just got back from a wine tasting event with my boss.  it was supposed to be a dulles airport business corridor networking thing and my boss wanted to check it out after work.  i dunno -- i'm just now getting used to hanging out in gay bars meeting and socializing with people let alone doing the same thing in the *real world* per se.  that is to say, HOW BORING!  meanwhile -- the deed is done.  i've met a few important airport and tsa people.  that's what counts.

work in general is in turmoil at the moment.  we're almost a dozen or so people down from our staff due to some kind of on-the-job injury or personal family issue.  the general morale of the crew is down as well because of the general hardship of working without the proper coverage.  it's just funny how the people who complain the most are the ones who don't really do any work.  hmmm.   my boss is torn on one end.  the crew is stirring up trouble on the other end.  i'm right here in the middle being pulled this way and that way.  lucky me!  funny, though, how i'm getting these weird accolades and verbal tokens of appreciation from the staff when i never got them before.  someone must've said something about me being stressed out or something.
