An interesting quote

"When we are unable to find tranquility within ourselves, it is useless to seek it elsewhere."

~Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Let the sun shine, ohhhhhhh, let the sun shine in...

Cryptic posts, you've got to love them! I've had multiple people e-mail asking me what my last two posts are about, and my reply was that I wasn't ready to go into it. But, now I am!

Work has been stressing me out lately. Being in safety and health isn't easy people--nobody ever wants to listen to you, and they constantly want to prove you wrong, so you are always fighting to assure people that you really do know what you are talking about. Back in May I got assigned to a project with another of my coworkers, and without going into all the details (trust me, they would bore you), I will try to summarize what has been happening. We offered up our opinion of what was going on, but nobody wanted to believe us. Six months now we have been telling them what they need to do, but to no avail. There have been people doing everything in their power to disprove our theory, and in essence, discredit us. And it has sucked, to say the least.

Recently an outside company was brought in to give their opinion on the situation, and, unless I am mistaken, this is to be the final word on things--what they say, goes. AND THEY AGREED WITH US!!! Vindication baby! Yesterday reading their report, it felt like holding gold in my hands. We had a good feeling (aka: a glimmer of hope) that their report would agree with ours, but I couldn't help but doubt it right up until I saw it in black and white. With color photos. :) So, not stressing so much now--hopefully this will get things fixed quickly, and maybe, just maybe, people will give me a little more credit in the future!

On a more personal note, things have been going well--I'm happy with my life, so I can't really complain. I haven't seen my family in what seems like ages, and I am especially missing the kids like crazy. But, Thanksgiving is only a few weeks away, so I will get to have some time with them then. Hope all is well with all of you!!!

Forecast for the future...

...a glimmer of hope overcast by a shadow of doubt, but with a good chance of clearing in the near future...
