My new baby
Weighs in at a whopping 5 lbs, is about 8 months old and tends to meow in my ear to get me up at sinfully early hours. Her name is Iris ( Read more... ) -
Whaaa?
Okay, what is it about offices and their constant showering. No, I don't mean the bathing kind. Weddings, baby, engagement. Sheesh. I took this job to make money, not spend it ( Read more... ) -
Still here and still bitchin'....
Actually, I have very little to bitch about lately. I finally got a raise. Of course I'm still making a lot LESS even with the raise than I was before but at least they rewarded my hard work with what they thought was appropriate. I'm not even being sarcastic here. I am, however, looking for a new job ( Read more... ) -
Gah!
Try explaining taxes to a kid that's busted her ass for two weeks only to find out that her employer (fuck you very much City of Rochester) holds back a week. By the time they finished taxing her, she barely had $75.00. Jackasses--no wonder they have trouble filling these spots some years ( Read more... ) -
'Baby's' First Work Day...
My daughter started her summer job today. It's a recreation center and she said the first day went well--apparently they get assigned kids and she's responsible for the daily schedule, including reading activities and games and art, which sounds like excellent experience for her. She's already planned to go through her books at home because she ( Read more... ) -
Sigh...
The lazy days of summer are upon us at last! I've been feeling rather spry, although my back twinges a bit. I'm still holding off on more radiation--and I can't have any now at any rate because I'm on chemo right now and they don't recommend 'mixing' the two. And the pain's not really that bad, really or at least nothing Ibuprofin can't dull ( Read more... ) -
So many, so many...
Have been reading like a fiend and have recently finished a ridiculous amount of books. The best had to be 'Jack Knife', written by Virginia Baker. I've always been morbidly fascinated by Ripper lore and this book has a nice Steampunky/Victoriana twist to it that I simply loved. It's her first novel and she should be quite proud of her efforts, ( Read more... ) -
News of the day...
Sadly, I can't think of any save for the fact that I actually ate solid food today and managed not to throw it back up. Hopefully my pants will stop falling down now because I can't afford alterations OR new pants.
Other than that, I truly dig my new pain patch.
I go lay down now... -
Some days I'm glad I'm a failure...
At least at selling novel length series' books. Those poor embattled writers! I just browsed through yet another authors comment pages and HELLO! Do people honestly think an author owes you a book a year? Do you honestly get that bloody wrapped up in a character that you'll quit reading an author because they killed a character off? You are? Well ( Read more... )
