and out before the quarter is done.
It gets even better - to top it off I have to produce a job evaluation before the departure.
Of course, the lack of one would not affect the soon-be-leaving one, but would get yours truly in the hot seat if not done.
This situation also opens a whole world of headaches as a replacement must be hired.
Every day I walk into work I keep getting the feeling that "something wicked this way comes."

Second biggest worry is the wonderful world of finances.
I have to sit down and work out exactly how much money I need to keep body & soul together. If I know that I maybe able to consider other options.
But to be honest I am just to depress to even think about changing things.

At the home front there are even more unsettling developments.
Since the changing of management companies it seems that a number of my neighbors are leaving the apartment complex.
My dishwasher is acting strange.
And the cat is acting more weird than ever.

Knitting has not been much of a solace either.
I have been in a scarf rut.
It has helped raise money for the school's herb garden, but it almost feels like I'm just coasting along.
I was trying to locate some inspiration on the web, but even that was a no go.
It seemed like everytime I found something, it was connected to a Ravelry link.
Boom! I'm blocked.
It seems that I just don't qualify to be added to this elite group.
I have tried at least 3 times to sign up, but I can't even confirm that I'm on the waiting list.
Guess you have to be a steady blogger or a knitting celebrity to be accepted.

Well this little knitter will just have to make do, keep her head down & accept her place in this world.

Wishing others a better time - purlpaw
