Respect for the Vegetarians...Please!?!?

I'm a vegetarian. I'm anal. I'm a germaphobe. I'm conscious of what I consume. I'm conscious of how I consume. Why can't I expect people to respect me?

So today, I had an encounter with my boss. He eats almost everything with only one dietary restriction. Today for lunch, he made a ham sandwich. I walk into the kitchen/copy printer area and see him rinse off a knife and place it in our utensil storage drawer. I was so freaked out that I had to do something I try to avoid at all cost....I confronted him. I asked him, what he used the knife for? He said, to cut his sandwich. I asked, did he wash it off before he put it in the drawer? He said, he rinsed it off with hot water. I reminded him, I do not consume animals and that in the future he should use soap. He said, he will try to remember that and that I should consider bringing in my own knife. I said, thank you, I will. Does he not realize that he is still contaminating the other dishes?

And, that's one reason why vegetarians have beef (pun-intended) with non-vegetarians...

It's Time

Tomorrow, I go home. I could not be more ready to depart as I am right now. As beautiful as Phoenix is, as wonderful as the sun is, I want to go back to Atlanta. I want to go back home...

I miss my liebling.
I miss my sunshine.
I miss my family.

I have a busy week ahead...time with new friends and time with old....

Just time to be....

Divine Intervention

Sooooooooooooo, it is all over! The meeting ended yesterday and I finished packing up and shipping out items from my onsite office today. Now, I get to enjoy Phoenix until I leave on Tuesday.

Today was a fun and awakening day...

I woke up and saw Joel Osteen on television. He was talking about how everything that happens to you is not a coincidence but is all apart of God's plan for you. And, when you want something you have to put it out there, believe and it will happen. Interesting...

After Joel, I was flipping channels and came across one of my favorite documentaries...My Date with Drew. It helped jump start me in the right direction, since I was feeling all sensitive and mopey....

Then, I went to Barnes & Noble. I came across this book, I have been eyeing for a while, How to Love Me. So, I figured that since I have seen it twice then it must be fate intervening and time for me to buy it. So, I did.

After B&N, I was hungry so I walked over to PF Chang's. I bought some fried rice. As I was eating the rice, I opened my fortune cookies...they gave me two! :-D Well, the fortunes said,
Cookie 1: Romance is just around the corner.
Cookie 2: Your sensitivity is an asset.

How funny is all of that?!?!?! Everything is interrelated, or at least appearing to be. Like the stars are aligning themselves to bring good things into my life....

Hmmm.....

P.S. Another piece to the puzzle, Joel's appearing on 60 Minutes tonight.... It's just one of those, everywhere I go there you are type of days....
