In which I talk about work. I was informed today that I have received a raise. A raise of one quarter per hour. Yes, a whole quarter. Per hour! That’s two dollars a day, if you do the math! I haven’t gotten a raise of less than a dollar in years. But then again the […]
In which the weather went just plumb crazy. A massive storm rolled in this morning. We had 60-mile-an-hour-PLUS wind gusts, and the atmosphere was filled with tons of suspended dust. All the stuff on the porch ended up in a pile. Gramma went out and released our retired Christmas tree from its stand, and the […]
In which I get my way! Amazing! Today the guys at work gave me a UPS so I don’t have to shut my computer down at night. BOOYAH! They also told me not to learn from this event that bitching will get me my way in the future. I promised them most emphatically that I […]
In which I’m cranky and feel like complaining about work. Apparently the power went off at work last night. When I got to work this morning, the first thing that my trainer said when I walked through the door was that I had to turn my computer off at night. That annoyed the shit out […]
In which there’s early, and then there’s “It’s so early I’m a total retard.” I had to be at work at eight, so I got up at six-thirty. (!!!) It was so early that I actually forgot to wash my hair in the shower. I mean, hello. Thank God my normal schedule will be noon […]
In which I got a job within 48 hours, ’cause I’m cool like that. I got here Wednesday night. Thursday afternoon I had a phone interview. Friday morning I had facetime with the three principals, and before I’d even made it all the way home they’d called to hire me and to invite me back […]
In which Friday totally kicked ass, dudes. Yesterday my mom bought me four knitting patterns from Fiber Trends (including this one omg how cute is that?!). This makes me very, very happy. (It also means I’ll be knitting felted plush toys for the next five fuckin’ years, but there are worse things!) If that weren’t […]
In which I use the great power of the Internet to apply for jobs that are far away. Fairfield was being really cute this morning. People smiled at me in the post office for no good reason, and then I saw Bartender walking to work and she waved at me, and then I saw Baby […]
In which a very good question is asked. The whole maternal side of my family is converging on the ancestral home in Walla Walla, WA next month for Grandma’s 80-somethingth birthday celebration. In email discussions, both my aunt and my grandmother have mentioned that I might like to ‘come home.’ Gramma informs me, “You might […]
In which it’s good to be home. (First of all, let me just get it out of the way: I love my blue dog soooo much! K thx.) Saying “I had such a good time at Amma!” is so silly I’m not even going to say it. I didn’t have ‘a good time,’ I was […]
