A Different Tactic. Part 1 of many. 4:00 p.m. in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
I have decided to separate my writings. I feel like I’m writing too much, writing too repetitively… and just… writing in such a fashion as to punish the reader instead of reward the reader. And...
TWITTER AND OTHER SUCH THINGS in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
.... and with THAT… I have officially applied to EVERY law firm with an opening; EVERY government office looking for something more than Administrative Assistant; EVERY financial institution look...
Dreams, Bitching, NoJoMo in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
Saturday, knowing that my job is destroying me more and more rapidly; a friend made an honest offer. He could probably get me a job selling Washing Machines at Best Buy working for his dad. I a...
NOJOMO 4 & Confessions in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
heading text CONFESSION 1 Obviously, I don’t like my job. That isn’t a confession. That is more like… me repeating myself. The confession comes thus: Because this job drains me of every posit...
Computer Problems and Other Bullshit in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
Not surprisingly; several e-mails and phone calls last night from my bosses. Because 7 pm here is 8 am in China. Got in to work this morning; booted up my laptop. There had been updates last ni...
TWITTER THOUGHTS (11/2/2017) in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017

NoJoMo 2 in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017

NoJoMo 1 in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
It is November, a time when NoJoMo becomes a trending Subject Line around Prosebox. Though, the two times I’ve written the word on my work laptop, it was first NoKoMo. Maybe my “typos” at work ...
Looking Out in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
Everything being said… I’m not doing myself any favors. I keep cruising around on Zillow. Because… I want that life. I want that life where I own a house and invite people over. We were so clo...
TUESDAY in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
Ah. Sweet sweet relief. No e-mails or phone calls or text messages from the bosses. THAT is a nice thing. I do, honestly, wonder if I’ll ever get to the point where my Text Message ringer doe...
Monday Without Them in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
Yeah… even without them here… I still hate this job. So, against other attorneys’ recommendations, this firm uses Personal Phones as Work Phones (because, again, work/life balance isn’t needed)....
Two Types of People in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
There are two types of people...................... People always say that; “there are two types of people”. It is true but it is not true. We are all one type: Human; and we are all millions o...
Nocturne at Allegro in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017

Certainly Was Interesting in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
Thursday turned out to be certainly an interesting day in many respects. As I already detailed, my day had already had quite a stir of activity before I even got in to work. 6:30 I woke, showere...
Looking Forward in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
Hopefully, today goes well. I had nightmares all night. Looking back at my life, discovering both how it could have been much better and much worse. I woke up after a particularly strong “You’r...
Wood Paneling in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
I am currently staring at wood paneling; it covers my Ames Office. Literally. Covers. Every wall. Drop down ceiling. Old wooden desk with a glass top shattered at the left side and never rep...
Grit Your Teeth in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
Last night, I had a fever of 100.9. Do you think that qualifies me as sick? Especially considering, and this is true, I don’t usually rate a 98.6 on thermometers. But my parents wanted to make...
Can I Get a Ruling in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
I am coughing my guts out. Fever. Weak enough to be bowled over by a kitten. But I am still working, still busting my ass because my bosses demand it. Chinese Boss asks me to send stuff to som...
Poem in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
I’m.... a little desperate for communication. I haven’t spoken to my brother or his family since The Wedding; I haven’t seen my parents since my Dad’s eye surgery… and at best I get 40 minutes w...
Waxing in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
Writing what nobody wants to read. Living what nobody wants to live. I tend to get a little depressed when I’m sick. I mean, I’m weaker so my pain increases and I’m not getting as much sleep ...
TWITTER in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
Bad enough that I have to work when I am this sick. Worse still getting client phone calls at 6:30 am. Definitely need a job with better home/work balance.
Good Examples in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
How to Run a Firm: Too many cooks. I think Chinese Boss did take our talk to heart the other day… about how the way things work here weighs too heavily on me and how that is bullshit. Because t...
Ill in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
Ah yes, the joy of going to work with a fever because that is the smartest way to make sure a business runs smoothly. As mean-spirited as this may be… I hope that I do get one of my bosses sick. ...
The Edge of Nightmare in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
I wanted to write an entry yesterday that was smiles, hugs, and rainbows… because it has been so long since I was able to write something like that. Yesterday, I treated myself to a $95 haircut,...
A Last Refrain in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
Interesting how the word REFRAIN has meanings based on use. Refrain: to stop oneself from doing something; common usage. Refrain: A refrain (from Vulgar Latin refringere, “to repeat”, and later...
