My friend David of David and Sarah once observed in himself that when he is in full work mode it drains him of mental energy he'd otherwise have reserved for creative personal activities. I find that this does happen to me too. Now that I am engrossed in my work all the time, I find that I still...

Over the last few weeks I have become increasingly disenchanted with my job. I consider myself lucky, most people hate their job from the very beginning. It took me a year and a half. The problem is not the actual job. I like the job I do and I like the company I work for. Most parts of it anyway. I...

However, when it comes to most of the women I know, there seems to be the common mantra of, "I just need to not give a shit." Whether it's "giving a shit" if a potential new boyfriend that's probably "just...

I'm not a mom, and I haven't been a student for years. So I guess in some ways, I owe my job for letting me hang on to a feeling I always kind of liked - that "back to school" feeling. I was one of those students who always adored it - the coming of fall, the buying of school clothes and supplies,...
So, there was a good explanation for Sunday's flake. And he should have just TOLD me on Sunday... But Justin's grandmother died. And that's why he was in a bad mood. I need to start counting grandparents though. He told me, after I fought with him back right after our initial "break," that his...
It is Neil's fault that I have fallen in love with the taste of some good bubbly mineral water. Either because a) he is the one who introduced me to drinking the stuff (it is his general favorite thing to drink and it is always in the house) or b) because he is the reason I moved to this ultra-warm...
Mostly because I know that in 6 and a half hours, I will officially be on vacation. Hence the pritty pikture that I did not take. No. This is most certainly not my work. I wish! The other day M took me around to the Circuit City to pick up a WiiFit (which I will review just as soon as I get my hands...
I know this blog is also visited by people who are specifically a fan of one of the three main actors, but I advise all fans to read this interview because it's fun.

Here's another photograph from the amazing collection of James Walker, of another weekend in another century. I'm 99% sure that...
1 - I still do not have a time sheet. I have been here for a little over a week... paperwork, I've been told, has been done. This is one reason that I do not like working for this place. 2 - Last night, I discussed the possibility of getting a degree in art education. But will schools phase art...
Bring on July 7th, before I kill someone in this family. Staying with the in-laws to help them out was a big mistake! And really....how much shit can someone put up with! Every time there is a bill or letter, I am being asked what is says and what it is. Then the content of the letter is being...
Source Law firms are generally conservative entities, tepid about breaking barriers when it comes to work-life balance or diversity. But today's Wall Street Journal reports on one barrier that I'm betting every law firm is avid to bust right through: the $1,000-an-hour billing rate. Nathan Koppel...
WORK: I am learning lessons in scheduling with our new travel-all-the-time thing going on at work. Generally speaking, I am gone two nights and three days...what I am learning is that if I want to survive, I can't schedule those back to back. i.e. The week before last I was gone Wednesday through...
So, some of you may have noticed that I've been replying more these last few days than I have in the last few months. Guess what?! I've changed jobs again! ... yeah, it's a long story and my old boss can jump up my ass. What else has been going on? I finished my Construction Safety Officer...
