I'm Tired

My battle with depression continues...... it's not the winter blahs but true depression. My motivation is gone, I just want to sleep, mood swings like you wouldn't believe, etc... I need a new job. I go back to the doctor tomorrow the pill he put me on has overwhelming side effects and I can't handle it.

I'm tired of being sick. I'm tired of being scared all the time. I'm tired of all the stress. I've been bad since I lost my parents and my dad's twin brother. ( I lost all of them in less than 3 years).

I hope this explains somewhat why I haven't been blogging much or visiting much. I do visit each of you when I can, but I just can't seem to concentrate much at all anymore. Please keep me in your prayers.


My friend with the premature baby came back to work on the 1st. She said the baby is doing well and is up to 7 lbs. I seen her picture finally and she is so adorable. Thanks to everyone who prayed for her and her daughter.

United Parcel Service Maintenance Records

UPS AirlinesJust in case you need a laugh:Remember it takes a college degree to fly a plane, but only a high school diploma to fix one; a reassurance to those of us who fly routinely in our jobs. After every flight, UPS pilots fill out a form, called a 'gripe sheet,' which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight.Never let it be said that grou nd crews lack a sense of humor. Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by UPS ' pilots (marked with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance engineers.
