My co-workers are predominantly female. Today was the last day for two of the guys. One had gotten fed up and decided to go back to teaching after eight gruelling months. The other guy was a transplant that we were borrowing from N.C. office ( Read more... )

Rise up all ye that are shackled by the garments of oppression. Cast them down and join me in a celebratory dance.

Taint nuthin better than splashing in a puddle... wish I wasn't wearing work clothes though.
Sat at lunch yesterday watching the rain fall in steady sheets and forming pools (aka lakes) in the parking lot. It was mesmorizing to see ( Read more... )

I have a problem, yes I admit it. I'm a gaming geek. HFS & Amtgard were my foray into the LARP world but my RP needs weren't being full-filled. And since starting this job I've found two gaming groups that meet during the week. Infrequently we've played MERP (middle earth) and most recently 3rd ed. DnD. Still not enough ( Read more... )

This week I made plans to make my fourth big trip for the year. Early in the year I flew to Seattle and drove back to Waco. Last month I went to Disney World with dad, Cory & his sister and no sooner got back but was on a plane to Denver ( Read more... )

The last two months of my life are mostly a blur. Too much work, pressure, no time for the little things. And finally I feel closer to be out of that maelstrom and into something I'd like to call "normal ( Read more... )

Saturday I worked 10 hours and then went to my high school friend's wedding. She looked gorgeous. It was a good night in all. The place they picked was nice, lots of friends & family, and I managed not stick my foot in my mouth. Mae went with me and was loads of fun with her rolling commentary. Why did I ever let her get away? Oh yeah!! She ( Read more... )

This week was so frustrating. Besides the funeral & work timelines there is a realization that my work environment may be more than I can stomache. If the VP sends an email out that everyone who can help out needs to... where the hell is everyone? I came from a small company environment and other people told me that's how it used to be here. ( Read more... )

I picked up Mae from the airport and we drove over to the funeral after lunch. I was fine up until I saw Rachael & Michael. Everything hit and I curled up in Mae's arms. She was really wonderful and we did our share of supporting one another. The funeral was nice. Short, sweet & to the point ( Read more... )

My best friend Rachel just called and her father died in a car accident last night. I've known her & her family for about 16 years. I didn't think news like this would hit me so hard. He was always good to her and loved her. Rachael's wedding is May 18th, they just got the marriage liscense ( Read more... )

For a while I've been keeping things quiet on the surface. Too much going on to really bother with one thing at any given moment. This year has put a lot of thoughts in my head to make me consider my direction and motivations ( Read more... )
