Happy December!

Happy December!
I can't believe it's already December already and before we know it, Christmas will be here. As you can see, I changed my background (which I will admit that it may change from month to month) and my title of my blog. I was reading the Bible and I found this awesome verse from the Book of Ecclesiastes Chapter 3 and I thought that it was so nice let alone inspiring. I couldn't put the whole verse in the slot, so here's the whole verse just in case you were wondering:
"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace." There are a lot of verses from The Bible that I like, but I have to admit that this one does take the cake. For some reason, it just says everything that people need to take "time" to do (does that make sense and no pun intended).
OK, time for a different subject. Here, in Ithaca, it doesn't seem like December has hit us; it stills feels like November. Winter officially starts in 19 days while Christmas is in 23. I don't know if I am ready for Christmas because last year, James and I spent it with his cousin's Father's side of the family and it wasn't too great (just watching people you don't know open presents while you just sit there and be envious of the fact that they got gifts and you didn't) and this year, we are back in Ithaca and James' family doesn't celebrate Christmas (due to the fact that they are Jewish) so I guess that James and I will just relax at home or I think that we are going to see a friend of ours (Vickie and Wayne) on Christmas day (then again, I could be wrong because I think that we are going to see them New Year's Eve).
Question for whoever reads my blog: why can't people just leave things alone or why can't they just realize that things just happen for a reason and lastly, why can't people just talk to the person that they are talking about instead of talking behind their backs? If you haven't guess it already, I am talking about one particular co-worker of mine. For the almost past week and a half, I have been opening more days than closing (in other words I would work 9-6 instead of working 11-7) and frankly, I really don't care what time I worked just as long as I got my full-time hours. Apparently I can't (or I am not supposed to have) these hours. I am supposed to close all the time while this one co-worker is supposed to have 9-6's across the board. Sean and I already talked to the Pharmacy Manager and the District Manager and the chances of her getting 9-6's across the board (meaning never closing) are slim to none. She even tried (or is continuing to try) to have our OTC manager do our schedule so she can have her way. It just makes me sick on why can't she just be fair? She will get to open one of these weeks and when I don't know, but I do know that she will get to soon. And she wonders why we will never get along. It's reasons like this and talking crap behind my back are the examples to why we won't. Just when we think that we are headed in the right direction, there's always a road block and she can never maneuver it because she doesn't want to try to.
Well, I am going to sign off now because I have to get up early in the morning and run some errands so I am going to say goodnight, have a good week, and God Bless (oh and btw, sorry for the rants...my blogs won't be the same if I don't rant at least once right?)!
