I yelled at a ninja because I hate my family.

(Christy & David will know what that means...)

I am supposed to be doing check-ins for Freshman Orientation, but some of my staff have decided to just hang out...I guess they have nothing better to do...So I have hopped on the UC staff computer to share today's two cents' worth...Which means I am unboundingly grateful for the opportunity to be lazy while they smile and answer and help their little hearts out.

I am in a much better mood today, at least now, b/c I have decided to write a series of letters to my supervisors and co-workers describing what I consider to be their best and worst job-related qualities. Sometimes I can't seem to make them listen to what I'm trying to say, so perhaps if I draw them a figurative picture, my words and their meaning will finally sink in. I don't want to burn any bridges, but there are sooo many things I want to say to a few of them, and which I'm not sure how they will take. Better to give them my thoughts on paper as I am going on my way, to be read and discarded or placed in my employment file or kept for personal reasons, at will, as each person I am too disheartened to confront can do individually, as he or she chooses. *My only worry is that it will grow into my "Memo" (Jerry Maguire), my legacy left behind.

Orientation is going ot kick my ass, as it does every year. I hate that I will be leaving right after, at a time when I will feel all used up, exhausted from 2-1/2 straight weeks of work, with no real time off. I'll have to move my things home bone-tired but ready to be done with this place. Not that I haven't enjoyed most of my time here, but that it is beyond that point where it should have come to a close and I should be moving on. I'm ready to move on. There are friends here whom I will miss tremendously, every day, perhaps shed a tear or two over occasionally, and some people I will be grateful to be away from everyday (those people I will miss so much know precisely the ones I won't).
