It's Hump Day! YEAH!! This week can not be over soon enough.

There is so much going on in my mind right now--each thought overlaps the next one. I want someone to create a pill that I can use to just turn off my thoughts and then turn them back on again when needed. Wouldn't that be nice?

Indigo, thanks for researching the flower. I will be interested to see if your friend can identify it.

Edith, your cleaning spree made me tired just reading about it. Phew.
 
Not much news to report on my end. Just trying to keep it together. One of the ladies at work pointed out yesterday that this is likely an emotional time for me...filling my own position. I hadn't really thought about that part before. In fact I wasn't thinking that part was going to be hard. Moving on from a position that I love will be hard. But I want to find someone awesome to fill my shoes. Heck, I want to find someone with bigger shoes who can just take what I have done and improve, increase and take it to the next level. Maybe though at the back of my head--in that part that is always on thinking but never lets you know what it is thinking about--maybe that is weighing on my mind.
 
I'm finding it hard to concentrate. I have a couple of things I need to finish right now at work before I wrap things up. I'm hoping to get all the filing up to date before I leave and to have some notes or at least a few key post-its ready for the next person. I need to concentrate on studying but am finding it difficult. I think there is too much going on right now in my head and my life to be able to give it my all. I'm done work in 30 days. I don't have a job lined up yet. I have this exam to write. I need to study. I need to focus on finding a new job. I need to look at getting a few things finished at work. Augh. Deep breath.
 
I'm fine. It's just been an emotional week. Bi*chy Payroll Lady is gone. I walked her out the door yesterday. Yes, I am glad that her negativity is out of the office. I know the mood of staff certainly improved yesterday once they got over the shock. I just hate doing this kind of thing. She isn't going to have an easy time of it. I know that. But just because she isn't going to have an easy time out there in the big scary world of looking for a new job doesn't mean I should change or alter my decision. Imagine if we didn't let people go everytime they were going to have a hard time/or were going through a hard time. We'd need to hire double the staff in every office just to get the work done.  I guess this just means I still have a soul and a heart. That's good to know.
 
Check back in a day or two. I'm sure my mood will have improved. Perhaps I just need some perspective on things. And I guess it confirms that I should have escaped for the weekend after all. Oh well, I'm only 30 days from a long vacation break.
