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 I had no idea what time it was. Yesterday I got my new gadget, my eBookwise ebook reader. It’s so cute! And so far I’m giving it a total thumbs up (although I already have a list of things I want in the next OS update, like: font face changeability, categories, and an […]
In which I count my blessings this holiday season. (I’m a blessings-counter by nature.) (Which seems like a good quality, but it gave me a fucking panic disorder when I was too stupid to know when I was unhappy.) (Just sayin’. Pollyannaism ain’t always good.)

Gramma wanted one too (because the smell of frying corn tortilla intrigued her, and she’s liked the other things I’ve fed her so […]

In which this post is about books, bleeding, and the stupid seminar we’re taking at work. My aunt left a pile of paperbacks for me after my surgery. Mostly Koontz stuff, and a couple mysteries and political thrillers. Not the kind of things I usually read but it’s all I’ve got. I’ve been reading one […]
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 […]
