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…
Month: July 2010
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…
leaving…
So tomorrow’s my last day at my current employer’s. Nearly 10 years, all finished. I cleaned out my personal stuff last week and brought it home yesterday (OK, it’s still in the back of the car but the car’s in the garage which is part of the house). I never thought I’d retire from my…
It’s the little things…
So, I am doing laundry. YAY!!!! The new washer (btw, “warsher” is how it is pronounced sometimes in Indiana) was delivered and installed Thursday. I got as far as hearing the little tune it plays when you raise the lid but didn’t use it yet. (I was at D’s house so I got home late…
Warsher
So, the washing machine has been acting weird the last couple months. The gizmo inside of it that knows when the water is cold no longer functions (well, or something like that). So, no water comes out. Yay. (Wait, water’s necessary to wash clothes? Boo, then). Anyway, until Monday the water would eventually come out…
