I took sign language to learn a new language...something new to do...something to keep my mind off being single...A family friend ask me why I decided to take ASL, I answered 'the same reason someone would take CPR...just in case.' I have unfortunately let some of my gifts slip away from me, playing piano, dance and public speaking. But yesterday, I was able to reclaim a small portion of them.

Book ends ROCK!
My supervisor told me something really insightful…she does that sometimes. But she gave me a new mantra in a matter of speaking, to put things in a better perspective. It goes a little like this- I’m still working on the syntax for flow- I am a bookend; the Boss Man is the other, and without one of us, things will likely tumble and fall. This has prevented me from shaking this individual for believing I have nothing else to do besides creating a name badge for an event happening in a couple hours…this person knew of this for a while and when I could scrounge up something, she turns her nose. I gladly informed her my source of this beautiful last minute project had left for the day. I wanted to continue and say ‘deal with it punk’…but I refrained.

Letter to ALL the Haters
Dear Hater of Stefanie 10.0,
Do not be mad because I am hotter than you on a 100degree day; fresher than you after bathing seven times in the Jordan River. Just stop trying to be better than me and be YOUR best; ‘cuz Sweetie, this isn’t even close to my best. If you’re attempting to do better than me, you must supersede to the product I have put out this passed as I admittedly confess I have been half-steppin’.
You do you this year and maybe you will earn the accolades you think you deserve. I’m taking it up a notch and I may make your head spin. It's a new day and it looks like you need to get it together.
Sincerely
Stef

Should I give up this dream?
It seems like I'm never going to graduate. I can barely get a fair chance. I think it is because no one else in my house has been in this situation, working on a degree further than an Associates degree. When you get to the upper level courses, you have to dedicate a different mindset, put aside more study time.The fact I can not succeed in one course is a bit ridiculous.
One may say, "well you have time to blog," but it's not the same. Blogging, for me is generally a bunch of run on sentences of whatever comes to my head, whereas studying and writing term papers require a bit more preparation. By the time I get ready to write a composition, I'm being harassed about being at the computer.
Also, my family plays the guilt card occasionally to get me to cut study time to spend it with the family. I don't get it...I truly do not understand.

Boooo...hisssss
I can't stand when someone feels the need to speak on my behalf. If I can not talk, I'll write it down; can't write, I'll mime it out. Just because you believe I am hindered by a situation and do not find me complaining, does not give you the right to rant on about something you would even dare to operate.

Small Thoughts
This is a letter sent to my supervisor... My supervisor understood where I was coming from...yet this hen can't catch a hint
I know you are busy, but I need to express this in writing so I would not internalize these feelings.
Not to say I am unappreciative of any help offered, I feel overshadowed by this particular person in her aiding in my scanning project. I have maintained a sort of rhythm and system enabling me to complete all that I have thus far, but I feel she has, in my way, over stepped her boundaries in helping. From the way she has marked the actual documents- when in instruction I asked her to mark/ make notation on the folder- to the amount she scans at one time.
As this may be just a minor matter, she has overshadowed my position causing few other minor internal disagreements. For example, when visitors come in the office, namely one of the last- John - I greeted them, offer them seating and refreshments (both refused), and proceeded to inform you of their arrival. But I suppose my greetings and salutations did not suffice as she continued, after I told her I had already done so, to greet and offer the gentlemen refreshments. She has also done this with other visitors and deliveries when I am already present, and have started addressing the given situation.
Also another little thing I simply do not understand, is when she is “straightening up the work room,” why does she gather all the items found on the round table instead of simply putting the items away as she goes along.
I know I am not your best, most consistent worker, but I just want to be able to do my job. This may be a bunch of random thoughts that really may not make sense, but as I said before, I had to get this out before these little pet peeves, causes an internal combustion.
