When I decided to create a blog, I envisioned it being a great outlet where I would routinely share the stories of my life. So far I'm failing miserably. Either nothing has happened worth writing about, or the things that have happened are so juicy that they cannot be shared publicly...take your pick.
I have been asked to give an update on the shower situation. So far we have not installed showers of any type. We considered a shower trailer, but that would not be viewed favorably by the neighbors...or the City. We did, however, get the go-ahead to install real showers in the girls' bathroom...although still in the bathroom stalls. That has not happened yet, and the temporary solution was for the girls to shower in the convent during meals--1 at breakfast, 2 at lunch, and 2 at dinner. It was a bit unfortunate when we were away for a meal because the person who was supposed to shower at that time had to skip a day. Still, I'd say the temporary solution was much better than the alternatives previously mentioned.
Work is going pretty well for the most part. On most days I love my job, although there is the occasional day where I'm ready to quit on the spot. Fortunately, those days are becoming less frequent.
A little while ago I took a personality test for work. It is meant to be a tool for prospective volunteers, and we were trying it out to learn about it. I never actually had time to sit down and answer the questions, but instead I answered a few every now and then until the entire thing was complete. When we got our results back, I tried to be respectful of everyone else as they looked over their individual personality profiles. My boss, however, had no shame in looking over my shoulder to see what mine said. She was surprised to see that I scored high in the "anger/hostility" category. Now I don't see myself as an angry or hostile person, and I hope that those who know me wouldn't use either of those words to describe me either. Perhaps I responded to the questions in moments of anger/hostility/frustration. What the test was really saying though, is that when I feel those feelings, I feel them strongly. Just like it said that I feel every other feeling strongly. Despite my flight response to others' sharing of feelings to me, I scored the highest on "feelings" and "fantasy." Basically, I have my head in the clouds. Not that that's much better. Good thing I didn't take the test before I was hired!
More ridiculous situations are beginning to make their way into my life, so I have some things in mind to write about to redeem myself as a blogger. Stay tuned.
