Chasing Waterfalls

This is my horoscope for today:
“The solar system is shifting gears today, AMANDA, and it is liable to trigger a great transformation that will last seven months. The change will center on the means you use to fulfill yourself, in terms of both your career and your love life. If you feel somewhat hemmed in […]

I just wanted to say that every morning since Sunday, I’ve woken up in shock at the number of people confirmed dead in the 10 countries affected by the massive Boxing Day tsunami. This morning I heard 70,000, and I know that number will just continue to climb. These are the preliminary deaths. Next will […]

… the water is off. This is such fucking bullshit. Is it not bad enough that I (and my coworkers) have to be in the office between Xmas and New Year’s, but now we have to be here with our legs crossed? GodDAMN. The plumber is supposed to fix it all by the end of […]

Just wanted to let you all know that the water is on - sort of - here at work, so I won’t be running to the gas station fifty gazillion times today.
Thank god. Also, thank god I can have coffee now. I was starting to get mighty bitchy.

I’m not impressed, at all. This morning, I pulled into the parking lot at work, and my coworker, who was in yesterday, informed me that there hadn’t been any water in the building all day. She had to go to the frickin’ gas station to pee, people. The prez knew about it, but he didn’t […]

This is just a quick entry since I’m sort of going through posting withdrawal. We’re back in Montreal, and thankfully, we had a much better trip in than we did last Thursday going up north. Last Thursday, it was warm, but foggy and it rained really hard, helping to melt some of the snow and […]

I’m almost there. In less than two hours, the Xmas party will start, and then after I’ve stayed for what would be considered “long enough”, I’m outta here. I can’t begin to express how happy I’ll be when I walk in the door of my house tonight, knowing that I don’t need to think about […]

Two more days until I’m off for 5 (including weekend, of course). I can’t begin to express how excited I am. I’m really going to need it, by the looks of it, because this week is turning out to be a bit hellish at work. Word to the wise: never EVER try to schedule shipments […]

I haven’t had the best of mornings, but it’s all work-related, so I’m not going to bore you with the details. I just thought I’d take a few minutes to write about other stuff before I scarf down my food and head out to do some writing in my frigid car.

“Frigid car?” you ask.
Well, yes. […]

Today is a bit of a crabby day for me. I’m not exactly sure why, but I’m sure the weather is playing its part. The morning started off warm-ish, though damp, but the temperature is supposed to plummet throughout the day, which means all the wet surfaces (including my very steeply sloped driveway) will freeze.
