Maybe you aren’t, but I am. Ok, not old, but older. And I’m really ok with that, I am. I’m VERY ok with it. I like saying good bye to another year of learning what not to do. I like knowing I’ve just gotten past a bunch of rough jabs to the gut and the [...]

Oh hooray for inability to sleep. Once again I couldn’t fall asleep last night. It didn’t help that when I crawled in at 130am Factor had stolen the blankets diagonally so I had like.. a triangle to work with. I know he gets all huffy and grunty in his sleep (I always say when he’s [...]

It’s Friday. Friday is the day you’re all supposed to sign with relief as the minute hand slowly makes its way around the dial of death, eventually leading you into your weekend. And weren’t the weekend made for michelob? Perhaps. I swear I have said this before, but this week and [...]

Yes I’m being positive, yes I’m keeping my head up, yes I’m confident and hoping for the best, but people, you know me. I gotta get this out or it’s going to poison my system. If I get all the second guessing out here, it might not hang onto me all day today. So here [...]

Today I feel horrible. I couldn’t sleep. I have a really hot face. Not hot like “do me” hot, but hot like “go get my mom to make a washcloth wet to put on my forehead” hot. It’s cold out, but I’m really warm and slightly clammy. There is a dull warmpf in my head [...]

nothing arrives, i check email 80 times
I call at 10am notifying them that I need a timesheet. They ask if they should fax it. How [...]

I used to work for someone who would bandy about “awesome”, “great”, and “yay” as if the world were her vein and those false hoots were the heroin. It began as a fun mantra that would chase away the crazy of our group. Sort of laughing in the face of an idiot executive who tried [...]

My life is going to be even more different than it’s ever been starting tomorrow. I’ve had a few major alterations in my life in the past 7 months. I went from regular employed gal to unemployed and over joyed gal, to bored and ready for work gal, to no income, no money, and completely [...]

Factor just informed me that his office is being moved to Jersey City. He’s not happy. What would be nice right now would be some good news. The smackfactor could use a break right about now. Poor Factor. I feel really bad. He loves to walk to work, which he obviously won’t be able to [...]

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 [...]
