Sucking the energy out of life…

Work has really been sucking lately, but I don’t really want to go into it much here. I will say that I have been working crazy hours. It started back in June when my boss was let go, for cost cutting reasons. He had only held that position since the middle of February. His duties became my duties, but it was only a temporary thing. Within weeks an outside company was to be taking over his duties.

Here it is two months later, and I am still doing double duty, while that outside company juggles** around how they are going to handle this new position. (**who’s going to do it, when are they going to actually start…etc.)

This has really turned into an emotional roller coaster for me. I have worked full-time for this employer for over 16 years in many capacities. This has got to be the only time that I have been given a task to do (not once, but twice in the past year) and the final position was given to someone else.

So my brain tries to process this as… I’m good enough to fill in, but I’m not good enough to be the fulltime person. I’m trying to keep the negative thoughts at bay… but I am really struggling.

So much for not going into it much here…

Well, this has pretty much been the reason for the scarcity of posts here. But I am still taking pictures, how could I not? Especially since I have a new camera… yay!

I leave you with… Hunter in a tree. Isn’t that the greatest smile?

Hey, can you tell me if this shot looks dark to you? My monitor at home is calibrated, but it definitely looks dark to me at work. And honestly, a lot of my shots look too light at home. I’m probably going to have to tweak my laptop settings… it’s a new laptop… but that’s a whole different post.

Hopefully I won’t be gone so long next time.
