I want to say that not much has happened over the last few weeks, but really it's been quite the opposite. Instead of having nothing to post about, I've almost had too much, and the resulting overload prevented me from even checking my friends-list, much less yapping about what I've been up to. But I have time now, so what the hell ( Read more... )

Last Spring, my supervisor let slip that he was pretty much over acting as my work team's lead instead of just being a middle manager, and said that they were opening the position up for applicants and that I should apply. Of course I did, because it's a good career move and an increase in pay grade, and the fact was back then I really wanted the ( Read more... )

I was very bad and took two days off to really do nothing. I was just kind of feeling low in general--feeling bad about work, feeling bad about my book, feeling bad about blowing off the gym to write, that sort of thing. But today I had a super-productive day at work and at the novel. The only reason I stopped when I did was because it was ( Read more... )

So last night I wrote about my MC having her birthday and her two remaining friends in the office getting her balloons and cupcakes, and taking her out to lunch ( Read more... )

A guy I work with moved to Chicago from Nashville last year, and he's a pretty okay guy. Last week, he quit smoking and we're all (meaning me and my fellow coworkers) trying to be really supportive of him. However, and as could be expected, he's in a terrible mood after six days of no smoking and is biting the heads off of everyone he goes near ( Read more... )

Feeling ambivalent about NaNo. My bosses told me at a bar night last Thursday that the supervisor position is mine, with five people under me--it's a matter of weeks. So that's an extra ten hours of work a week, plus working out, plus NaNo seems daunting. NaNo seems like the thing closest to the chopping block ( Read more... )

I haven't posted in awhile mostly because there's been little to say. It's like that car commercial where everyday in the same thing until you turn a corner and there's the outside world and a schnazzy new SUV waiting for you. Except for me, there's no car at the end of the 30 seconds. Well, maybe NaNo is the car in this situation. I'm plodding ( Read more... )

Again! Again I've forgotten my wallet at home, so I have no money to buy lunch. Like, not even change to get something out of the vending machine, and no ATM card to get more cash. This totally blows.

This is the tragedy that befell me yesterday, making yesterday one of my worst days ever ( Read more... )

I'd say I'm a pretty good worker. I get my shit done, and when I don't I fess up and try to make things right again. The latter is the reason I've been working on a huge project for the last four days, but at the end of this week I'll be so much better off--my customer will be happy, and so will I. But no matter what I'm doing at work, I'm ( Read more... )
