Goals for June 2011

While in the process of not watching TV for a week, I have realized that there are a lot of things I could do instead of watching TV.

June brings the hope of achieving more goals, hence the list below:

1. Finish Reading/listening to The Book of Mormon before July 1, 2011. I'm currently in Helaman Chapter 7. That is an average of 2.5 chapters each day. (So far today, I've already gotten 4 done! So now I'm about half way thru chapter 11!)

2. Bike 100 miles by July 1, 2011 This averages out to be 4 miles every day but Sundays. (This was my goal for last year.... ALL of last year!)

3. Mow the front and back lawn at least 1 time every 7 days.

4. Blog about something every day of June 2011!

While I would love to achieve these goals, I know things will fall into my path to deter me from them. Distractions, disgruntlement and disappointment always happen and they always will.

But I can try.

Today's QOTD (Quote of the day):

"Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it."

New Printer?!?!?!?!?

Can it be true? I'm getting a new printer at work?!?!?! I realize this might not be as exciting for you as it is for me. but what you must understand is that I have the oldest computer at work... by like 3 years or more (and in computer age, 3 years is a long time!) I've only been without a printer for like 3 days at work, but even when I did have a color printer, it didn't print on cardstock which ment I couldn't print the business cards, or the time cards. Now I can print color things at my desk that I would either have to have someone else print, or I would have to print them on the other side of the building, meaning I would have to go to the other side of the building, load the correct paper product in the printer, go back to my desk to hit the print button, back to the printer to collect the printed items, then back to my desk to do whatever I had planned on doing with it. (that is if I remember what I was going to do with it)

I am His. As I pulled into camp today, I was listening to some LDS Hymns. When I pulled my car by the lodge, these words were sung: Fear Not, I am with thee oh be not dismayed for I am thy God and will still give thee aid. I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand up heals by my righteous omnipotent hand.

Rough Day

I can't say it's entirely been rough... just the last 20 minutes. The rest of my weekend was great! (that's for a happier blog post later.) As I was on my way home from a birthday party, I realized tomorrow is Monday. I have to go back to work tomorrow. And I don't want to. Going along with that is I'm sick of my job and I'm sick of complaining about my job. I'm grateful for the ability I have to work and provide for myself. I really am. But this last year, it's been really rough. Between a new boss and new rules and procedures I just dont want to be there anymore. I really dont! I'm sick of disliking Sunday nights so much because I know what the next day will bring. Frustration, anxiety, loathing, genereal dislike, feeling underappreciated. I dont know how much more of this job I can take! I was so worked up about this on the way home that I was crying. Then when I walked in the door of my house, I was to the point of being angry. I practicly threw...
