What Do You Do For a Living?

June 20, 2012

That question is such a loaded question, especially these days.  Filling out standard forms that ask for my “occupation” have become treacherous.  It’s one thing if a stranger asks–a one word statement will do.  But when someone who knows me asks what I’m up to these days…well, I kind of don’t know where to start. It’s [...]

Immovable Stones

October 4, 2010

Sometimes good news doesn’t come without a cost.  In fact, I’ve learned over the years that I never get good news without a cost.  There’s always something driving my disappointment right after I’m notified of something good. I’ll stop being cryptic. I got offered the job late on Friday afternoon.  This was after making myself [...]

Nerves

September 30, 2010

I am unbelievably nervous right now.  I found out last night that I’m a finalist for The Job and they’re going to be contacting references today and we did a follow up phone interview this morning.  Things are moving VERY quickly, and I guess I’m just not accustomed to that change in pace. Today they’re [...]

September 20, 2010

Usually I do RT on Tuesdays, but I’m just in a random mood today. I got an interview for the job I want!  It’s a week from today.  I’ve already purchased a new suit.  Well…two new suits, actually.  I couldn’t decide.  It’ll be a game day decision as to which one gets to play on [...]

September 8, 2010

Utter frustration. That’s what I feel right now.  It’s not all about my coffee being prepared wrong (though that isn’t helping at the moment), it’s not all about having a job where I don’t feel useful (though, that is also a pain in the ass), it’s not even about already starting to fall behind in [...]

The four day weekend (yes, I took Friday off as well) was glorious.  The Mister was a bit peeved because we didn’t get to go out on The Family Boat due to the cool/rainy weather, but I enjoyed having the weekend free from everything.  I read most of the weekend. I’m almost done with Harry [...]

“Think of me what you will, I’ve got a little space to fill.”  Tom Petty, You Don’t Know How It Feels This weekend was an interesting journey.  Ms. CEW came in from out of town and we met up with other friends along the way.  It was a really great time, and I haven’t been [...]

Witness This

July 7, 2010

It’s no secret that I’m not a fan of LeBron James.  I just don’t like his attitude most of the time, which, to me, consists of him constantly thinking no one could take his spot.  Granted, he’s a hugely talented basketball player, but contrary to the beliefs of the sports fans of Cleveland, he’s not [...]

I don’t care how great Chris Brown performed on the BET Awards, he’s still an abuser and I feel no need to congratulate him on anything.   And I’m sick of Facebook statuses that are licking his balls about some damn performance.  You know what performance matters?  Life. I’m behind as all hell in my statistics [...]
