Exemplary & Exhausted

During the annual job performance rating at her office yesterday, Ginny earned an Exemplary ranking, the highest any employee can earn.

I’m proud of her.

On the other hand at my work all I get is exhausted.

Dealing with my hard drive crash, I’ve done all I’m able to do to restore and reconstruct my manuscript on the history of the Jacksonville Fire Department. Prospects for recovering this book look bleak. So I’ve called in outside help, my neighbor’s son Adam who recently graduated with a degree in computer science.

If he is not able to resurrect the files, then I’ll have to scrap the project altogether; there’s just too much material missing from years of research.

Last November I was within weeks of finishing the manuscript, even had the book cover designed; so I hate to scrap this book manuscript because some people already want to buy the book even though they haven’t even seen a sample copy yet.

Ginny’s exemplary; I’m exhausted.

But together, we’re still one hell of a team!
