Rag Doll livin' in a Movie

Aerosmith, I love you! I was talking with a coworker about my professional standing with my company. The funny part about me being here is that I am the lowest man on the totem pole but if I'm gone for 1 day the whole support staff is completely thrown off. Personally I think it's hilarious, but it also makes me feel good inside. This discussion with my supervisor was about my past offerings within this company and what might future might hold here. I had made a comment that I am the company rag doll. It's bittersweet to say the least.

I am the favorite toy that everyone counts on to be there for emotional days, pick me up or to solve some random problem. But when all is right with the world, I am cast off to the side not to be noticed one way or another, in a heap on the floor. On one hand, people come to me when the need me. But on the other hand, I am less appreciated when "out of sight out of mind" comes into play. It really doesn't bother me as much as it should and here's why. I am totally left up to my own devices. I get my work done here which makes people leave me alone and not question what I do. Also, with my work done, the free time that I do create for myself, I am rewarded by being able to write to you, scour the wonders of the information highway (internet) and shop my little hearts desire away (which needs to end).

So here's to being me. Though I feel being a working city girl has outlived its life in my heart, I will appreciate it as long as possible. Hopefully, soon you will be reading lovely posts from where I sit under a tree, feeling the sun's warmth, watching a child near by playing in the same sun.

Then I will be a rag doll no more.

Peacefully yours, Merry Ms Berry
