So, by rights, today should have been cuh-ray-zee busy at work. I have several new clients “going live” tomorrow, making it necessary that I spend today making sure their year to date payroll data is spot on perfect. Therefore, it sure was a pain in the ass the way today ended up going. Spent the…

This will probably end up as a rant…
WTF…!!! I am so fuckkkkkkking pissed off. So I finally called Former Boss Gwen. We had a loooovely chat about my new job and how things are going at my former employer. Last payroll, the new payroll clerk had a hard time of it because of technical issues with the files. It wasn’t anything I…
Funny….
Lest all of you think life at Chateau LaineyD is all stress and sadness, here is a cute conversation to dispel that rumor: So, Gene and I watched some TV (courtesy of Hulu, XBox and the mysteries of technology), mostly stuff from USA Network (Burn Notice, Royal Pains). Me: “So, do we have anything left…
August already
The calendar is wrong, it says today is July 30 but I think August is here. I’d hoped that August wouldn’t be such a…trial this year, it wouldn’t be the hardest month of all 12 (only baaaaarely beating out January) but I think that this may be the way the next 60 or so Augusts…
The (short) height of laziness…
I haven’t checked my email in days. (Yes, I check my work email and my Gmail email, but not my “grownup” email. There’s an email from Former -!!- Boss Gwen waiting on me and I just can’t go there). Had a dream last night that I went to my old workplace and automatically sat down…
Is today my birthday and no one told me?
So, I don’t know how to explain this, but the new job rocks. Raaaaaawwwwks. Did I mention that the company buys all of us lunch on Fridays? I heard this and was pleased – my previous employer was a restaurant company so there was always food around. I was looking quite forward to whatever the…

Is it Wednesday yet? Is it time for dinner yet? How about bedtime? I am so tired. Working is hard. On the bright side, I’m learning a lot about the software I’ll be using/supporting. My job is going to be setting up new client payroll data in the software. I’m not sure how much I’ll…
Jobby Job
So, today was my first day at the new job. I think it’s going to be great. (Or maybe it’s just going to be OK). (But I think it’ll be good). Good things about new employer/new job: 1) Employer has not filed for Chapter ANYTHING. In fact, if anything they have too much work! (Supposedly,…
I heart unemployment…
or at least temporary unemployment. So, Wednesday was it. I got to work a little early and worked my ass off (seriously, I was in the middle of writing an insurance procedure at zero hour – never finished, btw) until Boss Gwen announced that lunch was ready. She had ordered a huge range of Chinese…
One sick puppy…
So, Betty has a lump on her face. Actually, let me start this way: Twenty years ago my family had a dachshund named Max and he had a lump in his crotch. It was a lymphoma and Mom and Dad spent a lot of time and money getting Max the best treatment possible, including a…
