These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.

Long, LONG Day
I'm frigging exhausted. It's not the work that has gotten to me. I enjoyed doing the work. It's the politics and procedures that wore me out. My boss brought a pair of freelancers in to help with the project we're presenting tomorrow, and the writer is such a douche. My boss was in meetings all day and I was left to manage him and it's just made me so tired.Apparently everything we have been doing for years is wrong, according to the freelance writer, and the two on-staff creative teams should change our work to be consistent with his. I could and did explain and reiterate and then it hit me: he understood me, he just didn't want to make the changes.
So I told him to email his work and I would revise it myself, adding 2 hours to my workday.
Oh well, most of the work I will present tomorrow is very good, and that's always satisfying. I'll just go to bed early and try to put this long-ass day behind me.
