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...


A happy new year to all! As some of you know, I don’t support the concept of “New Year’s Resolutions” because the cliche has become… list those things you wish to change, accept that you wish to...


Last night, as should be expected, was rough. Could NOT sleep. Because my medication is very important to me. Sort of lost patience waiting and went to Wal Greens… luckily, they were able to g...


Today (Tuesday) for reasons previously mentioned; I could not come in to work. I sent my “replacement” a note about why I wouldn’t be there and linked him an article about Double Jeopardy… how F...


Fun story… something I often say before I relate a story that is NOT fun. The night Wife and I returned from our whirl-wind Holiday Driving; my brother sends me a text that simply says “I’ll sen...


I do not have a Tumblr Account. Hell, my “twitter account” is mostly a place holder anymore. But this page, the one giving me these lovely things to post here, definitely makes me consider at l...


Monday: Not surprisingly… interviews to prepare for court were a bit intense today. Nobody has gone through court since mid-Wednesday.... so anyone that was arrested and could not make their bo...


The Holiday Weekend Comes to a Close. Thursday night certainly proved to me that my Wife deals with the scum of the earth. From 7 pm to 8 pm; there would be an announcement every ten minutes tha...


In my intellectual/political book, I wrote about the snow and extremely shitty management of roads by the government. HERE is an article written about it where an official specifically states ...


Last week, I applied to a job for an Assistant County Attorney position in a city that is almost exactly equi-distance from my parents and my in laws. The job posting expressly stated “prosecute...


Some patterns remind me far too well of my school days. The learning the object of my affection, the doing for, the attraction … and ultimate failure of reciprocation. Tonight, as I finished the...


Here is some classic sitcom bullshit. 1- after my shift at work, I went to check on Wife. She was… distraught this morning. So even though we have a work around… I wanted to make sure everything...


For my wife, Christmas has been well and truly ruined. As we had spent the last two holidays with my family; Wife and I decided to spend Christmas (or at least part of it) with her family. My wi...
