Happiness is Working in Black Earth

Today has been a really good day. It’s sad that it’s Sunday and I have work tomorrow (especially since my mom has it off), but at least it’s been satisfying. I just got in from the back balcony where I “planted” some artificial flowers. We used to have real ones every summer, but you have […]

Shrek 2

Oh man. You want a good laugh? Go see “Shrek 2″. I liked the first one, but I loved this one. I, of course, adored Puss ‘n Boots, but then I suppose that’s no big shock since I’m such a cat-person.
That movie is precisely what I needed after the day I had. And it was […]

Almost There

All right. So my list of things to be grateful for didn’t have the effect I wanted them to have. They didn’t put me into a happier, more appropriate Friday mood. I went off to lunch, tried to get lost in The Poisonwood Bible, found it difficult because I was fuming at how everything I […]

Tryin’

I have found that I am not in a terribly good mood today - I should be much lighter and carefree given the fact that it’s Friday, and I only have a few more hours of work to go before the weekend starts. Plus, I’m going to see Shrek 2 tonight with my mom, which […]

How Band-aid Companies Make Their Millions

No, it’s not because we humans are so clumsy and are constantly injuring ourselves (or, at least, that’s only one reason). It’s because band-aids can sometimes cause the injury.
No, I’m not kidding.
A few days ago, I had cut myself on my arm somehow or other, probably from my cat’s back claws when I picked […]

Need to Step Back

I feel a bit foolish. And at the same time… not. A good friend of mine, Erica has been diligently reading Book One, and although I’m supposedly going to get a huge pack of paper from her with little corrections here and there, every so often she gives me a bit of insight.
She just did, […]

Transport Woes

Sometimes my transport tasks go really, really well. Sometimes I get amazing rates and the truck comes, loads up, and delivers right on time. It is rare that things go that smoothly, however.
Take right now for example. I have a rate from one truck company, for which I already sort of said yes to, […]

“Rain, rain, go away, DON’T come back another day”

Honestly. I was always under the impression that it was April showers that brought May flowers. It’s so gray and blah outside, and when I was out for my morning break, there was a fine, constant mist coming down. Yuck.
Speaking the yuck factor… This place, work, that is, is going to be HELL for me […]

Damn - I seem to be having title-block these days. I’m just leaving this one blank.
I am much too sleepy today considering the facts that it’s only Tuesday and I had a holiday yesterday. I’m seriously draggin’ today, though at least I’m still managing to get the necessary tasks done. This afternoon I think I’m […]

Drawing a Blank on a Title

Today is a very lethargy-inducing day. It rained all morning, and now, although the rain has taken a brief reprieve, it’s pretty dismal-looking out there. The heat that my landlady obviously felt compelled to turn on even though it’s not terribly cold out certainly doesn’t help matters. Then again, I’m sure that I helped the […]
