Updates…

Took Scooby to the vet this morning. They think that him scratching himself so much (from his allergies) has given him a little infection, so I walked out of there with an antibiotic and prednisone. So yes, Scooby will be on Prednisone. I expect that by Monday he’ll be up all night vacuuming. It’s about [...]

What, me worry?

Short Answer: YES. Long Answer: Here is why I haven’t blogged lately. It’s all just a loooong string of worry. Worried about the stupid test (a week and a half to go!), passing it, failing it. Worried about work (a lifetime to go!), getting it all done in 40 hours per week. Big boss had [...]

Resent

It’s 3:30 here and I really resent the fact that I’m awake right now. (Well, it’s not the only thing, but it’s the most pressing because I’d like to be asleep instead!) Happy National Payroll Week, BTW (also known as Hug a Donkey Week). Later today (or ‘tomorrow’ if I get to go back to [...]

Updates, various and sundry…

1) Still haven’t scheduled my certification test. Today’s wrench is that I need someone boss-like to sign my authorization to take the test before I can schedule the damned test. And who knows how I’m going to get my hands on a funding source for this boondoggle. APA, please make this be slightly easier than [...]

Earthquake

So, I felt weird all morning, kinda dopey and sleepy. (Yes, I probably took the Ambien too late last night; tonight I’ll take it when I walk in the door at 6:30 and let the pieces fall where they may). So, when I was sitting at my chair and felt a gentle tremor, my first [...]

Crafty bugger…

So, last week I got an IM from my coworker. “The payroll geeks and I are going to (Mountain City) for a bead show, wanna come with?” These are mostly the same women that I went to dinner and the movies with a couple of months ago and I was ready for another girls’ outing… [...]

The last few days…

Here is what’s gone on the last few days: – Work was fairly calm, got caught up on a few things. Should have brought home the gigantic book I need to read in order to study for the CPP but didn’t. Oh well. Tried to finish a training exercise for work in report writing, but [...]

Today…

Woke up early. Arrrrgh. Got to work early. Double arrrrgh. Got caught(ish) up with work. Made some clients happy. Fucked up a few things. Planned to leave @ 5:30 (to make up for being in the overtime danger zone) Got caught up working on a report, got in the car @ 6:01 PM. (Sigh). (Report [...]

Restaurant Week finale (only a week late!)

Last Friday, Gene and I ate at a seafood restaurant that is owned by a company that owns a few other local restaurants here in Cheesecake City. I started with a melon and cherry tomato salad and Gene had gazpacho. Gene’s gazpacho was better, especially because he had it two nights in a row (two [...]
