Just finished talking to my mother. After a long reprieve, she is being laid off from her job; they let her come back temporarily after she was let go the first time, kept extending the deadline until I guess they couldn't do it any longer. But the good news is, one of the higher ups there made a phone call to some friends of his and got her ( Read more... )

And I know I have said this before in regards to my job, but this time I really mean it. This is the last straw. If I had any real savings or if I knew I could find another job immediately I would have quit right then on the spot ( Read more... )

I haven't worked all week ( Read more... )

I am back after several days of no internet connections (the bill must have come when we were in PA and got lost in the shuffle somewhere along the way).

Nothing too, too exciting going on. Work has been quiet except for another minor confrontation with Seth, much more subdued from the last one but which I walked away with the clear impression that ( Read more... )

One of those days that is way more interesting than a person can handle, by one o'clock I had had my fill and things need to be quiet now.

So, after several weeks of good steady work (which I was able to get up for everyday, thanks momentary normal sleep cycle :-)) we are back down to slow little drips and drabs. Liz will be going in tomorrow and I'll be in Wednesday to split the load between us (and I'll be left there alone with Seth, which i won't pretend to be very happy about), ( Read more... )

I am in a really great mood right now. Just got home like an hour ago after wandering around the city with Renee all night long, way too nice out to go home, it was like summer in Maryland today ( Read more... )

I have had yet another killer cold wreaking havoc on my respiratory system since about Saturday. I have had way too many of these this year so far, it really has to stop ( Read more... )

Someone else in my office building had two pick up trucks full of mulch out there today. I didn't ask but judging from the smell, I'd say that mulch must have been at least eighty-five percent horse shit. Let me fucking tell you, if I hadn't had to go to work I never would've gotten off the fucking bus when the doors opened and that smell punched ( Read more... )

One of the things I love the most about the new building  and the office space that puts Seth as far away from me as he can possibly be and still be in the same building. The less I have to see of this man during the day, the happier my work environment is.

For the many new people here who haven't heard me talk that much about him, Seth is someone ( Read more... )
