BLEGH. I also find that some people are not as affected by the people around them- perhaps we are sensitive people :)<br /><br />FINALLY, a little late, here are the symptoms we're supposed to check for each morning before work. Just got another update on the 'swine' for the province- woo. Work recommends that if we have any 'new' of these symptoms that we stay away for 7 full days.<br /><br />• A new cough or fever plus one or more of the following:<br />o Chills<br />o Joint/muscle pain<br />o Extreme fatigue<br />o Sore throat<br />o Headache<br /><br />so just one of those doesn't cut it- you need a new cough or fever PLUS one of the others. Pretty vague stuff, but at least it's something :)Eco Yoginihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10693080137196812405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136965487706276120.post-38246298095678000892009-08-04T09:05:03.271+01:002009-08-04T09:05:03.271+01:00I don't work, well not outside the home & ...I don't work, well not outside the home & garden.. but I totally 100% believe the rat race is phony...unconnected is a better word for it.<br /><br />I guess we are all products of our own generations in music taste, although as I get older I am listening to varied music depending on my mood.. just today it was French cafe music while I created a meal!Miss Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15144002124919728056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136965487706276120.post-41844781878014331772009-08-04T06:08:43.918+01:002009-08-04T06:08:43.918+01:00I have just finished reading Garden Spells and Sug...I have just finished reading Garden Spells and Sugar Queen and really enjoyed them. Both of them being about women who were living solitary lives and Josey living in her closet. I thoroughly enjoyed the magical parts. I look forward to her next book.<br /><br />I believe the extra weight we carry is just another version of the Josey's cupboard in the closet. I totally understand what you said, my daughter has spent her whole life with this struggle and seems to have finally found her way out. I wish for you and I the same success.<br /><br />Have you read the Outlander series? Dragonfly in Amber and The Feiry Cross are two others in the series. I read them all except the last one because it wasn't as interesting when they moved from Scotland to America. If you haven't read them, I think you might enjoy them. <br /><br />I have printed out you story so I can sit and enjoy reading it. I am looking forward to it.Leonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12508055212017916057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136965487706276120.post-16053794975337124912009-08-04T00:11:54.064+01:002009-08-04T00:11:54.064+01:00Some interesting thoughts.

Sometimes we don't have a lot of choices about which sub-society we are in, like you say at work. I find this in the apartment I live in. It is a seniors apartment building. Except for the odd person who works part time we are all retired and so have a lot of time on our hands - some more than others. It is an opportunity to develop a sense of community and we have attempted this a few times, the newsletter and resurrection of the social club and yard sales for social club funds. However, there is an element in the building that constantly creates trouble, just like in work situations. There is vicious gossip, backstabbing and attempts at sabotage (like stealing all the left-over yard sale stuff). It has become so clear to me lately, I have always known it at some level, that no matter where you are in groups of people you will have this dynamic. It is also true that the attitudes of managment trickle down. We have had three managers since I have been here but the attitudes come from the owners of the building. An "I don't care about you" attitude. The owners before I came here were completely different and people got along much better. One of the art stores I shop in has the nicest most helpful staff and it is a joy to shop there, I mentioned it to a staff person one day and she said it's because of our manager. There is another branch of that same store that I don't like going to because the staff are unhelpful and miserable. Wouldn't it be nice if everyone made the effort to make the workplace more pleasant and even better if managers created a supportive, pleasant atmosphere to work in, treating workers with respect and rewarding them for work well done.Leonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12508055212017916057noreply@blogger.com
