Okay, so that whole "I'll update on Tuesdays and Thursdays" thing isn't working.  One day a week is all I seem to have time for right now.  Which blows my mind, really.  Where the *&$% is all my time going?  Oh yes, that's right, the town that I just can't seem to escape.  Fuck you, Aurora.  (For what it's worth, that's an actual song title from ( Read more... )

Remember that position I was talking about all excitedly last week?  Yeah, it's been filled.  And not by me ( Read more... )

I moved over to headquarters about two weeks ago because they needed to take down my cubicle row and move it over to HQ as well, but then I wouldn't have anywhere to work at the old office.  The past two weeks have been utterly blissful.  Everyone's made comments about how I must be lonely and that whole bit, but I haven't been.  Not even in the ( Read more... )

In an effort to get more out of the little time I have at home, and indeed all of my waking time, I've taken to planning (at least roughly) most of my day.

Now don't go and have too much fun there!

I discovered today that my grandparents have invited my mom, little sister and I to vacation with them at their timeshare (or is that two separate words?) down in Puerto Vallarta for a week in October. I say "I discovered I was invited" because they've been coordinating this with my mom, not directly with me or my little sister--I'm not even sure ( Read more... )

I get two paychecks a month; one on the 15th (or the closest workday to it) and then one on the last day of the month (or again, the closest workday to it). The second paycheck, in its entireity (why does that look misspelled?) goes toward my rent. The first paycheck makes up the difference between my second paycheck and the actual cost of my rent ( Read more... )
