Ahhhh-Ruba
I liked Aruba, it was different from other islands I have visited. It was dry and windy, not hot and humid (that I can get at home). We were very successful in the casinos as well, made for a profitable vacation as well.
Got back to work and wham, bam the fun began......
Still no word if my exit strategy can be implemented. Still the issue of my job grade (so what if I am over-qualified, I need a little less "thought" in my day).
Did a fun thing I found at CGC site, a map of where you have been, it was fun

vacation from my vacation
- I am stressed to leave the young-ins home with my parents (they stress each other out)
- I am stressed to leave work again in the middle of pure hell-dum
- I am stressed that I will forget something
- I am stressed that my daughter has to fly to Atlanta with the volleyball team while I am gone and I won't be there to send her off or be in Atlanta with her
- I am stressed that I still have this horrible job.
I was talking with my new manager about how I was stressing. She too confided in me that she was almost at her breaking point, in fact the whole organization was about to bust.
Our she-devil leader is good for a short term gig, but she has outstayed her usefulness, she needs to move on to another organization and stir them up.
It is always good to be challenged in one's career, move outside your comfort zone, be pushed to grow, I don't disagree with that. However, one can only be pushed for so long, and stretched so far. Even a rubber band will break if pushed beyond its limits.
And that's where we all are, beyond our limits. This group of 200 plus folks has become the crankiest, meanest bunch around. Folks that would never say boo to you are now ripping your head off if you look at them the wrong way.
I really need to get this new position, or seek employment else where or I am gonna snap....... First step is not to stress on this vacation (think happy thoughts :-)

The Disney Daze
If I EVER have to sit through its a small world again, I WILL do something drastic.
WHY does that ride still exist, please tell me??? My 10 year old said it the best "this is a ride that NEVER ends" or "look, my favorite part, the END".
If my 10 year old (the youngest) thought it was dumb then why were we riding it? Because the "grown up" 18 year old whined the loudest and got us all goaded into going on it. I was made to feel like Grumpy for not wanting to fully enjoy the Disney experience. NEVER AGAIN I SAY!!
Note to 18 yr old: Time to grow up and you can never re-live the past (never as much fun as you remember it)
I need a vacation from my vacation.
