Since September 2021 I have been struggling to manage anger.  My anger management trouble was triggered on August 30^th when the rules changed at work.  My 4-person team was awarded the opportunity to handle a new category of complaint for the entire center.  This gave us ownership of the type of issue that is un-resolvable and leaves a customer frustrated and proficient in their ability to express rage.

I understand why the company made the decision to change process and that is because we are the best of the best 😊  but that doesn’t make it any easier.  It has been an exhausting effort.

Due to fried brain syndrome, after I log off in the afternoon, typically I will have a seat on the sofa and fall asleep.

But today management announced another change.  It went something like this:

After data review and much consideration we have decided to pause the *** cases starting close of business today. I will be sending out the notification to others shortly. This means that starting tomorrow we will not accept *** submissions at this time until further review and possible revamp.  The reason… process as it stands is not the initial intention and has slightly morphed leaving you all overwhelmed.

I couldn’t have described “the process as it stands” more beautifully if I tried.

Happy Friday!

I do actually have some favorites for today.  They go back a few weeks, but thats because I have some catching up to do!

Christmas 2021

5 days before Christmas and I am DONE!  [This is a positive not a negative].

I have the house decorated and gifts wrapped.

LB has erected his new GRINCH in the front yard.  I’ve engaged in some crafting of Christmas goodies: Almond Roca, Dark chocolate fudge, Magic cookie bars, and of course, Christmas cookies!  The girls will be over later this week to make divinity.

LB and I have celebrated the SEASON by attending a Christmas event at Promiseland Baptist Church, attending a showing of  Bruce Allen Scudder’s “Christmas Carol” at the Alhambraand spending an evening with the Family decorating Christmas cookies and gingerbread houses.

And that is as far as I got.

I began this Christmas 2021 blog post, but never got around to finishing…   one of 43 unfinished in my Prettyis drafts folder.

A Clean Bill of Health

Which came with a $500+ medical bill.

It was just a tiny procedure, but I had never experienced it and did not like the sound of it, or the reason it was necessary.  I waited for the appointment from mid-November until a few days after Christmas.  It was a nerve-racking few weeks.

Fortunately all is well.  Good health is truly a blessing.

New Year Mini Vacay

I was one of the lucky few who were able to be off New Years Eve.  LB and I left home and headed for Jekyll Island (one of LB’s favorite places).  We stayed in a new hotel and attended an event at the Jekyll Island Club Resort.  There was a band and many people took to the dance floor (not me).  There was A LOT of food and quite a few guests.  I didn’t make it to midnight; We went back to the hotel and watched Andy Cohen’s excellent rant to bring in the new year.  It was great.  I’d love to link it, but I can’t find a good recording.  Also I don’t want to promote liberals.

I do, however, want to promote conservatives.

This is what our favorite President said today on Telegram:

A Message from Donald J. Trump

What we witnessed yesterday was the last gasps of a corrupt and discredited left-wing political and media establishment that has, for decades, driven our country into the ground—shipping away our jobs, surrendering our strength, sacrificing our sovereignty, attacking our history and values, and trying to turn America into a country that our people can barely recognize.

These radical leftists in Washington care NOTHING for American Democracy. All they care about is control over you, and wealth and riches for themselves.

But they are failing. No one believes them anymore. And the day is quicky coming when they will be overwhelmingly voted out of power.

Joe Biden’s voice is now the voice of desperation and despair.

His handlers gave him that speech to read yesterday because they know the unprecedented failures of his presidency and the left-wing extremism of the Pelosi-Schumer Congress have destroyed the Democrat Party.

Part of their panic is motivated by the realization that, just like the Russia Collusion Hoax, they cannot sustain the preposterous fabrications about January 6 much longer. The truth is coming out.

But for them, the worst part of it all is the knowledge that the American People are seeing right through their phony media event—which despicably compared a Pelosi-led security failure at the Capitol to the darkest days in American history and the deaths of 3,000 Americans.

The people see right through that sham. They see a cynical politician who ran for office promising unity who is now doing the most divisive thing possible—slandering his political opponents as domestic terrorists, just like insecure dictators do in communist countries.

The American People also see that January 6 has become the Democrats’ excuse and pretext for the most chilling assault on the civil liberties of American citizens in generations. It is being used to justify outrageous attacks on free speech, widespread censorship, de-platforming, calls for increased domestic surveillance, appalling abuse of political prisoners, labeling opponents of COVID lockdowns and mandates as national security threats, and even ordering the FBI to target parents who object to the radical indoctrination of their children in school. And this week, January 6 is also the Democrats’ excuse for trying to pass a radical Federal takeover of state election law. They are trying to BAN voter ID and other basic measures that can ensure the sacred integrity of the vote.

The reason the Democrats are doing all of this is not because they believe they will win a fair and honest election. It’s because they know they will overwhelmingly LOSE one.

Remember, I am not the one trying to undermine American Democracy—I am the one trying to SAVE American Democracy.

Today, I am more confident than ever in the strength and common sense of the American People. They are counting the days until we will no longer have to be constantly lectured, lied to, and dictated to by corrupt politicians and their media partners. When we will no longer have to put up with this broken establishment’s hoaxes and its manufactured media narratives—And as Biden and his radical handlers know, that day is coming fast. Because in the months and years ahead, the American People are going to speak up, take action, and VOTE in massive numbers, and we are going to TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY.

From the very beginning, all that Americans have wanted is great jobs, safe neighborhoods, strong borders, good schools, a proud nation, and a government that LISTENS to the American People. That is what our movement has always been about—and that is what we are focused on to this day.

Joe Biden and the Radical Democrats have failed on every front. But do not lose hope. America WILL be Great Again.
