too much technology

I don't know why I sign up for all these online things like Myspace, Facebook, blogger, and a website because I can rarely keep up with them. I would love to post pics and update regularly, but by the time I get home and all the craziness starts, I rarely turn on my computer to do anything. It's get the kids fed and watered, cleaned, have some playtime, read and it's off to bed. We go not too long after they do. Maybe I need to simplify somehow. Just a thought.

Trying out the templates

Hi. I've been playing with the templates to find the right look for my blog. I think I've hit on a pretty good one. I was trying to incorporate neutral colors. This one has that and a little punch. If you like it, let me know.

The Daily Grind

Sometimes I really hate the 8-5, M-F. Lately, I've been living for the weekends. My work has gotten so busy since my company decided to lay my supervisor off on Feb. 11. He's not going to be replaced since the company decided his position wasn't a necessary one. This leaves me, not quite 2 yrs at this company, me to do my work along with his work. I also get to be the one to clean up after him - old files, magazines, broken equipment he liked to keep for parts, etc.. It's ridiculous. Also, I didn't mention I'm in R&D and get all forms of samples under sun submitted for analysis. This is quite stressfull. I basically get to work at 8, have 30min for lunch, and work until 5. I try to keep to this. 1/2 hr for lunch means I work 8.5hrs a day. I guess overall it's only 2.5hrs extra per week, but no overtime, just time away from my family and more stress. I feel a little better.
