Quarter End and the Great Pumpkin



Quarter end is winding down, and I’m feeling a little overworked.  On top of my regular quarter end responsibilities I’ve also had to back a couple people up while they took some time off over the last few weeks.  By the end of last Friday I was ready to do a face plant into bed and not get up until Monday.  So, I made this weekend as relaxing and low key as possible, but still got out so I felt like I didn’t completely waste the weekend. 

On Saturday, I went to a pumpkin patch for the first time ever, and picked out my pumpkin.  I like pumpkins because I can keep them out through Thanksgiving.  It’s like they pull double duty so I feel less guilty for buying one since it’s more “economical.”  I was actually going to purchase two, one to carve and one to sit around look pretty, but I quickly figured out I could only carry one.  (Need to start building those arm muscles!)  So, I didn’t carve one this year.  After getting my pumpkin, I grabbed an apple cider slushy and headed home to watch Hocus Pocus and It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.  I swear, it never gets old.  I enjoy tradition and look forward to watching those same movies year after year.

Today it’s back to the grind.  I hope this week goes by fast!!

Why Do People Do What They Do?

Last week, I attended a client meeting with several of my co-workers.  During said meeting, one of my co-workers, and good friend, got up to get water for our guests from a mini fridge in a cabinet located in the meeting room.  But, she wasn't really quiet or discrete about it, and proceeded to slam the cabinet doors, while our guests were speaking. Maybe it's because I've lived in an apartment for too long, and the sound of my neighbors slamming their doors and kitchen cabinets has become a big pet peeve of mine.  But, to me, her actions seemed a little rude.  It got me wondering... why do people do some of the things they do? After doing some Googling, it seems like there are many reasons for why people slam things like doors, cabinets, and toilet seats.  Reasons range from anger, lack of awareness, laziness, selfishness, bad manners, and lack of consideration for others.  I immediately did some self-reflection.  While I'm pretty good about not...

Oh Lord

When I die, put my ashes in the trash bag I don't care where they go Don't waste your money on my gravestone I'm more concerned about my soul Everybody's gon' die Don't everybody live though Sometimes I look up to the sky And wonder do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here?
