I am tense. Super tense. I could host my own suspension bridge. I had anxiety dreams all night last night. and my brain wouldn’t stop moving over the past year and a half of my life. Everything happened so fast. And I couldn’t stop thinking about even 6 years ago when everything was so so [...]

I almost forgot the most important part of my day yesterday. Anyone who knows what I went through with my fucked up and poisoned management chain over at the blue bowl of serpents knows that I was mentally grated every time I put a word to a document. And it wasn’t like “edit this for [...]

I always cringe when I hear people say “well, thats not a bad problem to have” nyuck nyuck nyuck when you say you have too much going on, too many places to be, too many whatevers. Because really, the point is, and you’ve just repeated it back to me, there is a “problem” involved. [...]

Today was really frustrating. Well, hold the gramophone, it started out last night when , as my friend Erica left, I realized how exhausted i was. I couldn’t WAIT to get to bed. But when it was time to crawl into bed, the same creepy crawlies grabbed onto my body and wouldn’t let go and [...]

You heard it, kids, i’m over it. It’s almost like I never interviewed with company #1. But i did, and I’m glad I did, but what I’m trying to say here is that I’m no longer down. I had my little emotional moment there – I called my dad and sobbed my face off, I [...]

When I was little, i had this poster. It was a little grey striped cat, dangling from a tree branch. The clever caption?
“…it could be worse
…it would be Monday all week”
What kind of kid was I where I needed a poster to remind me that things could really be a lot worse. I wish I [...]

What’s that spell? JOB!! Louder!!JOB!!
Honey, I want a job now. Yes, I need it, der – but I WANT IT. Last night, even though I was slowly recovering from the most annoying hangover ever (really now), I thought “man, it would be so nice to have that ‘eh, back to work!’ feeling.” Sharing the experience [...]

I just returned from my 2nd interview with company #2. It was awesome. These people are so down to earth, so easy going, and without any strange agendas as far as I can see. The tone and the environment is so open and friendly — and honestly open and friendly. I’m a good judge of [...]

Let’s see, last week… oh wait! That was this week. Yes, that’s right, this is the week that will never end. The longest week in December (except for when I start having to wrestle other nomads for the good spot over the subway grate). I thought that it might conclude on Wednesday, but alas, no [...]
