NJM18 - 21: Early Out
We got out early at work today, which was nice because I’ve just about had enough. Yes, Boss was not in the office, but I saw Brown Nosey waddling through the hallways a couple of times and was j...
NJM18 - 20: Some Momentum!
Today started off slowly. I knew boss was out of the office today so I took my time getting ready, took my time getting the dog ready (not that there’s a lot to do to get my dog ready - well, sh...
NJM18 - 19: The Phone Never Rang
Ugh. This is what happens around the holidays. People get busy getting the fuck out of work and they don’t finish what they started until they’re back and good and ready. I never got a confirmat...
NJM18 - 18: Homebody
Today was a decent day. Started with a walk and talk with The Scot. We FT’d while I walked the dog. It was a very good talk and we both wanted to see each other later in the day…so we agreed we...
NJM18 - 17: Beautiful and Weird
Today I woke early to text a bit with The Scot who actually went to work this morning so his teams could do a little overtime work and that he could get some extra things done at his office. We ...
NJM18 - 16: Nibbles
Today I didn’t have anything to eat for lunch and didn’t have time to run out and grab something to eat. So I went to the vending machine at work and got a bag of Cheetos. I came back around to ...
NJM18 - 15: Maybe Tomorrow?
Another long day at the salt mines. Started this morning at 8:30 when I got called into a two-hour meeting by surprise because Boss forgot to add me to the invite list. I don’t know how that ha...
NJM18 - 14: Long Day, What to Say?
Started an entry at work just to try to get it out of the way at the beginning of the day and it’s now 8:45pm, so see how that turned out? I’m exhausted. Today I was handed another new project an...
NJM18 - 13: It Is Time
I’m taking a mental break at work and figured I could knock out my entry for the day. I had a dream last night - one of being sucked underwater. It was some kind of machine that would suck a pers...
NJM18 - 12: As the Clock Ticks...
Got home from work just after 8pm. You guys. This shit isn’t working. I’ve spent two full working days now (of my 45 days!) doing stupid shit that’s NOT even my go-forward job. I’ve been trac...
NJM18 - 11 - Singles Day and Forever Friendship
11/11 is Singles Day in China. It’s the day that’s kind of like their Black Friday and everything online is like on crazy sale. It’s always the biggest day in retail now over there, and I’d for...
NJM18 - 10: On Nailing and Failing
Nothing incredibly exciting to report for today except that I did a 1.5 hour workout this morning instead of my usual hour and it just about killed me. Of course, everyone says you get used to i...
NJM18 - 9: Finally Friday
Good Friday morning. I’m still drinking my coffee and getting warmed up, though I’ve been at the office for a little while. Mornings getting colder - winter is on it’s way! I don’t have a whole ...
NJM18 - 8: A Smattering of Updates
Got 8.5 hours of sleep last night for the first time in I don’t know how long. It felt like a luxury!! Of course, I had to go to bed at 8:30pm the night before and I was awake for about 30 minut...
NJM18 - 7: Ball's In Your Court
Yeah, you guys. I’ve felt a shift since yesterday. I think the reality of New Years Eve in NYC actually happening hit The Scot in some way after I booked the room. I’m thinking he’s like, whoa. ...
NJM18 - 6: Look What You Made Me Do
Watching the coverage of the midterm elections as I write this entry!! EXCITING!! Kind of a weird day today. Started the morning feeling it was urgent for me to book our room in NYC for New Yea...
NJM18 - 5: On Fresh Starts - Is This How They Start?
Not much to say today. It was Monday. Is Monday. Kind of a shit day…or really, more of a blah day…starting with the 4:30am workout. I couldn’t seem to get it going today. But of course I did. I...
NJM18 - 4: Extra Hour to Daydream
Got an extra hour of sleep this morning but it sure didn’t feel like it. The event last night was kind of a bust. I was absolutely shocked that it was so much different than years past. I mean...
NJM18 - 3: Buck's Fizz
Glorious Saturday! The weather is absolutely stunning and I’ve had a fantastic morning and afternoon so far. Began the day with a FaceTime with The Scot. I swear to you, I never stop laughing ...
NJM18 - 2: Writing on the Wall
OMG - work is super annoying today and the writing is on the wall - unless something drastically changes, the company just may go down…and the biggest frustration is that the line that I created ...
NJM18-1: Taking Action
First day of NoJoMo! I’m off and running. Thanks for the thoughts about The Scot and The Texts. I booked my flight for NYC last night. And then I sent this text to the Scot: ”Let’s make this ...
Practicing
I suppose I might as well start practicing for NoJoMo. I do this every year and I really love doing it. It makes me want to write and write and write what’s on my mind. In fact, I don’t know wh...
Kind of Boring Updates on Various
Haven’t really felt like writing the past few days. Here’s a partial list of the stuff that’s been going on lately… Had a Birthday: My birthday was on Friday and it was very uneventful. I flew u...
What do you make of this?
CEO came to my office first thing this morning to ask me what I need from her to stay with the company as far as making sure I gain the skills needed for this “new” position I’ve temporarily been...
Ugly. *
Big layoffs at work today. It’s just the start. I didn’t get fired, but I got put on a PIP (Performance Improvement Plan) that’s conditional for 45 days! They are changing my role…but it’s not ...
