Today, I woke up and shoveled the sidewalk. Then got into a blue blazer and khakis and went to work. Desk is a mess. Court was… quick. Didn’t know what I was doing but faked it well. It turn...

Bollocks. in BookThree: Flight Log 2016

Spent time with my friend. It isn’t… active time… but he gets lonely so it is good to spend time if available. We watched Then I set out back for Tiny Town. A 3 hour drive through snow, wi...


Visiting a friend this weekend. Upon entering a bigger city, a powerful rage hit me. I’m not too demanding in my hopes and requests. 1: Live in a city of 20k or more, preferably close to friend...


Earlier, I was doing “T minus” for when I’d find out about the job. But now that I know it is a no on that job… today is just another day. Woke up at -14 centigrade today. Step outside and… ...

Job in BookThree: Flight Log 2016

Didn’the get it. Confirmed via phone call. Not a surprise but thoroughly disappointing. I am still going to do Good Boy December… just to show my Creator that fucking with me won’the destroy me...

T-5 in BookThree: Flight Log 2016

Still no word about the interview. But truthfully, that really isn’t reason to panic. Hell, my county took three months after interviews to get back to people… and all they said was “We want to...

T-4 in BookThree: Flight Log 2016

Yesterday, I truly felt like I had put in enough work to be worthy of a paycheck. That happens very rarely around here. Usually, I earn my paycheck by simply tolerating the ridiculous way thing...

T-3 in BookThree: Flight Log 2016

It is only 9:06 a.m. CST and I am already forcing “calming breaths” and whispering “Don’t complain, push forward” over and over to myself. It is… difficult in such a “lovely” place (sarcasm). ...

T - 2 in BookThree: Flight Log 2016

So, I may be setting myself up for a brutal fall but at least this opportunity gives all of you a far different look into who I am (perhaps). I don’t necessarily wear my heart on my sleeve; but ...

Behavior in BookThree: Flight Log 2016

Call it superstitious but… as I have been praying like Luther in Wartburg Castle the last few days… my superstitious and bargaining nature have been off the chart. The full list of things I’d gi...


Interview was definitely for a dream job. I would be part of a team, I would be home, I would be able to learn, and I would be able to focus on ONE department (juvenile) instead of being required...


Today, I drive to an interview that matters more to me than my next breath. An interview that holds for me the promise of returning home. An interview that, above all, I am desperate to ace. I...


Okay… this is judgmental as hell of me. I should feel bad. But I don’t. Because… PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTY DON’T KNOW WHO ELPHABA IS! Seriously… I just heard a room full of “Native Professionals” ...


I am staring at my desk; which I thoroughly WANT to clean and am READY to clean… but my boss called with… well, something that makes me want to not clean and instead use the paperwork littering m...


8:00 a.m. I had the oddest dream last night. I was holding three jobs that could be done simultaneously but unethically. I was delivering Book Storage to businesses, selling security devices do...


I woke up this morning and was still so tired. Really getting sick of that. A classic sign of depression, of course, but there is also the fact that… well… this county is a dark, wintry place t...


(1) One thing I dislike about the new Prosebox Format is that it is no longer as User Friendly to discover when I have new notes or new bookmarks. Sometimes there will be the in-page prompt but ...


Aye. I haven’t been here for the Thanksgiving Weekend. I was considering it, but then thought a complete separation may be in order. Truth be told, I had planned on not writing today (or at le...


As it highlights my current moods and accidental compartmental-mentality (which I hereby deem as CompartMentality) I shall share this as a list concept then follow up with NoJoMo Prompt for 11/23...


I have David Bowie’s “Changes” stuck in my head… but only one half of one stanza. I don’t know why, but open to interpretation, lol. “And these children that you spit on As they try to change th...

Dies Marti in BookThree: Flight Log 2016

Just learned that the Latin phrase “Dies Marti” is where we get “day” from in our calendar. Dies Marti “days of Mars.” Last night, towards the end of work (or I should say “work”) I felt an ol...


Weekend was okay. Went to Omaha for Pathfinder… which means a three hour trip down for five hours of gameplay and then a three hour trip back. But seeing friends, going to a real place, and get...


Have you seen the video of the Hamilton Cast speaking with Mike Pence? HERE is a link to it. That is pretty damned innocuous. Hell, it is actually fairly common for casts to mention famous peopl...


I first heard about Knock Knock as it was described as a “Chauvinist’s Wet Dream” and heard a lot of Dyed in the Wool Feminists rip on the film. They said a number of times that it was some big ...

Pátek in BookThree: Flight Log 2016

Got an e-mail from one of the jobs I applied to several months ago. It started with “Over 350 applicants were processed”… so that’s how I am so unemployable right now. There are hundreds of peo...
