DEATH OF AN AUNT

My aunt Shirley Morgan died this week after complications from surgery.She was really my cousin but growing up my sister and I always refereed to her as Aunt.There are so many memories of Christmas dinners , nights ice skating on a homemade ice in the backyard, and Friday nights at cub scout meetings ,which she was a leader along with my mother. A lady that could be extremely kind as well as hand out biting comments, overall she was a very decent human being who will sorely be missed by friends and family. She was 77 , my mother was 80 , when she passed last year and I never thought either of them as old . My god it is interesting as we ourselves age what we consider old would be a completely different figure if asked the same question 20 or 30 years ago . Perhaps this is our own safety feature to extend our own sense of mortality. Well goodbye Aunt Shirley and Godspeed.
Now for the working life . THANK GOD IT IS FRIDAY or in this case a long weekend. To work for people who can barely read a spreadsheet or see the relevance of certain figures is frustrating to say the least. It comes to mind the adage " wealth does not equal intelligence " , to watch them continually look for the magic formula to properly structure a department without the necessary people is exasperating, what is the other saying " to do the same thing over and over again and expect different results is insanity " . My employer is the reason why unions are the only answer ,I have come to believe for the working man. The next few weeks should be fairly interesting.
