Clutter Crisis - Dealing with It - Time Management - Helpers - One Day at a Time - Open Memoir

  I t seems I was always in a job that was cluttered... Not the usual type of clutter, but, rather, having a volume of work to be done and it continuing to build up until I couldn't stand it anymore...and Stopped Everything and Got Rid Of the Clutter... Literally... It was the '60s when I arrived on the campus of West Virginia University. I was hired by Personnel--to work in the Office of Personnel. Cool, right? My first job was as a Records Clerk who was responsible for creating the personnel file for all employees of the University. From high school, having already chosen my career path, I had already learned basics of filing, so was fully prepared to assume the job. I was also, however, to act as Secretary to the Assistant Director of Personnel, Sandy Serpento. It was a good way to be welcomed into the professional part of my life. Five years with staff who trained, supported, and took advantage of my basic skills and honed them to excellence. I was ready for moving up. It a...

Medical Alert - Medicare Changes Moving Toward End??? - Open Memoir - The Word Called Trust...

  Most people who read, know and love Scripture, when asked about “The Love Chapter of the Bible,” would immediately point to 1 Corinthians 13… and they certainly would be correct. At the same time, the gospel reading from John 14 could, perhaps, be thought of as “a close second.” Jesus speaks about His love for the Father; the Father’s love for Him; the love of the Father and the Son for us; and our love for Him! (Verses 15-31 use the word “love” ten times!)  In the context of this divine love, Jesus calls His faithful followers to trust – “Trust in God; trust also in Me.” (John 14: 1) Confident in His almighty love and care, Jesus encourages us to respond obediently when says, “If anyone loves Me, he will obey My teaching. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. He who does not love Me will not obey My teaching.” (John 14: 23-24)  Continue reading, if you wish, of this chapter... I grew up on songs like "Trust and Obey." It was fairl...

Today's Work Stalled... Trying to Live in the AI World of Facebook as it is These Days - Open Memoir

  Google Alert! - If my typing fast is a problem for the Blogger System or your mail system I've used for 20 years, please be sure to let me know... I never would have imagined that my speed of about 80 wpm could ever be faster than computers... You’re Temporarily Blocked It looks like you were misusing this feature by going too fast. You’ve been temporarily blocked from using it.  T his popped up when I tried to send a message to META (Trying to get back on I wrote:) This latest message is after 6 months of Facebook locking my account  on Facebook. Let's us review all of this: Facebook Account for Glenda Bixler, GABixlerReviews... Years ago I was totally kicked off of Facebook "For my Safety" after being on that site for at least,.or more than, 10 years. Given that the head of Facebook now  has announced that they are no longer able to consider "safety" of  accounts, I thought I would try one last time to discover why I am getting popups from Facebook, even...

Hate - Fear - Resentment - Anger - Fight - The Evolution of a Revolution - Open Memoir

  I love music. It's like a book that's to be sung rather than read. I like to throw in music that I don't even like, just to get a word or message across that somebody has set to music. Hope you enjoyed opening of Two-Faced yesterday...LOL Note to Everybody: My type of humor may not match yours... That's Great! Every single Child of God is Unique! Left home yesterday just to get out, frankly. Rachel, my caretaker, drove me... It seems that whenever we talk, it leads to what's been happening in our lives, but mostly in the world--specifically the U.S. About 5 years ago, her mother Tracey, called to ask me if I wanted Rachel to come and help me... I yelled out YES! And, now, about 5 years later, I still feel the same... But, yesterday, my PTSD was in its fullness and at one point I said that I needed more help... I said that I'm losing more skills. I was losing my long-time ability to spell--a simple word. She immediately scoffed, "I do that too!" And t...

There's a word for what they call Those Who Continuously Lie - Two-Faced - Open Memoir...

Dictionary Definitions from Oxford Languages two-faced adjective insincere and deceitful. "I soon learned that he was two-faced" Similar: deceitful insincere double-dealing hypocritical backstabbing false untrustworthy duplicitous Janus-faced deceiving dissembling dishonest disloyal treacherous perfidious faithless lying untruthful mendacious Opposite: sincere honest Here's a perfect example, don't you think? I've lied; We all have... It appears to be instinctual, although that's my own thoughts... Children seem to learn to lie when they are disciplined. Especially with loud or angry voices. They know that mommy or daddy seems angry and they become afraid... They become scared... and deny that they broke the lamp, or whatever... It's part of the I'm Ok medical discussion... The "child" within us automatically feels in the wrong and becomes not Ok, so they lie to the one yelling... BUT, just as it is a learned feeling, it can also be learned n...
