Rain, rain, rain…

June 3, 2007

It seems as if it will never stop raining long enough so that I can get the lawn mowed.  The backyard is so wet that I finally took the trimmer and cut the grass down.  I sank right away, but at least I have the grass low enough that I don’t lose Andy in the grass.  The front and side yard seem dry enough to get the mower out, but we shall see.  I had hoped that I could get the work done on Thursday, but it was too wet.  Then it poured down on Friday.  BUCKETS full of rain….  Two days later it is still a mess.  I am getting ready to plant in the front with flowers, but wow….

 I want to build a sitting area in the flat area above the retaining wall.  It will mean that I have to build steps to the new patio, and the patio, but it will be fun.  I would like to add a water feature to the retaining wall one Chris moves the old swing set.  I am hoping that that is soon.  Either that or I will move to the other yard with my son’s help. 

 Work was laid back last week.  I categorized all of my projects and found that most of them are TRAC so they will move with me when I switch jobs.  I have told almost everyone, but my manager.  She has been so busy and so crabby lately that I am hoping four days off will help.  If I could take over the supervisory roles for the group and stay, I would be happy, but I am finding that my supervisior is just pissing me off at every step.  Of everyone in the group she does the least amount of work, is a horrid supervisior and spreads gossip at every step.  As I find myself buried under work along with two others, I am finding that her laziness and failure to help is just aggravating me at every turn.  In modeling meetings she just cannot catch up with the rest of us.  Can I say that I am so ready for vacation!
