I was walking to work this morning, as I always do. My route takes me through the elementary school playground. The edge of the playground is lined with trees. It's also very dark, as this would be roughly 12:25 am ( Read more... )

Today marks 7 years at my workplace. It's crazy! I can't believe all of this time has passed. I used to evaluate yearly and decide whether I wanted to stick it out or not, but I've settled into a long-term plan now. I know that this isn't going to be my last job, but I'm enjoying the security right now. I have a good idea of what my next step ( Read more... )

I'm thankful for Glee and So You Think You Can Dance, having a stable job, and all of the people that I care about who care about me.

I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful holiday!

And now I need to get ready and go to work. I'm training a new staff member today.

I have a four-day work week this week and next followed by two full weeks and then two weeks off ( Read more... )

I've been looking forward to this week (more specifically the 15th) for some time. Even though I'll probably have to wait a week for things to be delivered, here's what I'm looking forward to ( Read more... )

One of my kids at work (surprisingly, one that I barely interact with) made a Mii of me on the Wii. She told me yesterday, so I checked it out this morning. It was pretty good...complete with goatee and hat. :D We already had a Joe in there, so she named me JoeBomb ( Read more... )

Work was crazy this morning. In the midst of everything, I noticed something hopping over by the staff bathroom. I had a thought that it might be a(nother?) frog (again?). I walked over and did not find a frog. Instead, there was a giant cricket. By giant, I mean bigger than any frog I had found this week. I killed the fucker. ;)

I caught a frog at work this morning. The jury is out on whether I caught another frog, or if I caught the frog another time. I'm like the frog whisperer or something.

I was at work this morning and noticed something moving across the carpet. I figured it was a giant spider and readied myself to kill it. When I got close enough, I realized that it was a small frog. Somehow a small frog had gotten into my workplace. I figured no one would believe me, so I found a cup and began the task of trying to catch the ( Read more... )

I feel like crap again, so I took tomorrow off. I woke up okay this morning, but felt horrible when I got in to work. Things got worse, and I ended up staring at a wall for 15 minutes, because I literally could not stomach doing anything else. I had a quesadilla around 5 am and started to feel fine, but was feeling a little iffy again by 6 am. ( Read more... )
