Ok, so it's been a couple of weeks....already!!...since I posted my first entry on this blog. If I had the time, I could write a whole book about the circumstances of a most unusual job that I took as a personal assistant. Who could have guessed from the simple job posting description on Craigslist that I would find myself in the middle of an unbelievable situation with a woman who I believe is mildly insane! Although I do plan to post the outcome of the whole sorted story someday, it will not be today. But just to share a tiny bit of it, and boiling it down to simple, there is this lady I work for who fired her longest standing employee who, by the way, was quitting within 3 weeks of her termination. And now, she is trying to create a legal case against her that has turned into this monumentally ridiculous effort to prove thousands of little un-facts! She has had two of her best employees quit and is running the rest of us ragged. They will soon tire of her insanity and no one will be left. But even before all of this, the environment at its best, is bizarre! As often happens in my life, somehow I have become the person who will have to make it right...be the responsible one who is going to step forward and tell the truth. And THAT will be a most painful deed. But I know it's the right thing to do. I just hope that I figure out how to do it so that the innocent are protected, the guilty confess and the disturbed one can be helped.
But enough on that and on to happier thoughts:) Last week is thankfully over and this week has already proven to be a calmer and more productive one. I am learning a lot of new things at the "normal" job. And in just a week and a half, I have a command of the company's concept and am off and running to coordinate some fabulous collections of communities and venues that are needed for the company's growth! I learned how to work google maps and have mapped several of the areas on my own. Its a good day when you have learned something new! So here is something new for you to know. There is a community in central Florida...just south of Ocala...in which 80,000 people reside!! Can you believe it? One community with over 40,000 homes! It is a city in itself and completely self contained. There is a live feed from the Town Square and the Market Square within the community and you can watch what's happening anytime you want! Pretty high tech, huh? It's a little "Truman Show-ish" to me but seems like a really incredible place. Its something of a retirement community...you have to be 55 to live there. But it's a very active place with live concerts every single night of the year and hundreds of activities and shows. So now you know something new!
That's about all I have for today...I am still trying to catch up on sleep:) So before I go sink into bed and fall into slumber watching an episode of Will & Grace, I will leave you with this parting thought: There are a lot of stressful things that happen in life, especially in these hard economic times. But the good things and the beauty of the world around us not only overwhelmingly outnumber the bad and the ugly, the are free!
