In Plain View
Watched a special on the origins and structure of the Sphinx and another on the Devil's Sea (oriental Bermuda Trianlge) last night. Seems to be a theme right now - things hidden in plain view.
Called the mom of one of my oldest son's friends just to touch base today. She's worked at the university all her life and is one of their specialists with respect to information technologies - the application rather than the development I think. We've always been compatible because of our interests in spiritual studies and we've followed similar paths of discovery. We haven't spoken for a couple of years just because we were focused on divergent imperatives for a while. She says planning to travel to a couple of sacred sites in the next year - in Thailand and in Egypt.
She's been working with a scholar who has been working on a translation of the Zohar and some of the supporting literature. The scholar she works with is in the Middle East. She hasn't heard from him for a few weeks and she's concerned. I guess he has a habit of just disappearing from time to time so she's not frantic yet. I told her what my friend still in the Middle East has been relaying to me and what I've gathered from work. Don't know if it helps or not. I'm not certain why we're supposed to be working together right now, but I guess that will become clear in time. The last time we collaborated (parenting for ADHD children)it did help a lot of families in this community so that's something to look forward to.
Spent the day reading and digging through some of the alternative health publications I have. I'm still on antibiotics and I'm tired of being sick all the time - haven't been able to get off them since starting this last assignment. Given the stuff that's in the boxes, documents water damaged in shipment(mold and mildew), little critters both alive and biting, and dead and decaying; and dust and debris from the properties they were sent from, I guess it's not surprising I'm struggling healthwise. I've taken the last few days off again, trying to rebuild some immune function so I have resistance to the toxins, but I think I need more than just rest. Caused quite a stir with T2 (the disturbing call from my supervisor)I guess, but she didn't mind when B took a day off this week to take her dog to the vet because it had got loose and roamed around the streets for a few hours. B usually is away at least one day each week for a variety of reasons, but there is never a quaver about it. Once again there are different measures applied in terms of treatment - I don't know why it took me by surprise this time.
Decided that worrying about it won't alter anything. I hope I can find something in the books that will help me with the physical health issues and I just sent out more resumes. No point expecting things to change or get any better after this length of time, so the only other choice I have is to find work elsewhere. My supervisor, A, mentioned some possibilities when he called, but I can't risk another 3 months of spotty employment while the data management company and the company I'm assigned to work out an arrangement. I'm the only one who won't get paid while they wrangle about health, safety and environmental conditions. I've mentioned before that I don't think T2 ever wanted the data management company in there anyway and has been looking for a way to bump them out Dumb, when there is just another month in the contract anyway.
