Ugh, my friends. UGH. So two weeks ago I kept getting headaches every day. Weird headaches. As in, all the symptoms of a migraine except for minimal pain. I ended up going home from work early nearly every day. Then last Tuesday (I think. It might have been Wednesday? Hmmm. I'd better make sure, because I have to enter hours on Friday. Bleh) I ( Read more... )

I thought about doing NaNoWriMo. Not for a novel, because my only ideas for novels are still incredibly nebulous. Rather, I wanted to work on that non-fiction book I've been wanting to write. But unfortunately, the amount of research I'd have to do would preclude me from being able to write 50,000 words. Then hymnia came up with a great idea-- write 50, ( Read more... )

I just got let go from my job. They said they decided to go in another direction. Meaning they wanted to hire someone with a degree in accounting. They knew when they hired me that I didn't have accounting experience. I'm kind of upset at how they handled this ( Read more... )

Apparently, that is. I started a nice long review of the Shakespeare Festival, and promptly lost interest after describing and critiquing one play. :P I guess finishing my thesis has sucked all my long-windedness out of me. Or something.

So, giving up on that idea. Instead, I shall complain about my job. Because that's what an LJ is for, right?

It's a slow day at work today (two of the three CPAs I work for are on-site with clients this afternoon), so I decided to actually update this thing. Hi. Anyone still there?

I'm actually really glad it's slow, because I was up until 2:30 last night reading The God of the Hive. Considering I started it at about, what, 10:15 PM (I had spent all day ( Read more... )

So, yesterday was the 1-week anniversary of my layoff. I didn't even remember until I was in bed for the night. It's been an interesting week ( Read more... )

Today was my one-year anniversary at work.

This afternoon, at 4:40, I got laid off.

Happy anniversary to me.

And I really should have told all you about it sooner, but I've been either incredibly busy or incredibly tired, and therefore haven't had the opportunity. In fact, I should be doing laundry right now, but I decided to tell you instead. :D ( Read more... )

Larry H. Miller, owner of the Utah Jazz and my own workplace, Megaplex Theatres, passed away today. He's been ill for quite some time-- in fact, it was only about a month after I started that he went into the hospital with a heart attack and complications to diabetes. Last month, he had both his legs amputated. His son replaced him as CEO at the ( Read more... )

Today at work, one of my coworkers (whom I really like) came to my desk to meter some mail. As she did so, she whistled 11 notes of a tune. A tune I immediately recognized.

"Kathy," I said, "why in the world are you whistling 'Theme From Flood'?"

She was very impressed. Especially as the 11 notes were from the middle of the song. She gave me a ( Read more... )
