Crazy shit I have done lately: 1) Posted 8 month old draft on blog for no conceivable reason 2) Lost my mind and good manners and was extremely rude to someone in a customer service position. (Seriously rude. And now I have to attend the Best Picture Showcase in disguise). I’m blaming point #1 on…

Dear Immune System…
Dear My Immune System: It’s December, so it’s time for me to make my annual reminder: There is no getting sick in December. There is altogether too much to do! (Sidebar: People of Earth! Can we please move Christmas to July for real? I get that you want to decorate your house, your car, your…
Pyle
So, a week or so ago I had a dream that my mom gave us a dog. It was a dachshund/yorkie mix (a dorkie). I was upset because I didn’t really want a fourth dog and if we got one I wanted a corgi (which is true, I want a corgi so bad!). And as…
Just write, just wrong
“So what are you good at?” she asked me. Almost without hesitation, I replied “I’m an excellent writer.” A few minutes later, she asked me, “How would you feel if you’d been able to have a child?” With hesitation, I told her that I thought I’d be a good Mom, but had reservations and have…
This week
Hi all. So, here’s what is up with me in no particular order: 1) Saw my dermatologist last week, she’s advocating coal tar as this visit’s miracle cure for my psoriasis. Guess what smells terrible? Coal tar. On the bright side, it is working I think. I’ve got coal tar lotion, some kind of mystery…
And here’s my day
(First Day in New Job! New Desk! Same Everything Else!) 1) Got to work early to catch up with stuff, prepare for back to back training sessions 2) Ran web meeting with client (which I’d totally forgotten about until I saw it in Outlook – “CALL CLIENT NOW!”) 3) Trained 1st client on new time…
They say it’s my birthday…
Well, most people did anyway. Turned 36 yesterday. What the hell? (Here’s what I know: I’d better be in a place in my life where I can go someplace amazing to turn 40 at, to soften the blow. I’m not very good at getting older, the entire concept genuinely puzzles me. More about that later.)…
Indiaaaaana, you old banana….
So! I just got back from my visit to Indianapolis. I cannot even put into words how wonderful it was. I hadn’t been home in so, so long. A ridiculously long time. How did I go nearly 2 years without seeing my family in Indiana? And it wasn’t enough time, even though I could have…
Insane Thing I Said on Thursday
So, I believe I have said before that I say at least one crazy ass thing per day at work. Thursday, the Vatican elected the new Pope. My manager said the new Pope’s from Argentina. I stood up, waved my arms over my head and said “I’M THE NEW POPE-A!” I may or may not…
Do Payroll
(This is one of the reasons why I don’t write here as often anymore…almost my only topic of conversation is work. Good days at work, bad days at work, promotions, hating my job, loving my job, the devil known as year-end, etc. Boooooring). Anyway, today was a crappy day. Really, the last week has been…
