Just popping in to share what is-for me, anyway-a momentous bit of news:
I start my new job April 1, 2008.I had a good run at Countrywide, and I'm proud of the work I did. If I stay much longer, I don't think I could say that anymore. I'm tired of stagnating, and with the last round of layoffs, and "Do even more with even less" mentality, well, it' ( Read more... )

TMJ feeling a bit better. Still tense, but I managed a grilled cheese sammich on Texas toast today for lunch. Sure, it's soft food but on wide bread. Hooray! Hopefully my chiropractor follow-up tonight will further speed healing ( Read more... )

Had a great time watching "Real Women Have Curves" with xkookykrys, jertzie and (I hope I'm remembering this right) Pat. Charming movie, if slightly uneven. Many chuckles were had, but it ( Read more... )
