Too many gaps....

So it has been a while since I updated this blog, almost a week. Thats a big gap. I have not been very diligent at doing a lot of things lately. I have been off my game the last couple weeks. I have several things going on in my mind and life, the most obvious has been work. I have done a couple more interviews and have another one tomorrow(I think). I do like MOST of the people I work with now except I feel it is a failing cause. I cant get any traction with getting things done there. I can't get people hired or things in place. The people there is key positions have ZERO experience yet they try and run the the place and give people that have been doing this for a long time direction. These people actually think they have a clue too. They are oblivious to their inexperience and bad decisions. On top of that they try top bully people into doing things.

I had enough and have had a couple melt downs with one person, and I struggle to keep trying to do my job. I feel it is so childish yet if I let her bully and boss and continue to make bad decisions, then i am not doing the project any good, but I see no one else stand to these people and when I question people why, they want to avoid conflict, which equals that person thinking they are in charge and their decisions are correct. Sigh.....I again struggle to accept this as a former functional manager, I think behaviors need to e corrected and people need to know their limitations and their responsibilities.

I like my job and the type of work I do, and I thrive on a challenge to be successful, but I am not seeing success. Its like walking in a mine field, There is a slim chance I will get out alive but not likely. I suppose once I get out of August, I will know what I will be doing, and will have a path forward for what I will be doing the next year. If I am still in Regina by 15 September, then I will stay there, no more job hunting. If some one calls I will entertain offers, but I need to focus and get on with it.

Oh well, I head home again and golf Thursday and Friday, so this should be a great end to the week, plus hanging with my buddies on the weekend will help me relax a bit and maybe focus on the path forward.

Congrats to Caryn and Derek and their new Baby boy Benjoshua!!
