Well, my day began with me ( Read more... )

Yesterday, Dorothy surprised me greatly by announcing that we would be having a prospective volunteer coming in today. She said that this "gal" was thinking of coming in once a week to help out. Also, I was tasked with training the newcomer. Now, knowing me, I suppose most of you can guess what the first question came to my mind was. No, not " ( Read more... )

"American eyes/ American eyes/ View the world through American eyes..." Hmmm, I think I need to stop listening to Rage Against the Machine. I've been listening to their stuff a lot recently, and I'm beginning to see the effects. I mean, it's one thing to ( Read more... )

Okay, now I know that most of you who read my blog have already heard my feelings about the whole "triangle symposium" mess. However, most of that was venting. I would like to take this time to thank all my friends... well, most of my friends who listened to me vent my hatred ( Read more... )

Heck yes! I purposefully came to work early this morning and not only managed to score (at least I think) some brownie points with my boss, I also was in the office when she arrived! Ha ha! It made my morning.

Just to preface this post: I wrote this during the summer. I was originally going to post it on my LJ then, but I refrained because of the rather incendiary nature of the post. However, I've finally decided that it should be posted so I can get it off my chest, so to speak. Just let me say that I wasn't really thinking of anyone in particular ( Read more... )

Short post today, folks. I was just wanting to comment on something that I've found to be particularly odd lately. Okay, I don't think I talked about it much, but I really wanted an on-campus job last year. If for nothing else, it would have really helped to have some extra money towards my school supplies and, yes, towards my classes as well. ( Read more... )

Sometimes I think I'm completely unfit for this time period. I mean, I LOVE technology, and all the beautiful conveniences it has brought about, but... sometimes I feel a little out of place. I don't know, maybe with my dreams of becoming a writer, I yearn for a time period when "men of letters" were a bit more respected. Maybe I just like capes ( Read more... )
