The Invisible Woman Chronicles

 Ever tell someone something and they miss the point completely?  I get that a lot. I thought well, maybe I can cut down on my anxiety meds with the lurker gone.  If I said that to anyone jokingly, it would be do you need help? When I did speak up the last time about the lurker, the point of what I had to say was completely lost on this person.  The lurker was abandoning my tasks, closing them out and basically interfering.  I've already banged the warning drum on how this person is not trustworthy.  I said When does this end?  I said it's been a lot for me this past month being sick, my mom getting hospitalized over the Easter holiday and it's been chaotic for me personally.  I said can she just leave people alone and not harass them?  Life is hard enough. You know what I got in response?  You know, if you need family leave to take care of your mom, we have family leave. THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT!   My mom was reading a book as ...

I thought maybe I'd go take a drive to Bay View and do my walking there.  Less gas.  Well maybe not that much but I thought I'd walk down KK and see if I could find the library.  Funny thing. I keep my iPhone with me and you'd think that I would look up the address but not yesterday.  No, I was a long way from a leisurely walk to their library from where I was parked.  Long way. I realized that as I went half way down KK when I didn't want to go under the bridge that was coming up.  I was already feeling annoyed by some of the businesses and some of the hipsters I saw.  I don't get it.  I lived there for almost 20 years and KK was always a little run down.  Not horrible but kind of shabby looking buildings.  Now it's the happening place to be.  I don't get it.  I thought about a business that had crochet classes and when I saw the business I kept walking. I think I'd rather take a class at Michael's if they have one. ...

I'll say it for the millionth time.  Social media makes us stupid at times.  Great for finding out what's going on with family if they don't live nearby.  Doing it everyday can be depressing.  My sister told me she deleted Instagram recently. I don't really follow anyone I know personally other than Corinne and it's a lot different than Facebook for me. I just don't do much with Facebook.  Haven't for years.   I liked Threads but I have found myself asking a question online about local things and get no response.  I get blasted if I show support for Jasmine Crockett.  I had kind of thought maybe this was a community.  There was a lot of people like me.  Alone.  Older.  Didn't really know what to do with themselves as far as social activities. I asked one question about are there things to do in the Milwaukee area where I could meet others?  Silence.  That sucked.  I wasn't overly upset.  Just hoping I c...

Well it's only me who reads this, but I'm back with my observations about life as an invisible person after a week off.  I feel like it's been a year, but what a week. I ended my month by finding out that there has been team shifting.  I kind of took it as a good thing.  I was sort of taken aback when they mentioned that a couple of managers will be basically let go.  More on that later.  There will be a new set of eyes looking at what we do and how we interact with each other.  There will also be three additional people who have more years of experience than I do and I am grateful for that.   I knew how things would go.  The lurker and Regina would try to dominate the others and make themselves out to be perfect.  Well that got shot to hell when I saw an email that improved my life greatly.  The lurker was gone and from the tone of it, it wasn't something she decided. I know there's still people who make me crazy like Regina and th...

 Here we are at Thursday.  Oh well.  I'll make the best out of it. Yesterday, I felt wracked with anxiety over something I was working on and kept checking to see if it got accepted. It was still pending. I will lose my ever loving mind if I get another rejection.  This is a new area for me and I'm not really sure if I'm doing well at it.  The person that put this work out?  I don't know if she'll be pissed off if it gets rejected.  I've had a couple of incidents that got questioned and maybe she wasn't mad but in this new world, I just assume everyone is annoyed with me.  That's how anxiety works in this brain. I was annoyed too about the diva complaining about her training.  I spent so much time and have still offered my time.  She wants everything written down for her step by step and wants her hand held.  Just spoiled. Frack had reached out to me and asked if I would be able to help their group out while Frick was out.  Her...

 Well the DMV turned out to be easy.  My mom got to keep her old license.  Well it won't expire until next week but I thought after we left, maybe it's a good thing to have ID like that.  The clerk at the DMV asked about Real IDs and she said she wouldn't be traveling.  We talked about maybe we need one if there's voting issues come November.  It was good information.  Things went better. I didn't get my dental impressions for my upper teeth done correctly.  Damn.  They will send me two more packets of puddy to use and after that, they will issue me a refund. I was so disappointed I didn't get it right on the second try. I looked at other companies to see what they would charge and if their ratings were good.  There are other choices. I just really want this to work the next time I get a packet in the mail.  I was hoping I would have been able to drop it off in the mail yesterday but that wasn't the case. I thought my head was going...
