nothing much

Listening to Bob Marley and The Wailers Live

So here we are close to two weeks into the new year and there isn't anything going on.  Pretty quite year so far.  By this time next month, A and I will be getting ready to go home for a vacation.  We are flying out on the fourteenth of February.  Not the most romantic thing in the world, but who cares.  We will see our niece, Ayla, for the first time (not counting pictures or web cam, which I don't count anyways).  Plus it'll be good to see snow.  Lots and lots of snow.  I just hope it doesn't suddenly get warm in the Soo before we get there.  I doubt it will.  

The busy part of the work year has past, and it was stressful.  Looking back compared to the previous year, this year was worse.  I think it is because of the transition we had with management.  Looking at it, we only had three executives this year that we had last year, which speaks to the turn over in retail itself.  Within my own department it sucked.  Sucked big balls.  Big hairy ones.  By the time the store had hired me new team members, it was past Thanksgiving (which is the busiest part of the year for me) and just a week or two before Christmas, so they didn't really help me out there.  Which, in effect, led to my stress level increasing.  There were points in the two months when I just hated going to work because it was just such a mess dealing with my bosses.  But all is right with the work world, for now at least.  

I have had an urge recently to pick up the camera again and start shooting.  The only problem is, is that I have gone to downtown Wichita two or three times in the past and feel that I have gotten all the pictures that I want from there.  I can only walk up and down Douglas and Central so many times before it all starts to look the same.  And I'll be damned if I'm going on some side streets, I really don't want to end up shot.  That may sound bad, but I have walked some of those streets and walked those streets rather quickly.  Maybe once the weather gets nicer I will get back out.
