Christmas Past-life Reading

Alan and I went ot a wonderful Christmas party last weekend. One part of it was past life readings. I think that he was quite good too.

First he said that I lived in the Netherlands around 800 AD. I left the area as a result of famine. I made tapestries. My struggle then was to choose to be a housewife or to choose creative pursuits...isn't that a riot! Apparently someone will be coming into my life to guide me in the next year...let's hope he come soon!

Life is a Real Bitch Sometimes

Whoever said the glass ceiling has advanced a few floors is full of it!

Let me explain. With all my experience and skills...which I still believe are many, I was asked to head up the United Way Campaign. I liken this lead role to be the head of the queens tea party: it is all women...running bakesales...dressing up in costumes and raffling turkeys and selling junk, every which where ...while the male managers sit back saying "good job ladies". So, I refused the role. I did not want the pigeon-hole of- Charity Cheerleader...which I am not. Lord knows they would come knowcking again next year.

Today we received the results of the Senior Offer job...the top three- guys, that last three ladies. It says a lot that #3 on the list even said he didn't understand how he could have beat me...whatever...no one ever said life was fair...adn this just proves it.

So, being a real bitch may pay off afterall - Not sure...but I am willing to try now.
