I feel invisible at work this week. People just walk by me and ignore me, like I'm already gone. I've been trying to train them on what I do, trying to show them what needs to be done with the things at my desk, but to no avail. They either don't hear me or don't care. Mostly, I feel sorry for the teams I support - because they're not going to ( Read more... )

Know what one of the major reasons I hate working in an office environment is?

I get in trouble for humming, singing, or whistling.

You heard me right, I get in trouble for it. It's not like I'm loud and obnoxious about it, or anything. I don't think I sound bad - maybe not always perfect, but I'd be blown away if someone actually thought I was ( Read more... )

This has been a quiet weekend, spent on getting Lorelei ready for her 1st day of 1st grade tomorrow, doing some video work and playing on PFB, knitting for the final installment of the One Skein Exchange, and knitting for myself (because recycled sari silk is beautiful, y'all). The kiddos and I went to buy fabric for them to make a blanket for ( Read more... )

I don't like Starbucks, the chain. It's trendy and arrogant, and entirely too prissy about coffee for my tastes. The employees buzz around like they've been fed caffeine and speed through an IV drip shortly before their shifts, and plastic-surgery smiles rule them all. They insist that you haven't ordered a large - it's a Venti. Wanna-be ( Read more... )

Seems like every dream I've had lately somehow circles around high school...I'm remembering high school, I'm in highschool, I've gone back to high school...

Last night, my boss from Children's was my class representative in high school, and my best bud at work (Angel) and the sister-of-my-heart (candledamachine) were my peers. We were going to skip school. ( Read more... )

I have "Sunny Came Home" running through my head for no reason today...hence my subject. Nothing like a little randomness to start everyone's day off right.

So, in my never ending quest to become an adult before I die, they may be some movement.

Number one: My darling husband has agreed that becoming a stay at home mom might be the very thing ( Read more... )

My husband seemed to find it very humerous that when he tried to wake me up this morning, I quickly threw the blankets over my head, created a little hole to breathe through, and promptly went back to sleep. Then he turned all the lights on in our room and said "Time to get up, honey...." in a sing-song, cheerful voice ( Read more... )

YAY for sweet dreams! :o ( Read more... )

Sickle Cell patient *cured* via Bone Marrow Transplant at Columbus Children's Hospital. I'm not saying anything other than that's where I work, that's the department I work in, and that is one AMAZING piece of news that should not be ignored or shuffled off the front page or reported by Heather (coughstupidcough) Pick. Sickle Cell is a horrible, ( Read more... )

1) If we're not supposed to be studying the Book of Revelations in this course, please do not force us to watch a movie about the Book of Revelations for TWO HOURS. For the love of all that's holy, do you know how hard it is to stay awake during that ( Read more... )
