This blogger host is a bane. Thus far I have tried three times to write about NZ part two, but this silly blogger website seems not to like the picture uploading. Boo! It's not for lack of love that I didn't post yesterday--well, perhaps it was, though not a lack of love for the writing but rather a complete detestation of the picture uploading function. It coughs and hiccups and utterly refuses to work. Another try will be made, and we'll see if it will agree. At least a little bit. Other than that, just trying to stop crying at work these days. Does anyone else have a boss that treats them like a petulant child and tries with all their might to avoid looking over your work? Mostly because they're not in the mood? Because they're just too busy and you're not a priority? (Your work never is...) Well this has brought me to tears for the past few days, despite the fact that one of my co-workers brought me a brownie to make me feel better for yesterday...then we had some work-talk, which for quite a while now comes across as very jaded. She said she didn't like my frustration and as she walked away from my desk the tears spilled forth yet again. Grrr. At least no one saw it that time. Anyway, work isn't great. I'm still thinking about the cafe and will be working there on Sunday morning. But chances are good it won't make me any happier. It's probably an internal problem, where I shouldn't allow others to affect my happiness levels. Anyway, processing away as usual.

It gives great context on the moral values that used to exist in business and how those morals have quickly dissolved. It also talks about chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate. How could I not love it?) How to Practice: The Way to a Meaningful Life by the Dalai Lama The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo ,by Stieg Larsson (Really sick of reading about horrific rape and murders...I will not continue with this series) Pen/O. Henry Prize Stories 2010 --this was one of the best and most enjoyable books I've read in a long time. My reading is quite scattergun, and my tendency is to jump between four to five books at a time. This book sat by my bedside for the past eight months, filling the gaps between ...
