Y2K Survivor

OK my cut and paste function on my computer is as screwed up as my keyboard.  For months I have complained that my keyboard (bought at a 3rd rate discount store of closeouts and recall items) has a faulty left hand side, mostly I lose lower case Es, sometimes the shift key refuses to lower and lately I notice more and more left hand keys never show up on screen.  This is especially bad since I have no freakin clue how to type and therefore I DO NOT look at the screen.  I look at the keyboard where my fingers are aiming.  Yes at the tender age of 45, making my living mostly by typing... I am still a hunt and pecker.  I am a fast hunt and pecker... but a hunt and pecker none the less.

End result, after I just wrote a soulful and deeply touching piece about on-the-job burnout evidenced by a lack of Christmas Spirit or lack of Christmas joy and interpreting it to mean it might be time to make some significant changes in life.  The job that I said I would always be willing to go back into a classroom to teach is opening up soon and a lady on the school board has kind of pushed me towards it. 

It would be a good time to make a change.  I wonder if it would replace the lack of Christmas joy?  Where I should feel joy and excitement, even love and gratitude, I feel stress and a future of more stress.  While I am pretty good at dealing with that stress for a time... after a solid year of living in the pressure cooker and feeling worse for the wear... It's time for a change. 

Maybe I'll move to the Yukon and take up lumber jacking, mining and making toys for good boys and girls.  Yup next time you hear from me I might be known as Pierrequest
