In which it turns out that complaining does do you some good. Yesterday I felt all shitty and marginal and rejected and sorry for myself, so I wrote a big old whiny post about it. Within an hour of posting I’d had two heartfelt private emails and a long IM conversation aimed at helping me […]
In which NLW cracks me all the fuck the way up. The Ever-Handsome Mr J was out of town last night, so NLW called me and took me out to dinner at Pizza Hut. I love that about her. We talked about me, then we talked about her. Then we bought cranberry juice and chocolate […]
In which I accentuate the positive! (Yes, I’m feeling much better today.) It’s so nice outside today that I can barely stand myself. I’ve been sitting on the porch in the sun, reading. It’s so lovely! I’ve finished the back of my sweater, and I am in the process of finishing the front. I’ve used […]
In which it’s not just an old John Cougar song, it’s totally a sincere goddamn declaration of devotion. I have fallen in love with the math geek who does this comic: His name is Randall. His degree’s in physics and he did robot stuff at NASA for awhile. I’ve read his strips off and on… […]
In which the weather outside is frightful. No one has called (or emailed) to offer me a job today. This makes me sad. It’s been snowing since yesterday. We have a winter storm watch in effect until six o’clock. I swept off the porch and it’s cold and shitty out. My friend Snow needs a […]
In which I do something specifically because he told me to. He’s such a bossy kitten. I made chili today for the First Annual Blogger Chili Blog Off! (which was actually last Saturday, but punctuality is not really my strong suit). I more or less used this recipe, except today I used three kinds of […]
In which I’m warm clear through. This afternoon, I went grocery shopping with AmmZon and we bought a shit ton of food. We even bought ice cream, now that there’s a new fridge in the kitchen that actually keeps frozen food frozen. Then we walked up the street to Raybo’s house, took off our clothes, […]
In which I had an even better interview today! Today I interviewed here. There were two half-hour skills tests; Excel and Word. (I aced ’em both.) Then an hour-long interview in a conference room. The HR woman showed me detailed job descriptions for two positions and I want both of them, but the second one […]
In which I enjoyed the Superbowl more than I ever have before. (Well, except for that one time years ago when I watched it on coke, that is.) NLW called me up last week to invite herself over for Superbowl Sunday, because her house was going to be invaded by penis people. I discussed the […]
