I have found my purpose in life. It is to make buttons.

I’ve been using every spare moment lately to make button designs on Photoshop. Well, compiling ideas for buttons and then actually making the button designs. Next, when my circle-punch is ready to pick up, I can ( Read more... )

All of a sudden, I have three completely different job prospects. I have no idea how any of them will turn out, or if I’ll get offered any or all of them, and if I do get offered one or more how I’ll respond, but I’ve decided not to fret about any of that for now.

I’m ( Read more... )

Sometimes I feel this overwhelming crushing sensation that’s partially in my head and partially in my heart. It feels like time is slipping by too fast, and has been slipping away pointlessly for some time.

Well, I can now proudly say I’ve jumped right into solo dining with both feet. I would call myself a pro, but ( Read more... )

A couple months ago, I wrote this list of reasons why I hate my job, and a list of reasons why my job isn’t so bad. The Hate side won, but it’s worth posting to remind myself of the less craptastic aspects of being completely unemployable and stuck here for eternity.

Today I overcame a big fear.

Well, not really a big fear. And I’m not sure I totally overcame it. But I took a step, and I guess that’s good. And enough.

I’m doing a show in Portland, so I’m eating on the expense account ( Read more... )

I feel like crap and I’m not sure why. Emotionally, not physically.

It’s not like my life is any worse than it’s been for the last year and a half. I still live with my mom. I’m still adjusting to losing most of my friends in the divorce. I still hate my job. I’m still ( Read more... )

It’s not even Monday.

I’ve had a headache for two or three days now. I’ve lost count. I should eat something, but my only choices right now are a nasty Weight Watchers TV dinner or fast food. I’m sure there are other choices, like going to the grocery store and buying ( Read more... )
