I'm importing more songs into my IPOD and since I'm stuck here at the computer . . . I should update. It's my birthday today. I'm not really excited about it - I've gotten to the age where they're more annoying than anything, but my brother and the kids did take me out to a very expensive brunch with a knock-out Bloody Mary so that was good.

I wish that subject line were about my sex life, but it refers to my erratic posting habits, as usual. It's been way too long since I last posted and so much has happened since then. For one, about 5 days after I wrote the last entry, I told my boss, the rat bastard, I was quitting my job! Yes, on October 25, I joined the ranks of the great ( Read more... )

Well, here I sit in East Syracuse, NY. My class is going OK - nice people, but I'm already exhausted. Ugh, two more days of this. Tried out my GPS when I got here last night - I brought it with me and stuck it in the rental car. I didn't use the address of the Embassy Suites - I just used the Lodging option. It got me to the Embassy Suites ( Read more... )

Well, not really - but the good news is, I heard from a recruiter today!! After the little effort I've made so far, that's a miracle. This is for the job that would be 20-30 minutes from my house. In my whole adult working life post college, that is the closest I have ever lived to work. Not to say I have the job, but the guy was drooling over ( Read more... )

Gracious, it's September already. How time flies when you're looking for a new job. Yes, the rat bastards finally got on my nerves enough that I've been putting out feelers and sending out resumes. My old company wants me back if this one job comes through (knowing my old company, I'm not holding my breath) and I think I might be getting an ( Read more... )

I should be cleaning, unpacking, fixing a dessert for tonight, la, la, la, so instead I'll update LJ. Lots of stuff going on - JM on Smallville, yikes. I've tried to like that show and just can't. Tom Welling has no charisma, none. So I have mixed feelings - I'm really glad JM's getting out there and hopefully, gaining a wider audience which in ( Read more... )

I've been remiss - it's almost a month to the day since I updated. I've been busy reading everybody else's journals - so much interesting stuff that I've not been very motivated to update my own dull doings. But, what the hell ( Read more... )

Look, look - new icon. Isn't it gorgeous. What is ironic is that I recently said one of my pet peeves with fanfiction (in response to St. Salieri's post) is the overuse of the verb "smirked" and, yet, here is a perfect illustration to my mind. And it almost makes him look like he has dimples. I am a sucker for dimples.

The weather is really sticky and humid here which just makes me grumpy as hell on top of being depressed, because of my nasty boss. My sister-in-law pointed out to me that my boss is probably treating me like a lowly Teaching Assistant since he used to be a professor, which may be true, but still sucks. I've also taken to calling him Rat Bastard ( Read more... )

I was driving to a client site the other day and while stopped at a traffic light, I checked out my lipstick in the rear-view mirror. Since I'm so short, I had to tilt my head back and when I did, I saw something glint in my nose and I thought what the hell was that thinking maybe I'd inhaled some glitter, but when I looked closer I realized it ( Read more... )
