Busy Busy
Since I've been back in the work force, life has been incredibly busy. There are some pros, I've discovered, to the crazy schedules of retail and food service. But I'm really enjoying my regular business hours, Monday through Friday, 8 a to 5 p. I just wish it wasn't a 40 minute commute. The pay makes it worth it ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: Unlikely Benefactor
If it all had to go to organized charitable foundations, I would probably divy it up between Susan G Komen and the American Red Cross. If all I had to do was just GIVE IT AWAY, I would send an awesome birthday gift to my nephew, due in November. I would give some to my brother and his wife. I'd give a chunk of it to my best friend (hoping that he ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: Jury Duty
It was a civil case, an auto accident with injuries. The jury ended up awarding basically just medical bills, and part of her claim for lost wages...some $18K. This woman was seeking $250k and her complaints included emotional damages and other stuff like that. Basically, the wreck tweaked her back...
While I would have been happy not to award her ( Read more... ) -

Happy Chance
I am glad to say that I will be re-entering the work force tomorrow morning at 10 AM. And although I am being brought in as a temp, they have made it clear to me that not only are there a full 40 hours a week for me, but also that they fully intend to make me full time/permanent when they decide which of the 3 openings I would best fill. It is an ( Read more... ) -

Its pretty much not worth it to keep my LJ account active.
Still waffling about possible deletion.
That is all. -
Direction
So, frustrated as I am with my job(s) situation...I got online to start looking around to see if I could find anything I think I'd like to do in the area. And ended up filling out my FAFSA form, and submitting it. The school code I provided was for KSU, and when it asked the all-important question of whether I'd be persuing a degree in elementary ( Read more... ) -
Reflections on Love
In a world that is as depressed and gloom-filled as the one in which we live, it should be wildly important to feel and express love as often as you can experience the emotion. When there seems to be little such thing as *good* news, we should let love permeate our lives ( Read more... ) -
Fell Down the Stairs, Redux
I spent last night in the ER. I was taking Elliott's night time bottle down stairs for a rinse, and to kiss Josh goodnight, as we had quarrelled before I put the baby down, and refused a good night kiss at that time. If I had kissed him while he was in the nursery, I probably would have just rinsed the bottle in the upstair bathroom and gone to bed ( Read more... )
