I got to talk to Jacquelyn again on Monday, and I can say definitively that nothing will happen if for no other reason that I may be a d-bag. I finally saw her walk into the kitchen area next to ...

I actually talked to her! The dominant piece of advice in the last entry was just to send her an IM asking her how she was getting along in the company so far. Sound advice, but I was just too ...

---

So there’s this woman…always the precursor to a good conversation, right? Anyways, there’s this woman I kind of work with. At least, she works for my company. My company acquired another busin...

Has it really been a month? My ankle is feeling much better, not as well as I’d like, but better still. A few days after the injury, I was walking all right. A week after the injury I was able...

I was thinking about my “romantic” history, and by that I mean all the women I was ever smitten with. I realized something interesting, but I’m not sure what it means. Every woman with whom I w...

I haven’t forgotten about my Prosebox, I just need to get a life so that I have more to update. Right now, my life has taken on a comfortable, if uneventful, routine. If anything disrupts that ...

I suck at it. I’ve long been an extra introverted type. On a scale of one to ten, with ten being full time shut in, I’m probably a nine. There are advantages to being an introvert. We think m...

Work last week was aggravating. Last year, the president of my business unit decided to have a beginning of the year meeting at a local resort. I say local, but the resort was about two hours n...

I tested for my blue belt yesterday. Nope, I didn’t make a 100. As a matter of fact, I barely passed. I was kind of shocked to say the least. When I had my review class a week ago, I thought...

My psuedo vacation is almost over. My office has almost finished with renovations, so I’ll be back in a cubicle on Tuesday. I’m going to miss not driving to work every morning. At least I’ve f...

How do you take your tea? I seldom drink tea, but I will admit that I enjoy a glass of sweet iced tea during the summer. I drink hot tea even more rarely, but when I do, I do so because I’m sick...
