Been pretty busy the last few months. Lots of changes. I am now going corporate, or as to what the fashionistas would like to call "business chic". Yup, they finally reigned in our impulses and introduced a "Dress Code". Oh well, I was ready for the change. Not to say that I didn't kick and scream for the fist couple of weeks before I finally gave in. But being me means I still wear my cut off jeans. But now I pair it with a nice blousy-girly thingy and substituted my flip-flops for lady-like sandals. I miss my PFLAG inspired-beach walk-platformed designed flip-flops. *Sigh*

Now, the change that I hate the most with the introduction of "dressing a step higher than the trainees" (That's the exact wording in the handbook mind you) is that I've noticed that whenever I handle a class now my trainees tend to call me "Miss". I feel like an exclusive all-girl high school teacher.

Another change is that they've finally promoted me. Yeah, truly. I went through a lot of shit and drama before it happened but it still happened early this year. Not that I'm doing anything different since we're ramping and I'm still handling new hire classes month after month after month. I'm just letting it ride and see what happens when I hit the 5th year. I'm sure I'll get the itch to shop around again.

So, election day have come and gone. I was sick so I had to be forever escorted everywhere yesterday and the freakin heat didn't help. I was with a couple of old friends and the conversation about the "who's who" in the electoral run this year made me sad... or angry... or sad. I dunno, my feelings were pretty much running on the hopeless side, but I still voted. Still felt that tug to do something even when I knew that I was just fighting a losing battle and that the choices I made were just for choosing the lesser evil. This is a f*cked up world we live in. But, we humans never lose hope so we go through the semblance of normality even knowing that it might be all for naught. But it's the "might" that keeps the fight in us. So, I hope you voted wisely. An for those of you who didn't... well you will truly deserve your leaders. 'Nuff said.

That's it for now. I know it's lukewarm but I'm sure I'm gonna be blogging again soon. I'm house/nephew-sitting until the end of the month for my sis and I have unlimited internet access. I'll try to maximize it to the point of abuse.

Ciao!
