My gawd is she ever cute....

stars

I sat outside a bit ago... beer in one hand, and looked up to the stars. Same stars I was staring at a week ago... tho the company isn't quite the same. If it weren't for the fact that the bugs were creeping me out, I would have sat outside a while just to watch the sky...
Next summer... next summer it will be different. I will be different. You'll see. Quote me.

the job from h-e double hockey sticks

I sit here at work loathing the fact that I am sitting here at work... does that make sense? I dislike my job THAT much.
What do I do, you ask, that I hate this much? I am a dispatcher for a company that services OTHER companies phone systems... by training, I am an IT person, but I took this job to get myself out of California and away from the toxins of my ex. I thought I'd like it. I THOUGHT it would be a low stress, easy, admin type job. BOY was I wrong. It's riddled with stress day in and day out... hell, if you ask me. I was going hard and heavy on finding a new job, but then I realized in the last few weeks, WHY BOTHER.... I really want to move to Oregon anyway... why bother with a huge job hunt here when i don't want to be here anyway...
Going to Oregon last weekend really re-confirmed to me that I really want to be in Oregon and not in Arizona. I love the green trees... the fresh air... the mountains... the sights and sounds. My FRIENDS. I had the best time there with everyone... it moved me a few times... to the point of tears... to be around my friends again. I really didn't realize just how much I missed them all. Good people, those dog folk ;-)
Now that Kate and I share littermates, I MUST be closer to see her more often... Same with Carolyn having Phoenix. I MUST be there to see them grow and show (if they take that route). 'Doney' will be old enough to show in December, but likely won't show until January at the SoCal specialty, if I'm still here in Arizona. Portland, if I'm in Oregon. (wishful thinking).
Now to find a job that will take me to Oregon. I'm still looking into that work from home option... we'll see if that turns out to be a fruitful venture.... think good thoughts.

back on the blogger....

My last (and most loved and used) blog was deleted when my ex-fiance's girlfriend at the time (now wife) found my blog and harrassed him about the fact that he was still having 'affairs' with me.... really didn't need any of that jazz, so I continued my blogging privately, where no one could see. It's quite theraputic, you see, for me to blog.... I will likely keep anything 'super personal' privately held, but this will be for fun stuff...
Hoping to join the ranks of my blogger.com friends... Kate and Mandy :)
Puppy dog is doing well... she's past the sick phase of her transition, which is fabulous. I am giving serious consideration to getting a doggy door... thinking it might make potty training easier on me. She's doing well, but just when I think I'm safe, there's another present for me.
Tho she didn't wake me last night, which I appreciated greatly.
Thank doG it's Friday... I can't tell you how much I am looking forward to spending time with the dawgs this weekend... and I'm thinking it might be time to find Orion that forever home... as much as I love him, it's getting to be that time.
