I do not watch televised awards shows. They have never interested me, though I sometimes have been pleased to learn the outcome. I was pleased, today, to learn that the Dixie Chicks had run away with lots of awards at the Grammys. I have always liked their music. Their political position on George Bush sent me over the top, making me want to donate to their legal defense fund, should they have been incarcerated for their 'deeply anti-American' comments.
On Saturday, I responded to being tagged for a MEME and used my response to tag others. The response, to date, has been less than overwhelming. In case you didn't see it, you were probably tagged...you can read it here.
My Australian employee tendered her resignation today, a ruinous way to start the week. She and her fiance are heading back home, having had quite enough of the USA. (Actually, they love it, but they have had some family issues recently that make the call home more imperative.) With her pending departure, we're now looking for 3 new employees. Since our entire staff, me included, is only seven, an impending 3-person turnover is horrible. I'm damn near conceding defeat, seeking a job elsewhere, and living a more abundant life that gives me more time of my own. If you know any strong administrative types who want to live in Dallas, send them my way.
I'm weary, again, and need to rest. I need to be back at the office by 6 tomorrow morning. This has to stop. There has to be an endpoint.

Well, that news isn't good. Sounds like you people are busy enough as it is. I hope you'll be able to find someone suitable to replace those who are leaving. Over the past few years, my husband has (almost constantly) had to deal being understaffed and unable to find *any* employees with the skills needed to fill positions. I have the similar job skills, so have filled in while employees are on sick leave or when there's nobody left and he's working alone. Such human resources problems make it difficult to do business. I guess the worst of it is that you end up working so much that you don't even have time to stub your toe.
As for the meme - it'll be coming up pretty soon! (-:
