The other day, I was walking Bo and I remembered I had this web page. I have allowed so many things in my life to take over and run it. I feel ashamed, but sometimes, we all end up down some rabbit hole or another.
Not really sure where I want to go with this web site. Just give me some time, I am sure I will think of something. I will say, life has been turned upside down and thrown about quite a bit since my last post.
I hate to say I changed jobs, but I did end up changing employers and not by my own choice. Seems like my former employer wanted to keep me, but wanted someone else to pay. Happened to about 3,000 of my co-workers at the end of 2019. I was angry, but now, I am just sad to know how little I was valued after so many years of service. I realize - I am not alone. There are many of us that feel the same way.
I had high hopes that my work life would improve and opportunities would be available for me to grow. It has been 6 months and it is nothing as I had hoped. In fact, it is worse. The disappointment consumed me. Everything came crashing down and I went into a downward spiral emotionally.
Next to hit was the COVID19 pandemic and self-quarantine. To be honest, the only thing that has really bothered me about that is my allergies. This year, allergies got the better of me.
Currently, the world is in a huge uproar and rightly so. Everyone should be treated equally and humanely, no matter what. I understand I have no idea how many people of color are treated and I am working on learning more. My worry is that there are those clouding up the protest points with looting and damaging property. At the same time, I want people to realize that we must address the issues and not let it all blow over. Otherwise, this situation will continue to in its vicious cycle. It was only 5 or 6 years ago when two men were killed and similar protests and such took place. Again, time after time before these incidents. Seems that we are all crazy for letting it happen over and over with no change.
It is time to make a change.
