It ain't over till it's over.

You wanna know the worst part about leaving any job? It's that no matter what it is, or how hard you fight it, the apathy eventually does take over. At some point or another, after batting the thought away with prayer and principles, it still occurs to you, "I'm not even going to be here in 'x' number of days, so who really cares?"
It is then that even those of us with the best of intentions give way. The countdown begins. The packing takes precedence. And pretty soon, it's all over....
To top that off, I've been sick for the last three days - missing 1 and 2 partial days of work due to whatever slimy, no-good flue-like bug is going around. So I can't even dress up, go in to work, and PRETEND to give it my best unti the weekend...
This is just the type of thing I would call home about. I'd call my mom to whine and complain about the general "suckyness" factor of it all. And knowing Mom, she'd listen well (as only Moms can), and tell me to suck it up, do my best, and finish what I came to do.
But I can't call Mom. Why? Because she's at the funeral right now. (Yes, Liz's service is going on at home at this very hour.) The funeral I wanted attend. The one I chose not to - why? Because, as I recall, "I would miss too many days of work."
Well. So much for that.
Speaking of finality, I was interested to learn that our dear friend Liz saved more lives in her death, than, perhaps, if she had survived. As an organ donor, she was able to help extend the lives of at least 4 other people this week, including a young girl Liz's age, who received her heart!
For all the lip-smacking at cliches, maybe it really "isn't over till it's over." Amen?
Now I think I've had all I can stand of my bad attitude, poor health, and self-indulgent whining this morning. All that's really left for me to do, I suppose, is to shut up and go to work.............

Till next time,
