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 ...
The Quickest
I got a new battery for my personal laptop (MacBook Pro) since the battery life was about dead, and this new battery won’t even charge! I will never write an entry or put anything personal into m...
What in the Cutie Freaking Pie is Happening Here?
Well, hm. Every day at The Cutie Pie Company brings more scratching of the head. I’m six weeks in. There has been so much chaos and drama that I’m really going to have to start protecting myself...
The Cutie Pie Company
A little bit about my new job at The Cutie Pie Company. It’s stressful. My boss is the founder and CEO. She’s young and super smart and continually manic. Her brain is moving 10,000 miles a minu...
Near and Far
So, I think I’m starting to maybe kind of figure out this new city. On the one hand, since it’s only a three hour drive to my old city, it’s almost like I’m still so close. Yet, the two cities ar...
Home By 8:30
I’m back from the wedding with Crazy Bob. Believe it or not, I was home by 8:30! I mean, we did leave at 12:30, but it is nice to be home at a decent hour. It took over an hour to get to the wed...
Day 16
I’ve literally been on the job for 16 days now. It’s starting to sink in a bit. Maybe? It’s a lot, but at least nobody has quit since Monday. I have to give Quitter’s 30-day check-in today. Shoul...
Love It or Loathe It
Y’all. I’m too tired to write it all out, but the new job at The Cutie Pie company is anything but cute right now. It’s not like this is a big surprise, and I know I am brand new, but here are a ...
