Another book, another test...new insights.
By insights I mean, "OOO! OOO! I know! I know! Maybe I should be a career counselor!" The irony is hilarious. I laughed out loud. Of course, I am enduring mood swings, so it's probably not that funny. "Strengths Finder" is a freakin' awesome book though, for anyone who needs a little help in that area. It has an accompanying online test, ( Read more... ) -

I'm having such a negative day! Worse, I think it was triggered by filling out job applications. I can't remember standing out at doing anything but the work I've done at my last job. I can recall very, very few specific accomplishments in my work. I can't remember any semi-major problems I've solved. I found meeting planning/scheduling ( Read more... ) -

dream jobs, volume 1
I'm in love with the idea of writing and editing. Aside from being underqualified on paper, the second-biggest reason I'm doubtful of making a career out of it is that it doesn't take much for writing and editing to drive me crazy.

I'm hoping this time things will be different....

The thought of celebrating Independence Day is really depressing this year. I'm unable to summon even a crumb of patriotism. I'm so fed up with the corruption, manipulation, deceit, greed, short-sightedness and irresponsibility of the administration and corporations that make up the driving force of our economy. It makes me so helpless and angry ( Read more... ) -
ok, here's the plan...
So, Brett and I decided if either of us died early, we would come back as a kitty. We'd know it was the other because we'd find a kitty in a shelter that would come up and immediately lick our nose ( Read more... ) -
Crucial wedding decisions
So Tuesday morning, Brett woke up and informed me he'd been thinking very seriously about our wedding. He told me he didn't think we should have live chickens at our ceremony. I said, that's just fine by me.
Yeah......don't have a wedding. Just elope.
