I noticed a distinct difference in my disposition as the sunlight diminishes with the approach of winter......I become sneezy, then grumpy (the former being a medical condition brought on by allergies and the latter a personality quirk brought on by light deprivation) Maybe I'd be better off sleeping thru the winter a la Snow White????
I'm gearing up for the long trek to Ed and Gay's for Thanksgiving...If I didn't miss them so much, I'd stay here and cook a turkey for Julie...I have to get ready psychologically for the 9.5 hour drive....Maybe I'll trade my car in and drive back in a "new" one...
.I plan on giving my goodbye notice to work before I break for Thanksgiving...the AHA moment came as I was driving back to New Bern from Newport on a dark, winding, unmarked road and as I passed a prison in the middle of godknowswhere, my fuel light blinked its warning.....I had logged 58 miles on this trip (no mileage reimbursement) with a 45 minute journey each way (no pay for travel) and made $34 before taxes for the 4 hours I was gone....with a partial gas fill costing $32......good thing I had already bought catfood for the week! I've never been a superior math person, but that moment with the blinking light in the middle of a dark nowhere led me to question the accounting consequences of this part-time job....DUH! (see??? I told you I was grumpy!)
As we say in North Carolina, "Have a Blessed Day, Y'all........
