This time tomorrow we’ll be up in the air. Yaaaay! There is still so much to do. I need to pack my carry on bag, finish packing my big bag and – of course – more work! After all the years where I felt like I was going it alone in payroll, it is so…

Is it too late to become a ballerina/astronaut/rock star?
Because payroll? Uuuuuugh. Worst. day. ever. Far worse than the day Gwen demoted me, even. I had a location manager absolutely lay into me. He was rude, downright abusive. I can guaran-fucking-tee that if I had spoken that way to the lowliest of his employees I would be on the street posthaste. The irony is…
A crazy dream…
So I dreamt (dreamed? one of those) that Gene and I were flying to Malaysia via Germany (which we are). I know our itinerary pretty thoroughly and I know that the planes are big ones (which YES is at least 10% of the reason I agreed to this silliness) and I am really really looking…
Week in review…
So I have tried like three times to write a post this week about how things are going. Sometimes I’d be in the middle of a sentence, decide “Ugh, I can’t even put this into type-able words,” say eff it and close down the Firefox window. I probably have a few drafts but anyway. The…
Payroll Princess
So, last week was National Payroll Week. (Yes, really. Payroll has a whole week… I think that maybe makes me 5-7 times cooler than the Easter bunny). We were too busy (you know, doing payroll!) to celebrate then but I arrived at work yesterday to find 3 mylar balloons, a basket of chocolate goodies and…
Wishes
I wish that I could meet Stephen Colbert. I would like to get a picture taken with him where I’m pointing at him with a crazed look on my face – a version of this one. I could totally be his New Atheist Friend. I wish that I had remembered to watch the opening games…
Mahjobiscrappis, August ’08
SO… We are outsourcing payroll again starting in October. The time between now and then is going to be chock full of stuff to do and it will be craaaazy but I am looking so forward to this change. It’ll really make my work like a lot easier and it will save me tons of…

Made it home from our trip through the Great Lakes region (well, Indianapolis and Columbus) about twenty minutes ago. So, so glad to be home.
Mahjobiscrappis, April edition
So, apparently my escape plan has not worked out since we are not going to VA anytime soon. Dangit. So, I have to made do with my current job (well, there’s always the option of another job in Cheesecake City but it turns out I’m actually pretty well paid. Oops). Gwen has been my boss…
Slacker, slacking off…
So I played hooky from work today. It was wonderful, like a little mini vacation that I didn’t have to actually go anywhere to enjoy. Gene worked a little, but once I sent an email to Gwen telling her how to print a paycheck, I was finished for the day. Gene and I went to…
