OK - I’m still on the plane, but we’ve crossed the International Date Line and we’re now somewhere over Siberia. It’s November 3rd where I am, and I want to try to keep up with this entry a day...

NoJoMo 2015: Entry 2

So, I’m on a plane bound for Shanghai, and I’ve already lost one entry. Let’s see if I can do this one more time. I’m going to save this part right here so that you can see I’m actually on, and...

NoJoMo 2015: Entry 1

November 1, 2015. I don’t know if we do NoJoMo here in Prosebox, but I think I’m going to do one for myself anyway. Tomorrow morning I leave on another trip to China. I’m exhausted just thinkin...

Tuesday Ten

Had it with work. Must do something pretty quickly, but working morning, noon and night is not cutting it and certainly doesn’t help with trying to plan and strategize around finding a new job...

Good News/Bad News

Good news is I had my annual review today…and I didn’t get fired! Bad news is, I found out that my other two counterparts are being promoted in January, and I’m not. In fact, I could still get l...

Saturday Night in October

It’s a stunningly beautiful night. I’m home with the dog. I’m kind of lonely and antsy, but I’m exhausted and don’t feel like doing anything. I don’t like this feeling of being exhausted all t...

Three Red Flags. In His Words.

So can you believe I’m coming on here just one day after I wrote the previous entry to tell you about some things that I just found out about Mr. Perfect? I know. It kills me, too. So look. We...

So hi.

So there’s this guy, right? I’ve known him for years. He’s come to parties at my place and I’ve gone to his place for a Super Bowl party or some such. He’s hung out with me and some other girl...

I need to write.

So much. My job is in the shitter, I’m eating like shit, my brain is fried and I’m so tired. Crazy thing is, I’ve started hanging out with someone from my past and he’s just about perfect for me ...

Ten Things - Weekend Style

I started this entry LAST Monday, so the first few items are about the weekend before this one. I wish I could just keep up, though this weekend was similar to last, so they’re kind of interch...

Ten Things for Friday

Yes, I’ve started not one but TWO RADs. Guess it goes to show you how excited I am to share them with you. Perhaps I’ll write another…the Hot Redhead is coming to town on Sunday and supposedl...

Updates on Various

Preggers? Well, the pee stick says I’m not, but the instructions say that if it says negative to try again in three days. I’ll do it, but I’m not freaking out. I think that there are a combinat...


Vegas was weird, as you might imagine. First, it was my company “award” during the first part of the trip. See, we surpassed our goals so we got to go early over the weekend (even got to take...

10 More Things.

My gawd, the Napa trip last weekend with my college girls was IN-SANELY spectacular! I can’t even begin to tell you how much fun I/we had. From the vineyards to the Napa County Fair, from sip...

10 Wine-y Things

I’m on a plane bound for San Francisco. I’m off on a 4-day weekend after last week’s 3-day weekend and next week’s 3-day weekend (a work function, but we all get Friday off to travel to and han...

10 Quick Things!

I have been saving an entry on China thinking it would be the first thing I write when I get back. I’ve been back three weeks now. I keep stalling on the entry (there’s LOTS) and there’s so man...

The Other Side..

…of the world. Hi from Shanghai, China. I am stressed beyond belief, so I thought I’d tap out an entry instead of shooting off more pissed off emails to my colleagues and my boss. Lord. My cust...


First thing’s first: I sent the email to the Bulldog (go back and read the entry titled “Dear Bulldog”). No reply, of course, but at least I feel like I said something…anything. I actually he...


I love the title - just saw someone on Instagram post a bunch of expensive cosmetics and that was the photo caption. I haven’t sent that email (previous entry) to the Bulldog yet. Should I? I’m...

Dear Bulldog,

I’m sorry that I’m sending this via email, but it’s only because we tend to go off on tangents when we talk and I have a hard time getting my point across sometimes. I’ll put it to you in the sim...

So Much. And Yet...

Still marching in place. I’m happy it’s Friday, but my China trip is fast approaching and I’m getting really stressed. So is my staff. I’m afraid they’re all going to quit on me. One of my as...


May 4 – Monday, Again. Another weekend come and gone. I am absolutely not ready for this week, and I’m sad that the weekend is over. I also spent quite a bit of it with the Bulldog – him telling...


I’m back on yet another plane. Presentation done and over with. Gotta say, I don’t feel as strongly about this one as I did last week’s. But I was rushed for time AND the CEO ended up attendin...

April 29 - Another Plane

Headed to San Diego, mimosa in hand. I gotta get into this presentation mindset. Mimosa is helping. So is the upgrade I got for this flight. And the location. I could be going somewhere wors...


I am busy, busy, busy at work. So busy that I can’t wait to leave work every day - my weekends are like dreams come true, and I spend them NOT thinking about work as much as I possibly can. Las...
