More thoughts

Well, the sun finally decided to grace Minneapolis and St. Paul with its presence. It's been WAY too long. Hopefully that will encourage warm weather and more sun.

The fates are conspiring against me work-wise! I talked to a person on the doc review project I was on and he said he had started on a new project today. Yet earlier in the week, when I stated to the HR person that I wanted to be put on a new doc review project, she told me that none were starting. Someone wants to keep me on the trained monkey project. They let one of the team go today due to lack of available work. I'm very upset that I was retained and they let a single mom go. She has two kids to support.

At least it's Friday and we have a beautiful weekend ahead!

The sun is attempting to return!!

After WEEKS of gloomy weather, it looks like the sun is attempting to make an appearance over downtown Minneapolis. It's amazes me how the weather can effect my mood.

Work woes

Lack of blogging: I haven't blogged lately due to the review project I was on, I actually had work to do and it kept me busy. I'd like to be busy at work.

Work headaches: Ok, so I've been working at a job now for nearly 8 months that when I started the job I was told "it could last up to six months, or it could end tomorrow." Apparently now the job could go another year. If I'm here a year from now, I'll go clinically insane. The Twincities market is overrun by attorneys! I would like to say to whomever allowed St. Thomas to open a law school should be drug into the street in slow motion. 4 schools is entirely too many. The market is flooded.

Reality TV: On reality TV, society permits way too much of it. I must say that it's pretty cool that I know someone on a reality TV show. But, I for the most part believe they degrade human beings. I think it's an indication of how poor the market is when attorneys are joining reality TV shows.

Lack of sun: Minneapolis has seen no sun in almost two weeks. The gray and gloomy weather is depressing. I think even the ducks and other water-loving creatures are missing the sun. Sunny and warm would be nice.

Star Wars: I can't wait to see "Revenge of the Sith". Of course we're not taking the munchkin due to the violence and PG-13 rating. It'll be awesome to see how the story concludes and brings us to "A New Hope".
