Thinking is not a requirement, but it better than this.

Stop me if you heard this one before.

I need stimulating conversation at work. Now that Betty is gone and has moved on to better things I am stuck trying to have conversation with my current coworker who rarely listen to what I am saying or just give me a blank stare.

Here is an example:

Me: Hey coworker, what do you think of purpose of philosophy could be?

Coworker: silence

The way our office is situated she sits behind me. So I turn around to make sure she heard me and she is reading her facebook page.

Me: Hey!

Coworker: Uh! What did you say?

Me: Philosophy……..what do you think about it?

Coworker: What?

Me: Ya know the study of general problems like existence, knowledge, values and such.

Coworker: turns and looks at me with a blank expression. “What?”

I turn back to my desk “never mind”.

Coworker: “No really I am listening what about it now.”

I start talking but not about anything in particular just rattling something that has very little to do with the question raise. Quite simply put I am not a great debater. I just felt the need to talk about something more cerebral. After a while I realize I have not gotten a single response from her and I turn to see her reading her face book page again.

I think I will buy a book.

Life in a Scheduling Room

It has been some time since I felt it necessary to say anything about my job. However this is something that i need to address at this time. My work associates range in ages and this diversity helps our department funtion in an ackward yet somewhat effective way. One coworker who is very verbal about everything that goes wrong. You know when she is not well because she is quiet and there are times when she is very focus on what she is doing and if that concentration is broken so is her silence. For the most part this does not bother me except when she takes me out of my zone and then my work rhythm is interrupted. I am sure i am guilty of doing the same to her i think everyone does. Then there is next coworker a beautiful young lady that gives the impression of being younger than she actually is and so I have a tendency to feel like need to protect her. That is something I had to stop doing it was not needed and i hope I did not offend her. Her method working is not as pr…

I need Therapy

It's important to take time for yourself and I am one for telling others to do that for themselves but often i do not do this for myself. I find that I am surrounded by people who need me to do things for them. Nothing major things that they can do themselves but it is easier to get someone else to do it and i am that someone else. Gail do this, gail do that. Good grief!
There are times when I feel like I am just living my life. Just making it day after day, one day blends into the next one. Don't really see accomplishments, advancements, forward movements. As a result i an feel a bit lost and out of sorts. I feel the need for therapy. I have a bujo and in it i have schedule and routine for everyone and thing with the exception of me. I discovered this when i took a moment to review the schedules and routines to figure out why i was not getting any sewing projects completed, no practice time for watercolors and the crocheting and needlework was sitting in a corner.…

Sew Perfect 4 Every Body Goals vs Dreams A conversation over Tea Hello , If you read this blog at all you know it has been almost a year since I have posted anything.
Like so many things with me a lot of unfinished objects...projects...business. I keep putting off the things in my life that I love . I thought that i was trying hard to stop the trait but I
come to realize that is not so. I am my biggest obstacle. What is really bad is when I get the courage to
share something that i really want to do if that person makes the slightest discouraging comment,
I am like what am i thinking. WHY DO I DO THAT! I am not really sure why that is. Recently my husband had a problem with is knee it was swollen and painful.
We go to the urgent care and then to the Emergency room next thing I know he is admitted to the hospital
and needs surgery to clean out an septic infection. He would need to be 6 weeks off work.
He was top on my mind of course but the bills were like a animal crouching to …
