There were finally Nebraska storms today!! Two rounds!!
But during the first, I was buried deep in fitting rooms ... cleaning up after my female counterparts; which I am completely appalled to say I am of their same gender. I am so embarassed to think that grown women can leave a fitting room in the condition that they do. If I didn't know better and watch them enter and leave, I would have blamed it on the 12 to 16 year age group.
And during the second round of storms, I was at a second job as everyone around me started listening for "tornado" warnings.
I MISSED THEM! :(
But I did get home in time to sit on the deck and soak in some of a pretty lightning show! :) And the 98 degree temperatures of the last two days blew away!!! Yeah!! (It's too early for over 90 degrees!)
I'm having a difficult time "believing" in the integrity of employers this week. It has been since 1991 that I have held any kind of more than 15 hours a week job (other than seasonal) ... and I now have two. It seems to me that so many things have changed in 20 years ... in the "telling the truth" area. Do people really "promise" things just to attract an employee and not care at all to follow through on that promise? Is it okay nowadays for a supervisor to tell an employee over and over that something will happen because that employee would like to see it happen, and then never follow through on it, or let her superiors even know that it was talked about. Is lying to employees acceptable now? If so, why did I raise my children to respect their superviory parts and work hard for them? To trust what someone you work for, tells you. To believe that they have your back. To believe that they value you.
Do employers, anywhere, value their employees?
I'd really like to find one, so that I can work hard and care about what I am doing. So that I can wake in the morning and know that I am going to a place(s) where there is integrity and be proud of where I am heading.
Funny .... the only place that feels "safe" to me is in the middle of nature's raging storms which carry the possibility of tearing the physical world apart ... I'll take that chance over the raging storm games employers want to play, any day!!!
Dancing in the beautiful rain tonight!
About Me
- Terri Anderson O'Byrne
- A Scorpio, I am. Sign of water/sexuality. Emotion. Myers/Briggs personality test resulted INTF (Introvert, Intuition, Feeling, Perceiving) 100% accurate! Only 1% of the world pop. has this personality type; the other 99% has trouble relating to INTF's! I am extremely introverted, can handle noise/crowds for exactly 1 hour before retreating to the quiet or my music somewhere. Oddly enough, I am drawn to customer service. I know these things: I love who I am! I love emotion. I am vulnerable. I care deeply. I love. And I love deeply. I will wait it out for return. I long to be loved. My children are my world. Nature is my solace, my constant, my peace. I hear each bird's tweet, adore shapes in the clouds, share the moon with everyone I know, smile at the song of my windchimes, wonder at the growth of a flower, drive to chase sunsets, enjoy a great storm, relax fully when the ocean is outside my door. My favorite word is dance. Dance represents how I strive to live..to a beat that allows my body and soul to release in rhythm. I am over 50 now. Dance with me ... while there is still time!
