Something must be oozing out of my pores. Seriously. It’s like there is something about me that says, “I’m a target, please fuck with me” to the general public. I swear I’m not being paranoid,...

You know what? I never heard back from last week’s date, Ken Doll. Do you remember I’d met him on the same day I’d heard back from work AND gotten mugged AND while the pandemic raged on. I’m se...

---

I want to cover up my most recent entry with a positive one. I desperately need to end today with positive thoughts! I’m thinking of a road trip for the not-so-distant future. I haven’t decide...

---

I’m back home in my apartment now, after spending the last couple of days with my parents, about to walk the dog for her last walk of the evening as curfew begins at 7pm. The curfew lasts until ...

---

My city is in near-ruin. Over the weekend, the city was overtaken by what started as peaceful protests for justice for George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement and turned into violence. ...

---

Yesterday was a HELL of a day. First, the nervousness of waiting, waiting, W.A.I.T.I.N.G. for the phone call from the office telling me I have my old job back come mid-June. THEN, being mugged ...

---

As a cherry on this WTF sundae, today I was mugged in broad daylight in a church courtyard. I live in an urban downtown area, right next to a very large church that takes up a whole city block. ...

---

I have been recalled back to work. Will start back in the office June 15 (we will be 50% in office and 50% WFH and will switch back and forth). This means that I will be able to pursue Operatio...

---

Today, some people from my former place of employment got “update” phone calls to let them know that they will NOT be coming back to work after the temporary lay-off. Bye-bye. I have my phone ca...

---

Greetings from home on a rainy, rainy Memorial Day Monday. Just a few quickie updates since I wrote last: Meeting with my kind “cheerleader” on Friday couldn’t have gone better. It was great ...

---

I’m about to run out the door to meet a guy I know from the last time I was unemployed (back in 2009, I was FIRED from my beloved and highly coveted job due to a broken heart…long story, but it w...

---

Well, had a conversation with the HR person. It was only a 15-minute conversation. I don’t know if she really knows this business and how it works - she’s been in the role since November. It ju...

---

Hi. Struggling today. I’m over this coronapalooza. Make it stop, please. I seem to be in a funk of epic proportions and I need to get over it somehow. I just wish the world felt safe. I kno...

---

I never do these quiz things, but this one struck a chord with me for some reason (pun intended)… Using only song titles from one artist (and their remixes), cleverly answer these questions. You ...

---

The results are in, folks. I was surprised to have them back today, but early this morning I got the message that I had test results, so I quickly opened up my medical app. Lo and behold… Negat...

---

Today was a decent day. I started out with a workout at 5:30am and was taking the dog to daycare at 7am and then to the doctor’s office to get my Covid-19 antibody blood test. While I wasn’t su...

---

Here in the US we have been given some extra time to get our 2019 taxes done due to Covid19. I’m seriously blaming all of this bullshit on 2019, not 2020, okay? I mean, all of the seriously hor...

---

Every time I start writing an entry I do so with the intention of following up the next day to talk about how I’d followed through with my plans. I just had to go back to my last entry to see wh...

---

I’ts a gorgeous Saturday morning. I haven’t yet taken the dog on her walk, which means it’s first thing in the morning (not really - it’s already after 8:30am - but it’s kinda first thing for me...

---

Yesterday I was low, low, low. And then so many people came to my rescue - somehow the universe brought me comfort in the form of sweet notes here, texts there, and then…amazingly, at the very e...

---

Hey. It’s been a while. I am juuuuuust about over this situation. I think we are all kind of about to crack. I need to keep reminding myself not to be angry or jealous of the people I know who...

---

…or, hm. These guys need to get their shit together. After I told you guys about my sleuthing in the last entry, I sleuthed/stalked the hiring manager even more only to find out that she’s real...

---

So…tomorrow’s interview. It’s a Zoom interview, but now the headhunter tells me it’s just going to be by phone? I don’t really understand. I guess time will tell. I will be dressed and somewh...

---

This morning I got up early and did my workout, took the dog for a nice early walk, came back in and finished sending my tax info to my accountant and told him that I got laid off, filled out a c...

---

I’m trying my best to keep a stiff upper lip about being laid off. I mean, we’ve all seen the writing on the wall and I’ve talked about it soooooo many times here in PB, but honestly, in the mid...
