I love you guys. Thank you for all of your suggestions. I am taking them to heart as we speak and I’m getting everything in writing starting today.

I’m working on a spreadsheet of sorts, listing each of my responsibilities, what my comments or concerns about each of them are, and possible solutions to each of my concerns. It’s going to be a pretty big project, but at least I’ll have everything down in writing. And it’s true, my boss does love to have everything there in black and white. And he still has yet to give me an appraisal anyway, so this can be used for both. I know that he honestly doesn’t even have a clue of what I do. His attitude is, as long as I’m getting the job done, then everything is fine and I can take on more responsibility. I’ve made things look easy. And so he’s piled it on. But my plate is full and overflowing now, and he needs to know that.

I think what I’ll do is get everything together and take a day or two to make sure that I’ve listed everything that I have a concern about and then e-mail it to my boss. I’m going to tell him that I’d like to have a one-on-one meeting with him regarding the issues after he gets back from vacation, but before the bitch session on the 30th. I’m nervous about it, but I know he’ll appreciate the effort that I’ve put into it and all of the clarifications and suggestions that I’m making.

Been having some awesome dreams lately. Disturbing, yet fascinating. I can’t really remember all of them, and many times I wake up thinking, wow…I really need to remember this! Only to fall back to sleep and forget.

I do remember a couple of things from my dreams lately: a contest, alligators, a river, and flagging libido. Here are some insights that I’ve found while cruising dream dictionaries on the net:

Alligator — Dream dictionary says, “It is a dream of caution. Primordial fear. Be careful in making new speculations. It is a dream unfavorable to all persons connected to it.”

River — “Emptying. Flowing and active. Thinking it’s time to get rid of some feelings.”

Contest — “Competition. Rivalry”

Lack of Lust—- Well, the dream dictionary says that lust is, “Eagerness for possession. Unfulfilled in life and need to be satisfied.” Not sure what it means when I’m not interested in sex in my dreams. Here’s the interesting thing though: for years I’ve had kind of a knack with having lucid dreams. And whenever I’ve found myself in more of a lucid state, it seems like I always get horny and have sex with whoever’s there at the time. It’s almost comical. Like, in a dream I could be in a business meeting with a new vendor or something. It could be completely business-like, and all of a sudden, I’ll find myself in more of a lucid state in my dream, and start hitting on him/her. And then we have sex. Bizarre, huh? I wonder why I seem to ALWAYS go for the sex? It’s like, hey…I’m having a lucid dream…I might as well go for it and have sex!! Am I perverted? But I guess the bigger question is: why am I not interested in dream sex lately? Let alone real life sex?!

Almost forgot that it’s St. Patrick’s Day! I love St. Pat’s! Hmmm…wonder why? Could it be because I have all of the qualities that fit perfectly into this particular holiday? The Irish background (though my surname is Scottish), the red hair, the love of beer…not to mention that green is my favorite color and looks good on me! I haven’t even made plans for the day. If I was truly hard core, I would have called in sick today to go to the big parade and then drink myself into a stupor this afternoon. Yeah. I’m thinking my hard core days are over. What a crying shame.

I better go figure something out to make up for this horrible lack of respect for this sacred day!!!
