Here I am at work, again. On daylight shift after two night shifts. I'm tired, and slow. Everyone has the same gripes and groans. I thought working with women would be different and interesting. Boy was I wrong! It's not that I have anything against women, I do enjoy working with everyone. It just gets monotonous hearing the same complaints over and over and over. Why do women spend so much time complaining about things out of their control? Or, if something can be done, why not just fix or change it instead of spending so much time and effort complaining about it? O.K. I guess I'm wrong with it being about women. Many men do the same thing as well. It just seems as though I've worked with many more women that do it than men.
I don't understand why women will keep a grudge forever while continuing to "pretend" nothing is wrong. All the while everyone else hears how terrible he/she is. Most of the time it's over a misunderstanding anyway.
Enough of my venting for today. I just get tired of people playing the same games, every day like children. DONE.
I'm trying to get ideas for fundraiser for my son. He was picked to go to Europe through People to People Student ambassador program. I have a basket that was donated by my wife's co-worker for raffle; my mother crocheted a blanket for raffle; we've been selling candy; we're waiting for pizza discount cards to sell; we have bake sales planed; I'm making homemade soap to sell; and my wife's workplace may (they're considering the idea) sponsor him for an unknown amount. It just seems as though we can't get enough people to contribute. If anyone has any other ideas (that's assuming anyone has even glanced at this blog) please let me know. I think the problem is that we only have our work places involved. I don't know who else or how else to get others involved. Don't get me wrong, our work places are very involved. Everyone is very willing to contribute and help out. The problem is we need to raise a large sum of money for one person. I think if it were a group effort it wouldn't be so bad. Each child is responsible for raising their own funds. I'll thank anyone in advance for your ideas.
I'll finish my work day and maybe write more after.
Till then.

Have you thought about doing a letter writing campaign? You could raise funds by writing letters to corporations in your area? Are there other students in your area that have been chosen along with your son? You could try a joint effort in raising the funds.
If you mean writing letters for sponsors, yes, we've sent out several but nothing in return as of lately. And as for joint effort, there are 39 children as of last count, we get group fundraisers to sell, it's just that there are only so many people in our social circle to sell to. It's just tough getting the word out.
