"Persona non Grata" means "Unwelcome Person"

That's kind of the way I feel some days. I sit in my little corner and watch people go by and feel pretty much invisible. I'm not asked for my opinion, or my counsel. It's weird really, I used to be the one that they came to when a problem needed solving, or with a suggestion on how situations should be addressed. Not any more.

I'm starting to look forward to retirement. I felt it last week when for the first time in my working life I realized that I wasn't wondering how things were going here, not one little bit. That's not a good sign. This week I should be happy to be back, but instead I'm feeling conflicted.

Better days are coming, I'm sure...
