Time to Say Goodbye – Sarah Brightman & Andrea Bocelli

When I'm alone
I dream on the horizon
And words fail;
Yes, I know there is no light
In a room
Where the sun is not there
If you are not with me.
At the windows
Show everyone my heart
Which you set alight;
Enclose within me
The light you
Encountered on the street.

Time to say goodbye,
To countries I never
Saw and shared with you,
Now, yes, I shall experience them,
I'll go with you
On ships across seas
Which, I know,
No, no, exist no longer;
With you I shall experience them.

When you are far away
I dream on the horizon
And words fail,
And yes, I know
That you are with me;
You, my moon, are here with me,
My sun, you are here with me.
With me, with me, with me,

Time to say goodbye,
To countries I never
Saw and shared with you,
Now, yes, I shall experience them,
I'll go with you
On ships across seas
Which, I know,
No, no, exist no longer;
With you I shall re-experience them.
I'll go with you
On ships across seas
Which, I know,
No, no, exist no longer;
With you I shall re-experience them.
I'll go with you,
I with you.

Sticking Pins II

It’s getting crazy at work. Everyone seems to be annoyed with everyone else and in all honesty, I’ve been laughing at the madness all day. Believe me, we are feeling the pinch and it’s just beginning. I told my co-workers weeks ago what to expect so we’ve been geared up for it more or less, but for some reason I feel this Xmas will be tougher than previous years.

If you wish to meet a group of people who seriously do not look forward to the Xmas season, yeah that’ll be us. Did you notice I said Xmas instead of Christmas, umm hmm, XXXXXX, that’s because we want it over a.s.a.p. Sounds dismal I know, but we’ll get through it once we don’t kill each other first.

To top off the craziness, I misplaced my calculator while packing up this afternoon and began a mini episode of, ‘Bridget Gone Mad’ trying to figure out who the hell would steal a 17+ year old calculator, to then discover I placed it in my desk draw. It has sentimental value ok. It was given to me Dec 1993, so it means something and I always take care of the things which I love.

In any case, I am home now and comfortable, until tomorrow for another dose of the ‘Mad House’ in the workplace.

I’m so irritable, I hate when I’m moody topped off with tiredness. I’ve been snapping at my co-workers and friends all day, it’s a good thing they know me well enough. They don’t even bother with my moodiness and would still harass me. Oh they’ll ask, “Bridget what’s wrong, who upset you, you had a bad weekend?” And those questions just add to it. Can’t I just be moody because I’m moody? Must it be linked to a situation? Of course not, I’m just moody. I’m allowed to be moody right? Yes I am. And by the way I had a perfectly fine weekend.

Ever notice it’s the little things that get to you most? After running around all day, I get upstairs to the office minutes to four, and my black ink pen decides to stop writing. You know, like it just had a mind of its own to annoy me. So I’m sitting there looking at a blue ink pen dreading that I have to use it, picked it up and began to write and in my mind I’m saying, “I can’t deal with this, I have documents I need to finish in black ink.”

Better believe I’m praying for a miracle yet again, because I seriously thought that was my last black ink pen. My co-workers are always taking my pens, so I tend to hide them as best I can in my draw. There I am digging away and Hallelujah!!! I found a black ink pen. That reminds me I need to order stationery.

Don’t ask me why I’m obsessed with black ink. I love writing in black ink, I just love black, period! It has always been and will always be an elegant colour far as I am concerned and because of that, at some point I must wear all black, which I do every Friday for work. Look, it’s my tradition which I’ve done for years and I will keep it alive. Black is beautiful.

You know what I could do with right now? Pitch black and utter silence. Ha! Not going to happen. Instead I’ll just unwind by watching a movie. See Ya!

Day by Day

After a backbreaking week at work, I am so thankful for the weekend. Though I have some serious rearranging to do, it’s October and it’s time to start my studies. I’ll be kicking myself in the bott if I put this thing off for another year, honestly I have no idea how I’m going to do this but I need to.

They say education is the key to success, I just hope I don’t break mine trying to unlock the door. God help me because I’ll really need a miracle, studying for a degree on my own will not be a walk in the park, but I know where I want to be and I’m going for it. I did not endure all that B.S. throughout the years to give up now.

Sometimes I wonder if I made the correct career choice going into business. In my younger life I wanted to be a mechanic, yeah I know imagine me as a mechanic right? I get annoyed when I chip a nail. Mom knew I had a brain so she suggested I do something that requires me to use it, so I chose business. Yah!

I enjoy dabbing into other careers occasionally. Writing, theology, psychology and computers, in that case it ain’t all bad. I guess I’m just naturally multi-talented, you know I got skills. I have a massive smile on my face when I say that. Well enough of me being full of myself, those are the other professions I’m really into, but I can’t do everything so they are just hobbies, for now. You could never know though, always expect the unexpected. I do love what I do, when I do it.

That reminds me of this song, Time of our Lives, ‘it’s hard to walk away from the best of days,’ ‘now the page is turned, the stories we will write.’ For real! I have a few in mind.
