i have decided i will give this position one more academic year and then unless the work atmosphere and people change, i'm outta here. i realize that everyone is nervous and just about at the end of their patience. I realize the tension and stress is making some of us physically ill and emotionally vulnerable. i am so sick and tired of being second guessed, accused of things i haven't even thought of, and talked about behind my back i could spit. i will spit. i am very close to NOT liking anyone i work with.

i am very close to my last nerve. i have a notion to put a sign on my door. I can only deal with one hysterical person at a time. Get in line. But don't hold your breath, it may not be today.

i heard a sick joke on VOA today. Zimbabwe is in a bad way. This is the joke they have about themselves. Zimbabweans have the highest IQs in the world says one to another. Yes, i know replies the other. I que for bread, I que for milk, i que for petrol, i que for everything. i think that is funny. It is even funnier in that it translates funny.

i get to begin working on the next year's budget. That is an interesting project, since i don't know where for certain we will be next year. We are supposed to move to Jabriya in the fall, but no one seems to be sure of that. The latest news i've heard is that we won't get there until 2005. That isn't next year, that's 2 next years. Maybe we will have our new computers by then, but i doubt it.

There was a whole fleet of ships out on the Gulf today. But i couldn't see them, they are painted haze gray. So was the rest of the world. HA! i can make a joke too.
