I saw this: http://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-12288/sick-of-your-job-5-signs-its-time-to-quit.html and I have all of their signs depending on how you define "abuse" and i was also talking to a friend that was visiting from California and ( Read more... )

Landlord's dude said they have to get parts to fix the furnace... it will be a few days. That sucks! but since it's cold they are leaving me a few portable heaters and it should be between 65-70 when I get home instead of the 42 it was while they were looking at it. I guess it's my electric bill that's going up not the gas bill... but as long as I' ( Read more... )

After the horrible week I had I was almost ready to write off the cost of my VIP pass to the Pittsburgh Bellydance festival but I had already scheduled the time off for the Zill class that was tonight and it was the one class I really wanted to attend so I went and as my luck runs I had a totally crappy drive to the studio followed by 45 minutes ( Read more... )

This is the story of just how the past few days have managed to suck so freaking bad I’ve cried a few times and have this overwhelming desire to destroy something… I’m pretty sure everyone that follows my LJ knows I’m not thrilled to be living around Pittsburgh and that as much as I used to love my job and actually looked forward to going to work ( Read more... )

So I happened to post that I was bored and had nothing to do this weekend on a social networking site and I get an invite to a rave from a guy that is a friend of a friend. I think it's kind of funny since I'm 43 and not really the rave type as far as I know. I do the Metal, Goth and Industrial thing because that's part of who I am, but I've never ( Read more... )

As much as I enjoy dancing... I'm not really sure I like the teacher. She is an alright dancer physically but here teaching style and technique seem to be missing something. I might be spoiled by my previous experiences at Pennsic and the number of really excellent dancers there but it's not like I have a choice of teachers in this area so it's her ( Read more... )

After the crap on Friday and a few issues earlier in the week I had a pretty decent weekend. I went to a pot luck dinner at an acquaintance's home, I made Lemon bars and Coconut Meringue cookies and managed to foist all but 3 Coconut cookies on people... I so didn't want to get stuck with all that sugary yumminess, that would have been too tempting ( Read more... )

Talking to my sister, a decent run (almost 5k) and some pasta with homemade pesto and things are better. She agrees that I really need to get moving a little faster on my escape from "the Pitt" but not so fast as to get into a worse situation. I hate being all PMS'y and emotional because you start out in a crappy place and when things go wrong it ( Read more... )

It's bad enough that I'm not happy here but I was working my way to being content until I could move. I was getting my ducks in a row and sorting out stuff I didn't want or need to either be donated or sold ( Read more... )

Not much going on at the moment, the bruising on my back is all but gone, I misread an e-mail from my yoga teacher and ended up missing two classes since I thought they were canceled. I feel sort of down... I think it could be a post-pride drop, I haven't had that much fun in a while and it was nice being around people that didn't spend a lot of ( Read more... )
