December 8th will be the one year mark at my 'new' job and in the last 326 days there have been a lot of highs and lows at work. It seems like the last month or so has been favouring the 'lows' but there are some big changes coming down the pipe and the scales are slowly tipping back to restore balance. Company wide, great things are on the horizon and it blows my mind to hear about the new technology and security measures we are working with. In my department we have been contending with some of our own personality clashes, but Merv the Magnificent worked his magic and I really believe things are going to improve. Overall I'm anxious too see what the new year brings and I'm eager to be a part of that change, regardless of what it is.
People wise, there have been some interesting and/or complicated moments as of late. Just when I thought I had the opposite sex somewhat figured out, I have a few conversations that remind me I'm way off base. Everything would be so much easier if people had more in-person communications instead of relying on email/text/MSN/Facebook discussions that leave way too much to be misinterpreted. Why are we so afraid to speak face-to-face and let our guard down? I get that rejection sucks, but it sure beats ambiguity and uncertainty. Maybe if I learn to read minds everything will make sense.
On the home front, we got a new kitchen - I'm talking sexy granite countertops. a sleek sink, and all new appliances (including a gas stove!!!!). It just makes me want to bust out my mixer and make pastry dough all afternoon long. Everything will be in place before the end of the month, but thanks to my wonky elbow I won't be having my Christmas party until January. So close, yet so far, I know.
And that's it really. Happy weekend peeps :)

you're right about communications. people should still write love letters and talk on the phone.
