The NPP Needs a Slogan

I tend to post after work, hence the typically late time stamp on my posts. It's not that I always work so late; I really have no set schedule. But nighttime is my time, even if evidence from my last post points to a need for a keyboard curfew.

I fear the next week or so I'll be on stakeout at work. I should set up a cot in the back and bring my bunny slippers. Visit from a Big Boss. Grrr. They always interrupt the flow, you know? With their fancy ideas and lack of real understanding of how this end of the business works. I'd like them to work a shift or two in my sensible shoes, and maybe I can jet around the country, sipping martinis and talking about my trip to Italy last week.

Actually, most of them are good people, I'm just jealous. It may be time to move on, but change is scary. I don't want to end up hating my job tho, because that sort of resentment just eats a huge gaping hole through anything else happy in your life.

I should be living vicariously through my characters, however they seem to have gone into the Novel Protection Program. They're probably tip-toeing across my brain right now, donning wigs and trench coats, hatching a plan to sneak their way into another plot, even as I type this.

I'd love to withdraw my savings and take up residence at a Westin, just me, my computer and a room service menu.
Westins are worth the price, with their truly Heavenly Bed and even more divine Bath.
Hmm.... A week of luxury or a couple months of rent. Anybody have a pill to counteract responsibility and common sense? Anyone?

I wish.

I too am one of those sensible ones.

Down here it's not so much the WESTIN- it's Wilsons- Indoor heated pool- wonderful suites- mini-bar- room service.

And the price ratio is about the same- two months rent or mortage payment = 1 nights stay.

sigh.......if only we didnt have to eat.....or wear clothes- or go anywhere or do anything for a couple months.

Sometimes I wish I had a job with no set hours.

Then I think about it and KNOW If I did have one I would NEVER go in.....
"I'll do it tommorrow" would be my battle-cry.

Thank you, Cindy, Thank you.

It's so nice to finds someone else who holds the sae opinion of the 'Big Boss Executives'.

IE, they arrive with grand ideas that have no chance of working in real life. Implement them, depsite their entire staff protesting, then fire other people when their new grand plan doesn't work out.

Then it's back to head office for coffee and raises.

(I would link to about 3 of my posts on this subject, but I'm trying to resist spamming)

Nashville Prevention Partnership?

Ah, The Westin. Who doesn't love it? It's all about the comfy, sit-in bay window for reading!
