Behind on Updates!
I’m woefully behind on my updates. I owe you two Rate-A-Dates! But the rest of my life seems to be on hold while I try to secure my next paying gig. It’s stressful, y’all. In fact, I don’t really...
RAD: The Party Atty
Name: The Party Attorney Introduction Platform: Bumble Age: 58 (or so he says) Relationship Status: Divorced for long time - sounds like he’s on great terms with his ex. A daughter who sometim...
Still So Anxious*
Y’all. I’m still so anxiety-ridden. I don’t remember feeling this anxious last year when I was unemployed, but I think that was because I had a good severance AND unemployment on top of that, so ...
RAD: The Parole Officer
Name: The Parole Officer Introduction Platform: Bumble Age: 60 Relationship Status: Thinking never married, no kids? I actually didn’t ask, but I’m pretty sure he’s a lifelong bachelor Job: Re...
Updates on Various
Mom Update: She’s out of the hospital, but needs to work on being mobile before she comes home, so she’s in a rehab facility working on her walking. My poor dad was getting so, so tired and he wa...
RAD: The Sailor
<–Mom update that way. Sneaking in this little RAD as I was able to somehow throw in a little date on Monday when I didn’t have much information about my mom yet… Name: The Sailor Introducti...
Mom's Heart Attack *Update 2*
Greetings from the hospital in small town USA. It’s a regional hospital and I am in the ICU with my mother who had a heart attack - likely as a result of a pulmonary embolism (blood clot in her l...
Weird. Don't Be Weird.
It’s Saturday. I took a good long walk this morning while it was cooler than 106 degrees out and came home and attended a networking Zoom call with some interesting folks. These people are friend...
Innocuous
Had my expensive consultation with the employment attorney today. Go back a few entries in case you’re wondering what this is about. I don’t feel like rehashing any of it right now. Bottom line,...
So Anxious
Nearly a week after being told I was going to have legal action taken against me for defamation or some sort, I have yet to hear from The Cutie Pie Company. I don’t know how long it takes to draw...
Holy Fuckin’ Shit, Y’all *update 2*
Placeholder: Chief Cutie is threatening to SUE ME! Motherfucker!! More to come! GS So, the short of it is, I’m going about my day yesterday - it’s the end of the day on Friday and Chief Cutie ha...
Some Time Off
Y’all. I sometimes can’t even believe that I QUIT MY HIGH PAYING JOB with no prospects in mind. I especially can’t believe it after I put in a full day’s work over and over and over. It simply do...
Unsettled
I feel unsettled. And even though I quit my job, the thought of being there another month until July 21st makes me sick to my stomach and not fully done with the agitation. I gave my official n...
The Deal
(see previous couple of entries for backstory on me quitting my high-paying yet life-sucking job) So, we came to an agreement. I officially resigned, but I gave her ONE month. One month of semi-...
Resignation Update
Go back an entry to see WTF is going on right now with my job at The Cutie Pie Company. I actually wussed out yesterday. I had my letter of resignation ready to give to Chief Cutie, but chickened...
What Would You Say...
If I told you I’m resigning from my job on Tuesday? I can’t deal with the constant INSANE pressure cooker anymore, and my health is taking a hit, but I will be throwing away the biggest salary I...
I Miss You
Hey, my PB friends, I miss you so very much! Like, I feel all achy inside knowing that I haven’t been able to read much or write anything in so many days. I have a lump in my throat. It’s absolut...
It's the Gaslighting For Me
I mean… Crafting some bullets because I have no brainpower left after these days lately. Went on a 2nd date with Parker last weekend. He's actually a pretty lovely dude. In fact, he's hot as he...
RAD: Parker
Name: Parker Introduction Platform: Bumble. I opened Bumble while I was solo on Saturday night, drowning my sorrows at a wine bar. Handsome dude had made a comment on a photo of me wearing a s...
Updating
The weather forecast said it was supposed to rain all weekend - including the possibility of flash flooding all weekend. The weather lady on TV was actually warming everyone to stay inside all we...
Unmoved.
I don’t know what to tell you right now. It’s been a long time since I’ve updated, so I owe you (and myself) an entry to let you know what’s happening. So the Monday before last was our first WF...
WFH #1
Oh my goodness, how sweet it is to work from my beautiful personal space on a gorgeous Monday! I am going to LOVE Mondays for as long as I can…this is truly the space I needed. I actually wish we...
Possible *Slight* Reprieve?
Yesterday at our all-hands meeting it was announced that the whole company is WFH (or anywhere remote!) on Mondays starting this coming Monday. My guess is that things will get about 10% better n...
Sunday Scaries
I absolutely hate this feeling. I’m 10 weeks into this gig and it’s ruined my weekend. I dread going into the office tomorrow, even though I’m happy to have 2/3 of my staff in-house. I’m also int...
Back to Square One
Well, fuck. I told you I thought I was getting a little bit of a handle on work? Yeah, well. Scratch that. Yesterday the most talented person on the product development team quit. I’ve now been ...
