rally

A pep rally is what I need right now. Or a vacation. Probably the latter since it's been a year since my last vacation. Soon. Very soon . . .

trade

Right now, at this moment, I wish I could trade my job for anything else. Well, maybe just retirement. But working on income taxes with the deadline just two days away isn't my idea of fun.

There's a small chance that my neck won't hurt during tomorrow's board meeting, followed by the annual meeting. Perhaps the neck pain is due to the pressure of having everything ready, being prepared with my presentations without sounding like an idiot, and at full attention. Perhaps. Just perhaps.

She was super-secretary, although that term was rarely used these days. To be politically correct and non-offensive, she was called an Assistant. As if that made a difference in her job description. But she could do it all and loved it.

Destruction was all around. The storm left a path of destruction all the way to the shore. Branches were strewn all over the road.
