Just Another Poo-flingin' Day in the Jungle

*~giggle~*

Yep, that's what my job seems like, lately. It wouldn't be so bad if my boss wasn't always a pisser. Because, I really love what I do for a living. But, for the past 2 months he has been grouchy, fault-finding, snippy, and difficult. He did this last year about this time--maybe he has SAD?! I can deal with it as long as he doesn't cross the line like last year.

I'm so relieved that Christmas is over. The gift-giving craziness is behind me for another year. And, I am so done with this climate. I am imagining christmases in hawaii in the near future, with nice weather, rains, ocean, and family visiting....if only I can afford a big enough home there for visitors to stay!

The title of this post came from t-shirts I purchased here for Christmas presents! Heh.

Look at this cute hat on the winter issue of Knitty:
Soo clever. I love it.

And I definitely want to try making a pair of cabled socks in this Celtic looking pattern published in the same issue of Knitty! And reversible lovely cables in a scarf! And look at the cute Musk-Ox Slippers....I love Knitty. Such a great resource! (One more--love this.)

Check out this poncho/capelette, called Undertow. How beautiful is that?! I love it


Onward into 2009, with new knitting goals =D

That is such a clever fish hat! Hope your boss cheers up soon. It's been rain, rain, rain, and one day of no electricity here on Oahu. Good day for reading, knitting and eating:)

I saw that fish hat too, I think i might have to knit one for my marine biologist SIL!
Sorry to hear about your boss issues... Two and a half years ago, I changed not only my job but my whole career because my boss had just got too obnoxious to live with, even though I loved working with the other 800 people there! I'm happy in my new role, but still think that bosses have altogether too much impact on our lives and happiness!

I understand what you're coping with at work, having gone through similar experience many times in my work. I hope it gets better soon.

I love that poo-flinging tshirt! heehee

Happy New Year and all the best for 2009.
