This morning I woke up and felt like a metaphorical arrow was in my chest. Not pain, at least not pain in any perceivable increased way as to my usual pain, but something more existential. Do yo...


Happy May. It is rainy and cold here. Not a great way to start May. Today is expected to remain very rainy and get “as warm as” 47 degrees F. But the rest of the week looks good, so here’s h...


After work on Friday, I went back home to shower and grab my bags. It took a while and set me behind actually a few hours more than anticipated. I got on the road and texted my buddy my expecte...


Last night, I was informed that I would have to go with Chinese Administrative Assistant (CAA) to the Ames office to interview a client and try to get a contract. The proposed client is screwed ...


Fuck, I’m tired. I woke up at 3 this morning. Went back to sleep. Woke up at 5:50 this morning. Went back to sleep. Woke up at 7 and had to move my ass. I shower, I dress, I go to kiss my s...


This should be quick. (1) Woke up on time… but..................... Nope. This won’t be quick. Never mind. I’ll do the quick part, then I’ll rehash a long part, then that’ll be it. So… here’s ...


Got in to work today; already had an assignment on my desk. A potential law suit in the range of $487,000 for our client. A client who is in to Rare Earth stuff. So… lots of issues abound. It ...


A few years ago; it became public knowledge that Australia banned Pornography featuring women with breasts smaller than a C cup. The reasoning behind this was, officially, that pornographic mate...


From 8:30 to 11:08 am; I have been working relatively well. That is a grand total of 2 hours and 38 minutes (or 2.6 hours from Law Firm Perspective) and I’ve accumulated 1.7 hours of billable ti...


Today… I got to be more busy. Hooray! Always good. Studied some stuff, drafted some stuff. Granted… it never seems to correlate properly. A solid 4 hours of work translates into 2 hours of b...


I write this with the intent that it takes two days. Partly because my life has become more “mundane” so as not to require the daily; but also because… it feels important or necessary. Not that...


The barometric pressure of the local area is crazy. We’re expected to get severe storms, tornado warnings, and a cold front slamming into a warm front. Or as the weather dude said: Highs in the...

Hya in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017

Ow. I woke up this morning in super sore shape. I got up, though, showered, and left… typically, from when I left, I’d get to work a good 15 minutes early! Total gridlock on the road. Get a tex...


Good morning all! I hope everyone had good weekends and, for those that worship, excellent Easters. My weekend was… rather full, sadly. Omaha on Saturday and Easter all Sunday so… really not r...


Got in to work today around 8:45. Actually, didn’t have anything left to do so I was semi impatiently waiting for Bosses to arrive and give me a project or something. An hour later, I get a call ...


It is funny when a day has no profound historical significance. For a lark, I checked “Historical Events” and… other than a few interesting quotes (Apollo 13) and sporting events… April 13th see...


Last night, Wife and I put a lot of work into the Apartment. We’re about 98% sure that the Main Bedroom is taken care of. We are around 78% finished with the Living Room. Maybe almost done wit...


Last night, Chinese Boss requested that I research and write a brief response to the United Air incident. After all, the passenger that was bloodied and dragged off of the plane was of Asian des...


Holy Shit, I’m never going to catch up with you folks and that makes me feel kind of shitty. Also makes me feel kind of shitty? My weekend involved doing mostly nothing. No work, no apartment s...


(1) I feel like shit this morning. Not because of drinking or anything but… yeah. Feeling feverish; certainly. I even considered calling in; or at least texting White Boss to say that I’d have...


So, this is me breaking my own rules in a manner that allows me to be sneaky without breaking my own rules. In an effort to stay professional; I am not allowing myself to use Facebook or Prosebox...


Some things change… and some things don’t. As I did not have my Work Laptop from Best Buy… I had to think quickly. I needed a computer for the day as I had assignment and translation work to do…...


There are SO many bookmarks to catch up on! I plan to start (and keep working towards finishing) those when the Apartment is finished. I’ll have my desktop back up and running. April 3rd. Two T...


Wow… 356 entries behind. It will… uh… take me a month to catch up. lol Back when Wife and I were dating; I contracted Mumps or Measles… one of the M things. At first, Wife wasn’t… good about it...


As of Thursday, March 30th at 4:30 p.m. Wife and I are officially out of and done with Tiny Town. As of Thursday, March 30th at 7:50 p.m. I am 307 Bookmarked Entries behind. The move is “over.” ...
