What IS In A Name Anyway???

I saw this over at Lisa's. I must say I don't know how an algarhythm that repeats many of the same phrases can be so correct.

What Tani Ann Means

You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life.
You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home.
You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble.

You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection.
You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.
You have the classic "Type A" personality.

You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.
You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.
You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.

You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.
You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.
You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

First Blog Of 2008

Hello, It's been too long since I have visited here.

I hope the Holidays were good to you all. I had a restful time throughout the holidays myself. Still trying to get used to the new schedule,so it seemed I was either sleeping, or generally feeling tired and lacking in inspiration or cash to do much of anything with my time.

Sleep schedules seem to be a bit goofy this week. I have tried to adhere to my schedule on days off as much as possible, which means most of my waking hours are during the night,and I fall into bed somewhere in early morning. KInd of a quiet time, and I find myself alone a good bit of the time. Sometimes that is just what the Dr. ordered around here where it seems chaos most of the time.

The Baby is growing like a weed, and it seems she has just awakened from a sleep,suddnely at 2 months old she is alert and following you with her eyes, and mimicing your facial expressions. Here cuteness factor has skyrocketed as she has started making baby noises other than screaming.LOL

My Niece is making strives toward maturity now she is a Mother, and I must say I am proud of her. She inquired over enroling in a medical assisting course, and starts Monday with 3 classes a week. She is not an easy learner, but she stuck with highschool and graduated, with free tutoring help at the school I am hoping she can make this happen. She wants to give her daughter a better life than she had. I wish her younger sister had the motivation as well.

My nephew is still laying about, He tried a temp job, but they have not had hours for him,and he stays up playing video games and sleeps all day. He turns 19 this mont, and I would have hoped he would do more with himself. He is a bright child if he could get motivation. His Dad and step Mom have told him he must be out this spring. I really hope he pulls himself together. I know that nobody can do it for him, and maybe he needs the push of being homeless to wake up. Of course I do not want to see that happen.

The new job is going well. I am finally settling in to the work flow. I find I need to just slow down and let the phone ring a bit so I complete each call in before moving ahead so I don't forget to complete all the steps to the process. Silly me, I have it in my head I have to answer each call that comes through my line. I also need to get away from taking notes ,and get to typing them in as I go to save time. I am not referring to my cheat sheets very often anymore, and am starting to feel comfortable making some repair decisions without consulting the others. There are still lots of new situations that come up though, and I am certainly not afraid to ask.LOL The 12 hour shifts are going better than I would have thought. I don't struggle to stay awake, It has been tough though through the Holidays when it was soooo slow we didn't have a call one from midnight til 5 a.m.

I start a new online class Saturday, This one will comcentrate more on developing your images. This meaning using editing software to get more out of your digital pictures. I use a fair amount of editing now, but I learned techniques as I went. So I am hoping to get some new skills using Photoshop. It will be exciting to have something to do long nights at home trying to stay up to keep my schedule. Might be the shot in the arm I have been needing to inspire me in my photography as well.
