simmering

Sometimes the ignorance and blatant prejudices of my work place make me want to SCREAM!!! I realize that I live in a small town in the South and liberalism is not the norm, however for people who are so eager to tout their religion there seems to be a lot of hate out there. I work for an organization that has a disclaimer on every piece of paper about how we are an equal employment opportunity organization and we do not discriminate on race, sex, religion, or sexual preference. But that is a load of crap, b/c if your sexual preference is not the majority you better not be out with it when applying for a job. A qualified candidate will not be interviewed b/c it is known he is gay. Now no one has asked him that out right nor was it indicated on his application. He is known as a "friend" of a client who comes in regularly who is openly gay. What makes me more angry is that we are interviewing a less qualified candidate over this guy. Now my boss does not say we are not interviewing him b/c he is gay, but it's because of his experience. Excuse me how can a man with a Masters and 20 years experience not be more qualified than a man who hasn't even finished his BS yet and is only 22. WTF? I swear if I ever have a child I will raise him or her to be open minded and accepting if it kills me. I will have an uphill battle with the crap that goes on in the schools and my crazy in-laws. I am so mad.

candy

I am fully addicted to the Twilight saga by Stephanie Myers. Its all about teenagers and vampires and werewolves. It's like candy for my brain, no nutritional value but I can't stop reading it. I am a huge Buffy fan, and also read all of the Ann Rice books. I know these books are supposed to be "young adult" but its so yummy.

My 10K race two weeks ago, sucked a big one, but I finished and I didn't have to walk. My 1/2 marathon is one month from today and I have a lot of training to do. I joined a gym in the town where I work. I had a free personal trainer session this morning at 6:30. It was early but it was good. I may not be able to move my arms by the end of the day but it felt good to lift. I would like to be in good marathon shape for the Myrtle Beach Marathon in Feb.

On the infertility front, I still taking my BCP. I go to my RE next week for follow up to make sure no cysts are forming. I am enjoying this time off from TTC. I am really enjoying wine and coffee too. Another round of babies have been born in my circle. My brother found out they are having a girl. I am excited for them, but it still hurts. My SIL due date was moved back to Feb. 25 one week after I was due. Right now my plan is to start TTC after her baby is born. But who knows I may break before then. I mean I haven't POAS in 3 months. The HPT industry is probably wondering whats going on.
