T-4
Yesterday, I truly felt like I had put in enough work to be worthy of a paycheck. That happens very rarely around here. Usually, I earn my paycheck by simply tolerating the ridiculous way thing...
T-3
It is only 9:06 a.m. CST and I am already forcing “calming breaths” and whispering “Don’t complain, push forward” over and over to myself. It is… difficult in such a “lovely” place (sarcasm). ...
T - 2
So, I may be setting myself up for a brutal fall but at least this opportunity gives all of you a far different look into who I am (perhaps). I don’t necessarily wear my heart on my sleeve; but ...
Behavior
Call it superstitious but… as I have been praying like Luther in Wartburg Castle the last few days… my superstitious and bargaining nature have been off the chart. The full list of things I’d gi...
Update From Phone
Interview was definitely for a dream job. I would be part of a team, I would be home, I would be able to learn, and I would be able to focus on ONE department (juvenile) instead of being required...
Into the Storm
Today, I drive to an interview that matters more to me than my next breath. An interview that holds for me the promise of returning home. An interview that, above all, I am desperate to ace. I...
OMG: Culture
Okay… this is judgmental as hell of me. I should feel bad. But I don’t. Because… PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTY DON’T KNOW WHO ELPHABA IS! Seriously… I just heard a room full of “Native Professionals” ...
My Hypocrisy
I am staring at my desk; which I thoroughly WANT to clean and am READY to clean… but my boss called with… well, something that makes me want to not clean and instead use the paperwork littering m...
Live Broadcasting
8:00 a.m. I had the oddest dream last night. I was holding three jobs that could be done simultaneously but unethically. I was delivering Book Storage to businesses, selling security devices do...
Surprising Days
I woke up this morning and was still so tired. Really getting sick of that. A classic sign of depression, of course, but there is also the fact that… well… this county is a dark, wintry place t...
Mah n NoJoMo
(1) One thing I dislike about the new Prosebox Format is that it is no longer as User Friendly to discover when I have new notes or new bookmarks. Sometimes there will be the in-page prompt but ...
From the Back to the Middle
Aye. I haven’t been here for the Thanksgiving Weekend. I was considering it, but then thought a complete separation may be in order. Truth be told, I had planned on not writing today (or at le...
List Based and NoJoMo
As it highlights my current moods and accidental compartmental-mentality (which I hereby deem as CompartMentality) I shall share this as a list concept then follow up with NoJoMo Prompt for 11/23...
Interesting Song Bit
I have David Bowie’s “Changes” stuck in my head… but only one half of one stanza. I don’t know why, but open to interpretation, lol. “And these children that you spit on As they try to change th...
Dies Marti
Just learned that the Latin phrase “Dies Marti” is where we get “day” from in our calendar. Dies Marti “days of Mars.” Last night, towards the end of work (or I should say “work”) I felt an ol...
Turkey Week
Weekend was okay. Went to Omaha for Pathfinder… which means a three hour trip down for five hours of gameplay and then a three hour trip back. But seeing friends, going to a real place, and get...
This... Worries Me
Have you seen the video of the Hamilton Cast speaking with Mike Pence? HERE is a link to it. That is pretty damned innocuous. Hell, it is actually fairly common for casts to mention famous peopl...
30 Second Movie Reviews: Knock Knock
I first heard about Knock Knock as it was described as a “Chauvinist’s Wet Dream” and heard a lot of Dyed in the Wool Feminists rip on the film. They said a number of times that it was some big ...
Pátek
Got an e-mail from one of the jobs I applied to several months ago. It started with “Over 350 applicants were processed”… so that’s how I am so unemployable right now. There are hundreds of peo...
Snippet
Today is just… rough. Like… I’ve never woken up and been this inconsolable about this place. Maybe it is the fact that November is ending and I’m no closer to understanding this job, getting a ...
Piss Poor
Waking up and wanting to go right back to sleep is now standard. Getting out of bed and being disgusted with life is now typical. Walking to my car feeling depressed about where I’m going is the ...
WenOnDesDay
I decided not to go to Magistrate Court this morning because there was nothing on the schedule. The rest I shall share in BULLET FORM! - A Citizen In The Know ran into a Board of Supervisors me...
Insert Girder
Today… I am hollow. I just feel… devoid. Like this county has crawled inside of me and affected my spirit the way it has affected everything else. This… hollow… numb… apathetic… acceptance. I ...
NoJoMo
Writing today. Because I’m in that emotional place of so here’s some NoJoMo… but honestly… I would much rather you read my 3 AM ENTRY and my MONDAY NIGHTMARE entry. NoJoMo11 What “trade” do you...
Not with a bang, but...
So I’m tired… as could be expected from being awake at 3 AM to write MY WEEKEND ENTRY. But being back at work has already drained me so much more than anything else possibly could. The Board ha...
