Tired
I’m beat. But I’m supposed to write, so here goes. Today was an odd mix of productivity, reflection, procrastination, conversation and just plain craziness (which I realize doesn’t end in -ion. Did I mention I’m tired?)
I got no sleep due to the work issue. Then I got up this morning and tried to think about the [...]
Here We Go, Again…
Goal: To blog every day this week (yes, I know it’s a holiday), starting with this Monday morning freewrite.
I got out of bed and had a million things running through my head: my review today, the work I need to get done, the laundry I didn’t fold. Then I took the dog for a walk. [...]
If the Shoe Fits
I’ve been thinking a lot lately. I’ve been reading this book, Once You’re Lucky, Twice You’re Good, about the people who made “Web 2.0” a reality.
It has made me think a number of things. First, I shoulda learned to code… there’s a dire shortage of estrogen in Silicon Valley and I coulda been the [...]
I hate my job.
I hate my job. No, that’s not true. At different times my job can be interesting, challenging, rewarding and even–occasionally– fun. Even though my projects are much the same from year to year, there is a great deal of variety in what I do and I’m able to have my hands in a number of [...]

I haven’t done one of these freewrites for a while. As usual, I have lots of stuff going through my head.
My dog has to have surgery.
I hope I’m making the right choice.
I don’t have any money.
How did I manage to piss away my entire stimulus check without knowing it? I
‘m trying to do some [...]
Toxicity
In this post from I Hate Your Job, Chuck writes:
It only takes a few sips of strychnine to ruin a good thing.
Have you ever had a co-worker or boss bring you down with their own dissatisfaction?
To which I answer a resounding *YES*!! It’s something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. Maybe because I’ve been [...]
Manic Monday
Manic is a “happy” state, right? Like the high part of manic depressive? If so, the title of this post is misleading.
Maybe I shouldn’t have read I Hate Your Job yesterday. Maybe I should have stayed in the “ignorance is bliss” mode of just mildly disliking my ‘career path.’
Today was my first [...]
Workplace Complacency– Not Good Enough!
I don’t know how *real* bloggers do it, but my system for organizing my blog topics is fairly arcane. I either make myself a note on actual paper. Or type it into notepad. But my preferred method is a list of “blog prompts” that I save as an email draft. Really high-tech I know.
Anyway, after [...]
Permanent Adolescence
I’m not 100% sure where this post will take me, but I’ve had a bunch of thoughts running through my head the last few days and I feel the need to get them out. Maybe I’ll edit it later. Maybe not.
I wrote a list of “things to do with my life” on the plane the [...]
I’m a jackass
The topic of this mornings freewrite is what an ass I am…. I went out the other night with work people and got ridiculously drunk. Then I sent some ill-advised text messages/emails. Then sent apologies the next day and haven’t heard back. I’m probably being paranoid, but I just feel like I’m making a complete [...]
