Started the day off with a de-snowing of my car and Wife’s car. Then off to a dermatology appointment. Here’s a new twist… is anyone else really self-conscious the first time they have to take ...

---

Writing because for the first time this year, I failed to do a Daily Entry. Well… that was yesterday but I still wasn’t planning on one today… so does that make it two? Yesterday was another LON...

---

Hopefully… today isn’t a wasted day. Things to do, and all that but waiting on others to make sure they can get done. First, easy, empty the dishwasher. THAT doesn’t require any patience at all...

---

I may, in fact, be a little slow on the uptake. Lord knows that was always true of my interactions with girls. But now it seems it may apply to my work, as well. Reviewing my work e-mails tod...

---

You’d think I should be a little smarter. My wife bought something to help with the snoring… an oral piece that resembles a complicated mouth guard. She wanted me to try it last night. Of cours...

---

Alan Rickman dead at 69 after battle with cancer. David Bowie dead at 69 after battle with cancer. Cancer sucks, y’all! In other shitty news… I had my recurring dream that I was a telemarketer ag...

---

Work Style Conundrums.... when I woke up this morning… I was super tired. So I thought about it and decided… if my department’s budget crazy lady is going to freak out at labor expenses… I’ll ju...

---

Oh… work. Got into the office today… Budget Bitch is freaking out again. HOW can our department keep spending money?! Uhm… labor. When you have employees… that is kind of a repeated expense. ...

---

Dude… seriously… I sometimes think my wife is right. She hasn’t said it in a while (thank God, or I’d be royally fucking messed up) but… yeah… if “gender roles, stereotypes, and bullshit” matter...

---

Does anyone remember my VERY FIRST interview after passing the bar? Allllll the way back in May of 2015? It was with Blackhawk County. The county where I went to college, met my wife. The cou...

---

Much to my dismay; I have become a pretty miserable guy. Even saying that: yesterday was a pretty miserable day. Wife and I certainly have issues, this is no surprise at all… but this constant e...

---

I know it is wrong, I know it is inappropriate but sometimes with my wife I can’t help thinking.... “That ADHD bitch!” My absolute favorite anime of ALL TIME is “Steins Gate.” I am super obsess...

---

After getting more “No, we won’t hire you” letters… and seeing no more job openings… it is hard to fight the crippling negativity in myself. These are the times I certainly wish I was home. My ...

---

What is worse than the humorous not serious bad news of not winning the lottery? The serious bad news that the jobs I’ve interviewed for have all now officially rejected me. WHAT THE FUCK?! ...

---

So far so good! Exercise and a new humidifier by the bed seem to have helped the snoring somewhat… allegedly. Wife said that I actually had “cute little soft snores” through most of the night. ...

---

Yes. I’m writing again. I’ve been waiting on the same Mod for 3 hours. My predecessor suggests I should just roll with it. I can’t call any other Mods because I’m officially waiting for one t...

---

I’ve been writing a lot today. That’s what happens when I’m expected to do a 12 hour (straight) day in the Law Library. It certainly doesn’t help that the COs aren’t bringing the MoDs I call. ...

---

Looking over websites titled “How to work your career” and “Jump starting your career path” and “Getting the job that is right for you!” Actually makes me feel worse. Because all of them start...

---

I woke up in my bed this morning. Next to my wife. So, when I see her tonight (if) I should ask her if that means my snoring wasn’t as bad or if she just decided to deal with it. The picture ...

---

Funny. I woke up with this song stuck in my head: Last night, we tried it again. I slept in the bed with wife… she woke me with a “gentle nudge” and off I went to the futon. As expected, when...

---

Something must be done. Last night, I offered to sleep on the futon in the living room. Wife would have none of it and insisted I join her in bed. Reluctantly, I did so. For the next 4 hours;...

---

Two more applications to two more counties today. That just leaves 80 more counties before I’ve applied to literally every single county in Iowa. I saw an amazing picture today with an amazing...

---

Much better. I have condensed my entire history (really, only 2 years) down into fewer books. While I was freaking out about so many different things… it made sense to have so many different boo...

---

Kind of a heads up… I’m going to be playing with Old Entry locations a bit in an attempt to consolidate some of my Prosebox Books. I don’t know if that is going to trigger a crap ton of “Hey, ne...

---

Oh… my body is ridiculous. I only missed a few days of pills before I got my Rx filled and yet… Saturday was rough. Sore, lots of pain, sleepless, zombie-like. And… the current “sleeping arran...
