I'm stuck in a situation where I have to work open to close several days in a row. I've got two more (thankfully shorter) days of this to go, and the list of things that I should be doing is ever increasing. Storm violence led to a lack of sleep (which I'm itching to get … Continue reading Sometimes, you just have to let yourself be lazy.
I don't really understand the statement, "Covid-19 is a hoax" that people are putting on Facebook, Twitter, protest signs the past few weeks. Um, Covid-19 exists. Over 80,000 people have died from it and hundreds of thousands are carriers of it. It's been around and about all over the world. So, how is Covid-19 a … Continue reading Q #132: What do the protesters saying “Covid-19 is a hoax” mean? (& other q’s about all this…)
Considering how easily I get mind-numbingly bored (and you, dear readers, have bumped into a few of those posts), that might seem surprising. My kids, so to speak, are feathered, finned, or have paws and floppy ears. It hit me today, while people are so worried about their families and I'm doing all I can … Continue reading One thing I realized I’m thankful for during this virus-time: I live alone.
I wasn't supposed to work today, but a co-worker got hurt and couldn't walk, so I took her shift. And then, because things never stop changing in this CV crazy-world we live in right now, I got to give my input in a conference call with the owner that I didn't expect to. We have … Continue reading Dodged a bullet today, though I can’t help wondering if I’m jumping in front of another…
Over the years, I've seen a lot of "opportunities" on the web and on TV that have made me just paranoid by reflex. I never have gotten into home distribution or some marketing opportunity, though I've had others try to get me into them. As far as I know, nobody is trying to get to … Continue reading Q#121–Where’s the line between Multi-Level Marketing & a Pyramid Scheme?
I guess this was the logical conclusion to running on nothing but junk food and caffeine for several days on end, working open to close four days in a row. I wasn't supposed to go back in until two this afternoon, but when I woke up this morning, I went from a slight bit of … Continue reading When you finally get a break from the fight… & end up sick.
I thought I was in the clear. After working in the morning and a short detour to try and relax (it didn't work because I didn't have much time, and a lengthy phone call about practically nothing from mom that I still don't get), I set off for the offsite job. At least the traffic … Continue reading Fighting the Fog, part 2…
I was hoping when I got home tonight I'd have some time to cook or clean, or just finish one of the books I've been trying to finish for weeks. But now I sit here, an inch away from falling asleep, after working a near 12 hour shift because nobody else could work. And because … Continue reading Fighting the fog…
I've lost count how many times I've started this 12 week program, only to stop around week 4 or 5 (I made it to week 8 at one point. It's not like it's a crazy boot camp or anything like that. Rather, it's that even though I wanted my creativity to flourish and take over, … Continue reading Beginning “The Artist’s Way” morning pages… again.
In essence, my future is a black hole. I suppose that's true for most of us, but I'm really in a strange state regarding my job right now. My boss is leaving the job after next week, and I'm really bummed out about it. I wondered what would happen to the place if she were … Continue reading Looking into the black hole, and I can’t see the safety net.
