I am busy. Staying very busy and focused. Not much to say anymore, right now. But all is really GREAT...so stay tuned.
Just a word, as I don't think this is a necessarly the place to share my political beliefs,but most of you know that I am a Democrat and support the Obama/Biden ticket. I am a Democrat through and through, and what I see happening on the other side of the ticket truly frightens me. How sad, the first woman I could actually vote for, for this high office. I can not. I have grown up in a different generation of women. One where we have had many wonderful opportunities that the generations of women before us didn't have. We could work, have a family...do it all if we chose. I love having Choice.
I have been in the workplace for 25 plus years and have seen many women move up the corporate ladder. But yes, the good old boys club always exisisted. I would sit in meeting as the only woman (mind you as a Manager) and be the one they would ask to plan the staff parties or deal with the unhappy salespeople in a more maternal way. That is who I was naturally, and I guess they saw that in me.
Now the company I work for is run by a woman and there are many good women in key managment roles, it will be interesting to see the difference in tone. Regardless, as much as I know that women, by nature, are great at multi-tasking, at taking care of business, at fighting harder then anyone else on the team, I still can not vote for Sarah Palin. We come from different places. I am nothing like her. Her view points are so to the right, and I veer so much more to the left. I can't compromise here, and nor will she. I won't get nasty. I am tired of that. I have berated her as I used to berate the really pretty girl who worked in our office. She batted her eyes, and on the outside looked like the perfect sales person. She said the right stuff. Made the boys feel really good about themselves...fought for what she believed in and at the end of the day, we fired her. She lied to us. Had us all fooled. She was nothing like she made herself out to be. I keep thinking of her everytime I look at Sarah Palin.

Great example...I couldn't agree more!
The other nite I had the epiphany that the reason she irks me so damned much is that she reminds me of my ex-husband...a slithery, slimy, lying con artist, who the minute you'd try and hold him accountable for anything would immediately turn into the put-upon victim ("how could you ask me that?...I'm so insulted/hurt that you would ask such a thing!...blah, blah, blah....). So Sarah, if you want to be elected to PUBLIC office, tell us why you tried to fire that librarian for refusing your unconstitutional demands of censorship; tell us why you say you never supported the Bridge to Nowhere, when you DID; and please explain using your gubernatorial powers to fire a guy for refusing to get sucked into your family squables.
And I won't even start on my aversion to electing someone to represent me who shows such clear disdain for anyone whose opinion differ from hers!
