I had a super, super strange dream last night and I just have to get it out ( Read more... )

I am increasingly becoming frustrated and depressed by our apartment. There's nothing wrong with the apartment per se, but the fact of it being an apartment is the problem. It's never been enough space and as time goes on, naturally, the more we accumulate, and then there's even less space. Though even without the stuff, it's just too small - it's ( Read more... )

I was going to write a proper entry much, much sooner and then just..forgot. Totally erased from the mind. But it's Thursday night, I'm home alone, and instead of another crappy survey, remembered there's actually another purpose to LJ.

Of course, it helps that I feel in a really awesome place right now, ha! Namely, work is going super duper, extra ( Read more... )

I don't know why the urge to just write/type strikes me so suddenly, but I guess that's just the way Thursdays go, while I'm home all alone.

I do have some news: the would-be thing that I alluded to a couple posts ago, is that I got a promotion at work. Boy-o is it not what I was expecting! I think I'm under a microscope or something. I must be. At ( Read more... )

Things have drastically improved. Well, at any rate, I'm no worse off, and certainly not in a place I thought I'd be. Things are looking up - I can't really go into details, more to the point that I don't want to get my hopes up. But things are going well, I'm generally positive (and that positivity is supported by those around me), and, dare I say ( Read more... )

Turns out, I am completely fucking terrible at keeping secrets. I'm not going to get into the particulars, it's very personal and non-essential, but I've essentially murdered a friendship I cared about deeply because I didn't realize what a complete blabber-mouth I am. That whole thinking before you speak.. turns out I don't do it nearly enough (or ( Read more... )

Working in a small size, non-chain store gives me the benefit of knowing everyone I work with, our workforce being so small. I work with basically the same 14 people every day/shift. We are very much more of a family. On top of that, our female-to-male employee ratio is about 3 to 1. 5 to 1 if you only count the "back room" team, which is where I ( Read more... )

I've been thinking a lot about letting go of anger. Which, FYI, is really super freaking difficult for me. I mean, most of the time the rage is what fuels me. Seriously, you may think I'm joking, but I'm not. Without being honest about how crappy things/people are I can't really be honest about the things and people that are wonderful. It's ( Read more... )
