So, it's Sunday about 01:45 and I'm currently wide awake - funny since I was dog tired at work. let's see, the college kids are coming back to work which is showing an affect on my schedule - I was working 5 days a week and have been knocked back to 3 or 4 days a week until at least the second week of January. Sure, I complained about it - but all it got me was one of those looks like "Just suck it up." from the manager. I personally do not believe that the college kids should be allowed to return to work because those of us who work year round suffer the costs of lost hours so that the college kids can get some hours.
Oh yes, yesterday we got about a foot and a half of snow - the first real snow fall of the season. If I could just locate my camera I'd take photos! Sadly, I misplaced about 3 months ago and if I don't find it soon, I'm just going to say the hell with it and buy a new one. Back to the subject of the snow lol - of course I wanted to see if the roads were slippery, so on my way home from work last night I waited till I reached the neighbor's then I hit the brakes - yep it was slippery alright lol, I slid right to my driveway! Of course I could've waited until yesterday afternoon to find out how slick it was because when I went out to clean off my car I slipped and fell.
Chelle, one of the managers at work decided that I'm lonely and need a man in my life. So, she suggests that I go out with Kimmie's (another manager) brother-in-law. Last night at work I told Chelle, "Fine, set it up and I'll go out with him but I'm sure he'll find something wrong with me." I don't know how Kimmie's going to feel about - since we work together and all. I guess I'll feel kind of funny about it if he and I do hit it off - then again, I'm NOT getting my hopes up. I just don't see why they can't get it through their thick skulls that I'm not really looking to date anyone right now and that I only said ok to basically, shut Chelle up.
Ah yes, now for my latest antics at work: I managed to piss off one of my co-workers. How? Well, first you'd have to know this woman to understand why I did what I did - she was living with one couple who are taking care of her kids and for the last year I've listened to this woman complain about the woman she was living with - about how she treated the kids and crap like that. Well, just before Halloween the woman choked my friend's oldest son and my friend did NOTHING about it. (That's a real sore spot with me.) Last month my friend got an apartment with this other friend of ours. And not once did she mention having her kids live with them, yet she says she can get her kids anytime she wants them. Last night at work, my friend was saying how the woman she used to live with said she could see her kids if she walked over to get them - now its cold out and all that jazz. So, I listened to her complaining about how she walked over to get her kids, etc etc. Finally, I told my friend that I was sick and tired of hearing her complain and that if her kids really mattered at all to her, she'd take them to live with her. Needless to say she didn't speak to me for the rest of the night. Maybe I shouldn't have been so harsh about it - but in my eyes its the truth. But in hindsight, though that woman is not the best caretaker for those kids, right now they are better off with her instead of their mother. Their mother's hours have been cut at work - not because of the college kids coming back, but because she doesn't do a good job when she's at work. In a way I feel sorry for her - but at the same time I can't feel for her because her attitude makes me detest going to work when I know she's scheduled to work with me.
Now, on the art front: I recently ordered several canvas boards from an art supply retailer because I got this brilliant (or so it seemed at the time) idea to work on some oil paintings. I'm still waiting for them to show up - they should be here by Monday. Anyway, I mentioned this to Chelle and she asked if I would do a portrait of her daughter who had passed away. And I said I would. She wants the portrait for her mom's birthday in March. I don't know how I'll manage to do it without crying - I attended her daughter's funeral both to show support for Chelle and because her daughter was a friend of my youngest son's. Ok, back to the subject of the canvas boards and the idea I had - I've been sketching out different scenarios for the Seven Deadly Sins (I know seems I've been working on these forever!). Well, I decided that I'd transpose those to canvas and do them in oils, then contact the community center and see if they would show them for me.
The art show that I was supposed to have several months ago never came to pass because well, I didn't have anything for a show. I was talking with my anger management

counselor and she said that it's best if I come up with series of works then try to show them. Truth is, until recently, I haven't had any desire to do any form of artwork - the desire just wasn't there. I'm working to change that - hell, I'm doing a lot now that I had no desire to do until recently. I was told that losing the desire to do what I enjoy is part of my depression - well no kidding! Tell me something I don't know. But I haven't been to see my shrink in oh I don't 5 months or so because he went to work with another organization and it takes forever to get in to see him now. I've remedied that as well - I have an intake appointment scheduled for the 22nd of this month, and once that is complete it will be about another month before I can get in to see him. The thing is, my schedule was upset when he went to work for the other organization and though I detest schedules, I also need them - make sense? I hope so lol - granted its late and I'm probably getting tired - total contradiction to saying I was wide awake lol. I haven't been able to fall asleep lately until around 4 or 5 in the morning.
So, that is basically what's been going on for the past week or so. I'm still up to no god and dealing with personal issues and all that stuff.
