Happy New Years?

So, the years on the Plantation have been so rough that I'm not trusting anything or anyone ever again.  Consequently, every time someone says "Happy New Years", my response has been "We'll see."  I'm not taking anything for granted.  I'm gonna just wait and see how things go.

The new massa was named today.  Our old massa is still around until the end of the month as a consultant.  (Just like the Shaman predicted).  And, hopefully, after that, the blatant racism, abuse of authority and basic unfairness and negativity and hostile work environment will go out with him.  We'll see.  A lot of staffers are feeling hopeful again.  Not me.  I got hopeful when Director Guy came in and that's been such a huge disappointment that I won't allow myself to get suckered in again, only to be let down.  I have absolutely no expectations.  I'm gonna try to be invislble -- stay in my corner of the office, be as quiet as possible, stay out of everyone's way.

So today was an interesting day on the Plantation. I got an indecent proposal by a kid in his 20's.  He sent me an email calling himself a "young hunter" in search of a "cougar."  And that if I ever needed his "services" give him a call, and included his telephone number in the email.  I laughed and I laughed and I laughed. But he's a good kid and I didn't want to hurt him, so I stroked his ego by emailing back that he was the second young hunter to approach me within a month (true that is), but I would jump him ahead.

Seriously though ... it was very flattering, but no thanks to either one. I love being alone and unbothered.  I crave being alone and unbothered.  I neeeeeeeed to be alone and unbothered.  I am at peace when alone and unbothered.
