The Speech and the new VP Choice
I just want to say, quickly, that I will comment on both, but later. I have my pages due by Saturday, and unfortunately, that takes precedence right now.
Good Morning, Good Luck
I woke up early, having to finish my deadline, but not with edgy nerves and wound-up energy. The beagles and I cuddled and I allowed myself to wake slowly. The sun wears thick, gray clouds today. The neighbors left for work hours ago, so I listen to the intermittent creaking of their gate. Puck snores. [...]
Moody has a job
I just accepted a job offer working for a company that installs solar panels. The pay is less than I hoped for, although they promised me an increase. The Beaverton company was concerned with my schooling, so I had to nix them, although they seemed like really nice people. Also, they expected overtime. I’m not [...]
Interview with Company B
They are obviously a Portland company. For those of you who haven’t experienced Portland (or the west coast), it’s a laid back, we’ll get it done when we get it done kind of attitude. For someone like me, who prides themselves on getting shit done well and right, that can be a little frustrating, but [...]
Valentine’s prognosis
Val ended up staying at the Vet’s all freaking day. While it bothered me at first, the events with the rest of the afternoon kept my fears at bay. I phoned the vet around 3 (I dropped him off around 10) and they said they wanted to keep him a little longer in order to [...]
When it rains…in a good way
My interview went really well yesterday. D and I went out on Sunday night and bought new interview outfits. I had a nice suit from my interview with the Water Department in Orlando (see 2004), and it still fits, but it felt too stuffy. Then the suit I bought for my interview with my last [...]
Busy coming week….
Monday - Job interview in Beaverton, so it’s going to be a lot further than I would like to travel for a job, but if I can make most of it via public transit, that would make me happy. D also has an interview - at the exact same time. I goofed on this one, [...]
Hmmm…
The Bride of Chucky is going to be on AMC. Doesn’t this seem wrong to you?
Runsong
I spent most of last night playing with Soundstudio, stringing together a few songs for my run. I bought this book years ago, and have had many aborted attempts at getting a running program started for myself. And I love D - what ever I needed, he was willing to get. I have great shoes. [...]
Love the 70’s - a whine
I spoke with Calie last night. We have a Sunday ritual where we discuss the previous week’s activities and pump each other up for the coming deadline. I whined about our hellish hot streak with no AC. For those of you who live in the South, AC is a given. No one in their right [...]
I mopped the floor
I’m so domestic.
But I’m house-bound again due to my bloody cycle. And yes, I did mean bloody.
I wish I could get a hysterectomy to go - like french fries, only messier.
…. and that all made sense when I first wrote it.
More coffee…..
I change themes…
…like I change my pants.
I really do change my pants everyday. I promise.
The job hunt is kind of stalled right now. No one is replying to my resume submissions, and I’m starting to think that it’s what I have in my resume. So, I will spend the rest of the week working on that.
I saw [...]
Dancing Queens
Friday was fantastic. Miss Amandapants invited us out for dinner and dancing. Now, I loves to dance. I can shake my groove thing with the best of the them, but we haven’t been out dancing in eons. Going to the booty club with my sister doesn’t count. Well, it does a little. I danced to [...]
A little bit of politic….s
Let me reiterate for the record: I’m very liberal, voting for Obama. I think Bill Richardson would make an excellent VP. I am very anti-war. That doesn’t mean I hate the troops, and if you want to come back at me with that argument, stick it up your ass. Being a military brat, and the [...]
Best thing I’ve heard all day….
“You’re crazy, I’m gassy - deal with it!”
I love my husband.
French braids, cereal and flies and being crazy…
Flies have taken over my house. They glide and buzz through the air like small, drunk buses - thunking into my paper lanterns and computer screens. One landed on D’s face last night and I almost puked. He and I have become quite skilled in fly-killing. I try not to kill any bugs, I really [...]
Beagle Laps
Puck (the one running most of the time) likes to play chasey-chasey. Pip still doesn’t know what he’s doing with the whole thing. The resulting journey - one beagle running after another - and somehow, my cat (Valentine - the one who is sick right now) doesn’t feel the need to move.
This is a day [...]
Twit This!
- @evolutionofcat It grows on you. S.L.O.W.L.Y. but it does... give it more time. I hated it the first few times
- The new Gorillaz album is growing on me, but I know it is going to bore me in a few weeks. Oh well...time to dance !
- @amergina LOL I'm glad. It's just weird that a little span of inactivity and I will lose followers.
- I'm losing followers and I'm not even cursing! I'm actually working... hmm... perhaps I am too boring. Ahhh fuck it.
- @sbossinger LOL... well interpretation is a bitch. Didn't even happen to me. Someone was rude to my sister, so the claws came out.
- @DMcEachern Life is not fair. Survival of the most awake, I say!
- @DMcEachern WTF? Well then it is time to strike!
- On a training conference call. Yeah, that is why I am playing on Twitter.... la la la la !
- @DMcEachern Don't leave any blood if you bludgeon him. Or just put your headphones in
- The way you speak to people is almost more important than what you say. Some people need to be smacked in the face with some self awareness.
