Here I Go
Well, here I am. Jumping into the world of blogging. I am wondering if this is just going to be a cathartic endeavor on my part, that no one but me, and maybe a couple of curious friends will ever look at. I have to be honest - I really have no idea what I am doing, as I haven't read other blogs before. But I do like writing, and thought I would give this a whirl. Maybe I am better off having not read other blogs, so what I do here is totally just me.
I guess this blog will be primarily about the craziness I encounter being a single parent to a bipolar 17 year old boy, and how that effects (or is it affects?) the rest of my life. I guess if you are looking in from the outside, some of it is pretty amusing. I will work on some amusing reflections when it is not so late, and I am not so tired.
I am single, not just parenting without a partner, but also unattached. Although it is not as if I have not tried to become attached since my last break up. What is it about men these days? It seems I only meet ones who are hooked on their ex, or just looking for a friend with benefits. Ah well, I am sure that some of my experiences will make for good tales of woe to those of you who are in my shoes. More later on that subject.
Career-wise, I am unsatisfied. I do have a job, and for that I am glad. I just wish it were a job someplace else. I am sure many people out there feel the same - you work for a company and bust your ass to do a good job, and there is SOMEBODY up the chain of command who just does not appreaciate it, or who, for whatever reason, decides to single you out as the "bad guy". I have to say, I take pride in doing a good job, and do my fair share. Why is it that the people who spend all day texting or messing around on Facebook are overlooked by the powers that be? (unless overtime is offered, and of course they get the benefit of earning some extra dough) Yet those of us who do not take the 2 10 minute breaks per day, and who do not screw around on the Internet during work hours are scrutinized when sending a text to our bosses or when we are on a phone call with our kids' doctors? UGH!
I guess that is it for now. I am going to see what else I need to do to get this thing set up. If anyone out there actually reads this, please let me know what you think!
