This week was stressful.
So many reasons why. I will just mention a few...
Finally had a showing for the house, was supposed to have two but one never showed. I spent my entire day with the dogs on leashes or stinking up my car and the realtor didn't have the decency to call to tell me they weren't gonna make it. Jerk! I have been scared to leave the house, knowing that the minute I do I will get a phone call saying someone wants to show the house. Which means I have turn around, go home, get the dogs out and be gone again within an hour. Not an easy task, especially when you have run out of chocolate, or eggs, or chocolate eggs! hahaha
So that brings me to Easter...not a big deal in our household really. Don't get me wrong we love candy and think bunnies very are cute! But, we aren't what you'd call religious. Well, unless someone shouting a random "Jesus H Christ!" every now and then is now deemed religious behavior. Yeah, I doubted that too! Anyway, back to what I was gonna say...people will use just about anything as an excuse to get out of doing something and I find that very annoying! Lately though I find myself thinking how nice it would be to come up with some sort of lame excuse one day and just not do a darn thing that was expected of me. I can think of plenty of excuses, many could be validated easily, and yet I apparently lack the "loserific lame excuse gene"... rendering me incapable of partaking in the occasional ditch day. I still have this idea that I have to lead by example, though it seems to go unnoticed more often than not lately. And I think that's sad, not only because the people I am speaking of have so much potential that they don't even seem to be aware of, but mostly because they are grown adults that apparently aren't interested in bettering themselves.
And lastly, I struggled this week with unmotivated, passive, incompetent people. They always annoy me and mostly likely always will, but it makes it awesomely aggravating to know that these are the people that are supposed to be taking over my "jobs" when I move. And to top it off, I don't know when that will be. So passing off my jobs and providing training is increasingly difficult because we just don't know how long I will be available. The lack of urgency on others parts, even though I mention on a daily basis that I am not going to be here for much longer, is seriously disturbing. I have made every effort to get people to step-up to the plate now rather than waiting but it just doesn't seem to be working. I would hate to see things falter upon my departure because of a lack of effort to ensure a smooth transition. I am aware that my system may not be ideal for whoever is going to takeover, however, it is a system that is easy to follow, extremely organized, easy to adapt, and most importantly -WORKS!
All I can do now is continue to try and hope that someone has a "light bulb moment" soon!
