today I feel like floating.

hello.
that last post had way too many comments, esp. considering the topic,
so I have to post something to move on. ;) not that i mind, in fact,
i enjoy all the posts. kudos to Karen and Jackson and Dwight- fellow
reliable commentors! (or: commentators, hmm?)
I was thinking about how living in Lexington this time around is
nothing like it used to be. I mean, I could be in some completely
foreign and new city, seeing as how everything is different. I don't
even go to the same places I went when I lived here before. The only
thing that remained the same from high school was my church. that's
about it. even it is different- not the same people, even the
building is getting an upgrade. it is pretty exciting.
today, job brought many stresses. there was this good stress back in
my days of technical theater, of having people- or an entire show-
depend in some or in large part on me. But this was a positive
stress. It wasn't the end of the world if everything wasn't smooth-
the show went on. But the rewards of getting things right were
immensely gratifying, to see others perform on stage and an entire
audience the glad recepient of the hard work paid off in being drawn
into the drama. But at my job it has been a different stress. The
payoff for me for getting something done for someone after they spent
20 minutes yelling at me and ordering me around - or so it feels- is
not gratifying. For me, and I would venture, neither for them. Sigh.
My co worker remarked to one person on the phone, 'you catch more
flies with honey than vinegar' - no kidding. unfortunately, people
don't always listen to such advice. sigh again.
but it's Thursday, so a good day. looking forward to floating on
home. .. ... ....
