Thursday, It's Nice To See You

I know I said I would do better. Sorry. I really don't have an excuse, just lack of motivation, I guess. M has been sick all week and I think I'm catching it now... wonderful, just in time for the weekend. My birthday is next week, so I just better feel better by then!

Well, I am interviewing for a new job next month. Usually, I don't get very nervous about these types of things... but for some reason I am about this one! The position is still within my company and similar to the job I have now, but in a completely different division. I have been thinking a lot lately about where I want my career to go and I have decided if I stay right here in this position in this particular department... I will go nowhere. Last year I was moved over to my current job from another department. I understand why it was done. The company was going through layoffs and in order to save everyone's job, I was moved to another position within Supply Management. I have to say, I'm a little resentful. It feels like a catch 22. I loved my old job, and now? For reasons I won't get into here, I don't like getting ready in the morning knowing I have to go to work... I count the days, hours until the weekend and am just a little irritated on Sundays when I know I have to go back to work the next day. Don't get me wrong, I will always keep a positive attitude and do my job the best I can, but I have to look out for myself, too, and I'm ready for a change. It's time to move on, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Onto other things. Let's talk about the oil spill for a minute. It's no secret that I am no fan of Obama. But that's a different post for a different day.

I say we need to stop this spill and clean it up... NOW (as would most people), right? Well, then wth was with the President's speech to the nation to address this issue? Obama used this as an opportunity to make a point of telling us we need to become less dependent on foreign oil. I don't think that's anyone's main concern right this second. Let's get this oil spill stopped and cleaned up before we start talking about the foreign oil issue! And why would Americans want to contribute to a national energy tax to a government that has not done well in their response to this oil spill crisis?

Sure, BP has a lot of blame in this... but why such a poor effort from the government? God forbid if George W. Bush were still President . He would have been crucified.

Just my two cents. I hope everyone is having a good week!
