The Woodlands Biotch

forget the insults.  If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.
i woke this morning to find that i had, in the tiniest of ways, aided a friend in her path to realisation that it really is okay to admit that some people suck, and to stand firm in your beliefs. and i’m glad i could [...]

i don’t do this one enough. i admit it. i mean, on the one hand, i do. i quit working for “the man” (or in my case, “the woman” a while ago. so working for myself is still new. and scary. fun? yes. boring? yes, too. but still, pretty scary.
and then there’s checking my email. [...]

…that is the question.
here’s what happened. about a year ago, working in a different place, i befriended a new coworker when no one else would. we got along famously, and considering that we were apparently so different than the cool kids, this worked out well for us.
but then their life path changed, and they decided to [...]

bf has been fixing other people’s pc problems and installing networks and telephone systems for 15 years. in the time that i have known him, i have learned that anything computer related falls into one of three types of repair categories:

And what have you done?
Another year over
And a new one just begun

I hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the young
A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let’s hope it’s a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Xmas
For weak and for strong
For rich [...]

 
one of those days.

somehow, somewhere, i missed the signs. i know i’ve been quiet again lately and for that i’m sorry. but here’s the thing: i’ve been abso-f-ing-lutely exhausted. why? because i’m in utter termoil about where i’m working.
just like so many bad, bad, decisions, it seemed like a good idea at the time. but in these past [...]

there’s something to be said for working in a place where you are truly appreciated. this past week i really felt like i should be doing more, contributing more. i mean, i know i’m still a newbie – this week was only my third and concluded on what was essentially only 12 actual days of [...]

i know i’ve dropped again from the radar (why am i always apologizing for that, anyway? no one ever actually complains…) but i’ve got good reason.
