I went for my follow-up to my periodontist today and came out with stitches. Weird man! He asked me what I thought and I said I'd like the gum to have been brought down a bit more, but I didn't care about the placement of that tooth because I didn't want braces again. He was a bit concerned with the placement because it's 1mm out of synch or ( Read more... )

For work, I've had to do some research on sustainable agriculture and the like, including Eric Schlosser and his Fast Food nation book so I've read some excerpts and am disconcerted... for two reasons ( Read more... )

Pretty busy at work today. I need to update my resume since I haven't since starting my job at the Embassy. Although I think now it will look like all I am qualified for is to be a PA or Event Coordinator, two careers I don't fancy ( Read more... )

Work is hard and I'm not doing very well. I have made more than a couple not very small mistakes.

I don't mean to belabor this but the passage of time is really getting to me. Every day crawls by at a disgusting pace, but at the end of the week, as Friday draws to a close I think, "what? The weekend? The week just began." I don't like this. And then I mark down the days on the calendar at the Y and realize it's October and I've already ( Read more... )

I wonder what it's like to be a kind person. Someone who truly cares and truly does things for other people selflessly. Even if not selflessly but just to make another person happy for their own benefit. By that I mean, someone who does something simply because they want to be kind (because that's selfish, not selfless ( Read more... )

Thank you to everybody for the congratulations! I don't particularly know what I will be doing yet. I just know I'm going to work for a government contractor, a really big one with several locations in the country. I start tomorrow. I'm a little nervous but since I don't really know what to expect, I can only be but so nervous. But I have my ( Read more... )
