It's 80 degrees in my office right now. The little plant on my desk dropped a bunch of leaves over the weekend in protest, sadly it is not acceptable for me to drop excess clothing so instead I will complain in my terribly neglected Livejournal. I miss the LJ community! Maybe I can lead by example and post more here, less in The Other Place.

My good mood was a harbinger of DOOOOOOM.
Health care is being cut at the end of the month. We're cutting the entire production team and will start outsourcing all of our printing.
My sassy subordinate is being cut, my friend Elo in the art department, my friend Bailey in shipping/receiving.

I'll know more later.

Yesterday after work I did a little spring cleaning in the garden.
I pulled out the bolted lettuce, the withered pepper plants that never produced, the sorta-cute weeds that pop up all the time, and I plunked down some flowers. The courtyard sucks for vegetables, I just have to live with that. The lemon tree has given up the ghost. It was a brave ( Read more... )

In an awesome and strange turn of events my (favorite) ex-boss is coming back to work with us! She was laid off at Viz a few weeks ago and Bossman Supreme swallowed his pride and called her up.
This changes my feelings about everything. Tracy started at CB just about a month before I did when the company was only 30 people. We saw it through the ( Read more... )

My suspicions were confirmed, Green Day is leaving (right before their new album comes out, ouch!).
I'll know more on Monday.

Whee!

Can't this just be over yet?

I just had/am having a mini-breakdown about how shitty and stressful my work/money life is right now.
Blah.
At least my regular life is good. Too bad nothing works without the money part.

Today is turning out awful as I knew it would (see forthcoming twitter shipment). I'm not entirely sure how it's going to play out, but it's not good, there's never good news from work.

This interview with Christopher Hayes from the Nation is interviewey. I like listening to him on Olbermann and it's nice to hear a bit more of what he has to say. ( Read more... )

I had such a fantastic time on vacation and it left me in such a good mood that I am trying to make a shift in my thinking and stop hating and obsessing on my crappy job but they make it so hard!
I am greeted with almost 300 emails. This was expected. I whittle them down to the 30 or so that I can do anything about now and start plodding through ( Read more... )
