work drama getting me down

when I took this job I never thought I'd be worrying about getting fired or such and wonder at how people maneuver to get their way.  so the way to rise to the top it seems is to throw a fit, be loud and rude, file a complaint, a grievance, get other people to quit, harrass, bully.  Dave quits, I ask for a stipend to run the pools until a new manager is hired and am told that instead the supervision of the guards goes to a faculty and running the pools to a lifeguard?  huh?  wonder who that will be....take a long time to guess, well I'm as beat down as it gets. 

Mom and Dad come in Wednesday

almost fall semester

wow time goes by quick.  last day of summer term and getting ready for fall term, lots of chaos for sure next week at work!

finally getting rain, too little too late, garden not producing like it should this year.  cutworms got into the squash plants, too little rain for the beans.  basil is only thing thriving.

mom and dad coming in soon, aug 29 to sept. 8, I hope they have fun and stay healthy while they are here.
