Something Interesting

I wish I had something interesting to write.  Unfortunately for me, lately it has just been the biggest bunch of non-sense I have ever seen since I started working when I was sixteen.  In the past, the owner's wives have caused the most grief, giving orders and telling you to do something that doesn't matter or won't help anyone at all.  This statement has nothing to do with them being women, it is related to their role in the business.  Based solely on my two experiences, the husband in each business was really the owner and manager of the operation.  Had either one of these been owned and managed by the wife, I would auto-assume that the husband would be doing the same thing as described previously. But hey, at least they own the business and in that right have the say as to what will be done around the place.

Entering a state government position at a university was ridiculously awesome at first.  The benefits were great (compared to none), the boss had her head screwed on straight, and most of the people were great to work with.  Good ideas from the boss was not something I was used to.  I actually was engaged in doing something that mattered, something with direction, heck something that was thought out and planned.  The end result was beneficial to me as a learning experience as well as the to client that needed help.

Fast forward to our previous director's retirement.  Upon her initial announcement, everyone was shocked.  She was still young and younger at heart, but she was on to bigger and better things.  She promised us all that our jobs were secure and there was nothing to worry about that she knew of....
