Greetings Everyone!
Post #1: how very special!
I've been a part of lots of forums and have always enjoyed sharing ideas and bantering with the other members; I promise not to be a trouble maker (Have had quite enough of those folks, thank you) and yet beware of my sometimes sarcastic and often 'off the rails' sense of humor. I just get so fed up with life sometimes that I can't help but poke holes in it in an effort to feel as though I have power over it and then I feel it's worth living. Otherwise, I feel surrounded by mediocre people who couldn't be kind, nice or compassionate if it was served to them on a tray, so I try to do whatever I can to be the Poster Girl for Exemparianism (that's not a word) rather than Mediocrityism (that's not a word, either).
See? I'm whacked! Why? Because I'm sitting here in Sarasota Florida, am 52 years old (I think) but really and truly, a YOUNG 52 (more like 25 and loving it) and I have so much to offer this world yet this town seems to have gone flat lately, and there's just NOTHING HAPPENING, NOBODY TO BE FRIENDS WITH; NO ACTION (I'm beyond the 'action/action' thing, anyway) and I've been without a job since last APRIL and I'm a single Mom with 2 teenagers and a mortgage and oyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like I need this? I flat out refuse to take an entry level position for $6 (yes six) dollars an hour when I've got talent (I'm an artist; don't laugh) and have pretty much done everything in my 12 lifetimes that a person can possibly do! All I want is to grab hold of a little something that will stimulate my mind, will not force me out of the house into the office political arena (it's viscious in there!) and honestly; with the enthusiasm I have, with my distinct work ethics and my personality (I really do like everybody)...............the result of all these positive things is, and always has been: I'M A BIG FAT THREAT TO EVERY WOMAN WHO WORKS FOR THE COMPANY AND THEY CANNOT STAND ME; which kills me; I'm honestly plain and simply nice to everyone since I live by the Golden Rule. I'm a LEO for God sakes; we'll do anything for anyone!!!!
So I'm happy to be at home, with a series of short-term 'virtual assistant' projects (not quite sure how all of this works yet but will figure it out) and want the mental stimulation I need, and then will work on my art during my off-time. I'm a perfectionist who tends to over-work, but with my kids soon to be leaving for college, I need to invest my time in them.
I could ramble on and on (oh yeah; be prepared for that, I'm sorry!) but I've got a TIME MANAGEMENT cloud hanging over me, so I've got to go now. Not sure what I should've said in this intro post, but I'm pretty sure I gave you a general idea of who I am and why you should block me (SEE? I can't help myself; I'm losing it!)............By the way; my name is Rhona pronounced like Donna; my kids are 17 and 15 (girl) and I don't want to talk about it
Horrifying.
I shall return.....and nice meeting all of you. I hope that next time I'll know more about the forum and be able to add something positive and helpful...or even INTERESTING........l'd be happy with that!
If anyone cares to explain how all of this VA works, feel free! If not, I don't blame you! Time is so hard for me to come by that I try to make the most of what I've got at my disposal. It's just plain hard.
Take care!
love,
rhona xx
