I always find it a little strange that people all wait until the same day to comment on my weight loss. It makes me feel good when people mention it but I also feel a bit awkward talking about it, not sure why. Today three separate people talked to me about it and all of them wanted to know my secret. Am I on a program? What am I doing that's ( Read more... )

After writing off the Buffalo job since I haven't heard from them in over a month and really sort of expecting a rejection letter any day, I just got an email to set up a phone interview! It hasn't really sunk in yet but man has this been one up and down ride with them. But help! I haven't interviewed in almost two years and feel really rusty, ( Read more... )

I have no idea how to handle my boss and when she starts the politics/drama but as I write this I seem to be able to talk my boss down from this week's drama. She takes things way to personally when it deals with certain people, people on the other side, people she doesn't personally like. She sees everything as a personal attack and I tend to ( Read more... )

Perhaps I shouldn't have sent a follow up email to the Buffalo job and just waited patiently for their answer because now there's a new waiting game with new scenarios as to why I have not heard back. Kathy had been really good getting back to me almost immediately to most of my emails, so it's strange not to have heard back from her. Of course ( Read more... )

I have been on a huge reading kick lately. It's strange how these things cycle. I'll go for a few months where I'm constantly reading and then switch to where no matter how interesting the book, I can't seem to pick it up. Right now I'm on a 4-5 books per week habit. These are great literary novels or anything but so far I've enjoyed most of the ( Read more... )

For the past few weeks, Erica and I have been day dreaming new lives. She hates her job and day dreams about not working or getting a new one, I like my job but am so damn homesick for friends and family. So we day dream about me getting a job up in Buffalo and while I have been looking, I just really haven't expected much to come from it. Well ( Read more... )

Tomorrow will be our first 100+ day and it's suppose to last for a while, today's pretty close as my weather thingy says it's 99.  It wouldn't been so bad if the humidity wasn't so high but fortunately man invent A/C.   It makes me wonder how the heck they survived before it, especially back in the days where shorts didn't exist and woman wore 10 ( Read more... )

This morning was stressful and a bit creepy in a deja vu sort of way.  Every month on the first Monday we hold an orientation program that I'm basically responsible for running/organizing.  Two weeks ago when it was originally scheduled to run, I was sick and not going to go into work because I was that sick.  Since we didn't have a plan in place ( Read more... )

I'm on another reading kick again which I think started by the new feature of the local library, the ability to "check-out" ebooks. I'm not sure why but I really enjoy reading books on my computer. I've basically read all the books they have on the system (not many right now) that seemed remotely interested and I've tried out a few new genres. ( Read more... )

I'm really beginning to consider replacing my alarm clock. It doesn't necessarily need replacing at it still serves its function but some of the buttons are close to dying, it's dirty and honestly I think it has served valiantly and it's time for it to retire. But I can't seem to part with it, I've had this very same alarm clock since middle ( Read more... )
