Been up since 5:30 - Rosco started crowing and wouldn't
stop. Guess he didn't like the brief downpour we had.

Waiting for my girlfriend to come help me turn the mattress.
I can't do it on my own, and DH hurt his back yesterday
bringing in the fish off the trot lines. I try to turn them
at least twice a year, if not more.

Looks like rain, which suits me just fine.

Getting some 'puter time in before I start my day.

Can't believe it's already mid-January!

My motivation is failing me. It's hard to be excited to do a job I don't get to keep. It's like, why am I doing all this work so someone else can get the benefit?

Ahh, DG, at least you know you will be leaving it
in perfect condition!

Its like whenever I have moved out of a house or
apartment - there was always toilet paper in every
bathroom, paper towels in the kitchen, and every
light fixture had a full complement of bulbs. You're
leaving the position in the best condition it has ever
been.

Good news? It's pleasant outside. 66 with a real feel of 70.

Bad news? I've been battling a stomach bug since last night.

I'd like to go drown some worms, er, I mean fishing. Haven't been in a really long time.

 That's a really good question.

Why are you?

 Because for now, it's my job. And I'll get to train who ever they hire, again. Seriously, this will be the 3rd person in a year. I just want to spend some time wallowing and being bitter

 My question is, if you are good at it, why hire another?

Do you not like the job? 

Asking because I'm really curious and kind of confused.

I don't blame you for being unhappy in the situation.

 This gets a little confusing, but I'll try to explain. 

I had position A. But after a management change, it was decided my skills were better utilized is position B. They hired a new person for position A. Then they fired that person and had me doing both position A and position B while they searched for someone to fill position A. They hired another person for position A and she quit 2 weeks later. I was then put back in position A. I guess they have now decided I am more valuable in position B and are hiring someone new for position A. But until that happens, I am still in position A. 

I don't really want position A. I would rather position B (or position C if a certain VP gets his way). But it's hard doing long term projects knowing I'm not going to get the benefit of the work or even to be the one to finish it. I'm trying to look at the positive that in essence, the vice presidents are fight over who gets me in their department. But I feel like I'm in limbo, not knowing how to plan or proceed.

 Ok. Got it.

Can't you finish the projects you are working on even if you move back to position B? 

Seems it would be best for the same person to follow through.

I hope you get what you want.

Thanks Lily. I know I'll end up in the right place eventually. I have faith in that.

As for finishing the projects, it's more that I'm really taking a hard look at the job and getting procedures and training in place to make things flow easier. So even if I get to finish that process, I won't get the benefit from them like I thought I would when I embarked on them.

My afternoon when downhill. I was missing information for a monthly report I compile. And this is *my* fault because I didn't nag able-bodies adults for their information. Adults that have been made well aware that their numbers are to be turned in by the 10th. But it's my fault they are missing. I can't win sometimes. I'm going to drown my sorrows in Chinese food.

 OH! I see!

That makes perfect sense.

I was thinking something more like a presentation or a contract or something.

Yes, setting up training and support programs are important and don't always benefit the one setting them up.

I've missed you all so much! But we are finally home after three very long days beginning with a trip threw a mini blizzard.
I'll fill you all in tomorrow. I'm crashing for the night out of exhaustion.
Sending good thought out for all of you.
