Resolutions are common at the end of one year and beginning of another. But the word resolution is an interesting one. Resolute: admirably purposeful, determined, and unwavering. Resolve: decide...


New boss and transitions take up a lot of time. There are still 5 pages of Unread Bookmarks, and I’m only 50% done with my actual “New Year” entry! Plus… since we are spending so much time simp...

Survey in BookThree: Flight Log 2016

Real Entry is HERE: but TLDR.... I’m becoming as formulaic and tedious as a prime time sitcom. Act 1: Here’s what bothered me today. I’m pissed or sad or hollow or depressed. Act 2: Lament! I mus...

Berlusconi in BookThree: Flight Log 2016

No idea why he popped into my head today… other than perhaps as a Media Figure with a Scandalous Political Career. Maybe my mind is trying to make parallels. I could simply NOT get out of bed ...


Started writing this from court which is where I am catching up on some Prosebox.net reading. My County is dead. How dead is it? Despite only having magistrate court once a week (for comparison,...


This is not a good sign. I sit here at the end of my work day. I don’t want to go home. I don’t want to stay at work. As those are the only two options; that feels like a bad sign. What I want...
