Work whining.
I'll concede that my job is not fantastic. I'll even agree with people who look at my place of employment and the way we've hemmorrhaged time, money and people and think, "that's messed up". I'm exhausted by my co-workers who find nary a single positive thing to say. It is increasingly difficult to muster up any kind of upbeat attitude or to try ( Read more... ) -
Star Trek: A not remotely close to professional view.
The latest Star Trek flick is not the best thing to grace movie screens. It is not more cunningly scripted or acted than most sci-fi/action "blockbusters". It does however have John Cho, who I love like a third husband (Eric being first, Colin being second). As Sulu, John Cho wields a large sword and does battle with the baddies, smiting them.

I hit the downswing today. I despise these times, when I realize it's probably been approaching and I was once again too stupid to see it. I finally like my job, only to feel ripples of uncertainty as the economy fails to settle. The doomsayers come in with their coupons and cries of "are you closing? How horrible!" Worse are the people who ( Read more... ) -
There's snow here.
We got the first real snow of the year. I give that label to snow that sticks overnight, in case you were interested. When Eric saw it falling at around 8pm last night, he suggested a little walk. I was skeptical at first, if only because I've been nursing a cold for the last month. It was fun though, we talked about our future plans regarding ( Read more... ) -

This damn headache threatened to ruin a perfectly wonderful romantic dinner. While I did enjoy my venison and cheese plate, I know I won't be getting the nookie that both of us were (probably) hoping for. I hate bright lights, and even the glare of this screen is blinding. I'm going to bed ( Read more... ) -

The holidays are upon us. When I say us, I mean those of us who've damned our souls to hell by working retail. I've been in Christmas mode since just after Halloween. I have to give the store some credit, despite sending us "Jingle" music (gag) in early October, we were not really expected to have it out until after the first of our self- ( Read more... ) -

I know we are still riding the Barack Obama euphoria train, but I just want to send this out into the world ( Read more... ) -
That's wine with an H
I decided NOT to post this on facebook. There are just too many people I work with there, and I know they would miss the point and skip right to the being pissed off. However, I need to put it somewhere, and where better than a place no one ever reads? Is there a way I write this so it doesn't come off all "I rock and you guys suck"? I tried ( Read more... ) -
Quickly.
I'm at the end of another fruitful week of work. Tomorrow, I'll sleep in (maybe until six or seven) and do some grocery shopping, perhaps take in a movie and then on Sunday I'll go back to work. I had high hopes of recreating the GOLDEN IPT schedule, but evidently, right now, I'm still needed on Sundays. See, I am appreciated! My super cool ( Read more... ) -
No bon bon shaking for me, thanks.
I'm not sure I claimed work happiness here or if that was facebook, but I did. I claimed to be happy. Can any of you say JINX? I knew you could. Lesson learned, never again will I admit to 1. Happiness or 2. Contentment or 3. a belief that people actually appreciate me. Guess it's time to start looking into grad schools and figuring out how ( Read more... )
