In which I share with you some of my prized possessions. Part Three: The Apple coaster This is a coaster I cut out of a mouse pad: I worked for a company called Telegroup in Iowa a long time ago. It was an Apple shop, and I ended up with this old school Apple mousepad […]
In which week 5 of my unemployment marks the beginning of the ass kicking. It’s 4:33 on Friday. It’s been a week since the killer interview, and I haven’t heard anything back. This probably means that they’re not going to hire me. In order to (legally) receive UI benefits, I must apply for three jobs […]
In which unemployment is beginning to take its toll. I stayed up well past two, watching Torchwood on Netflix. (I still love you, Ianto!) Then I slept for about twelve hours. Not straight through, though. I actually woke up at ten and thought about getting up, but I didn’t. I just laid there until I […]
In which I had a great time on New Year’s Eve at Pub 21 with the band. Load-in was at 4:30, but I was late because I had to take a paper copy of my resume (and cover letter and references) to WorkSource to apply for a job. WTF? Why wouldn’t they let me email […]
In which I share with you some of my prized possessions. Part Two: The Yoga Aphorisms of Patanjali This is a pocket-sized copy of Patanjali’s sutras: I bought it at Powell’s Books a long, long time ago. Sutra means suture or stitch. I’ve kept this book while letting go of hundreds of others because it […]
In which I share with you some of my prized possessions. Part One: Espresso Maker This is my beat up old Italian stove top espresso maker: I bought it at Merchant’s Deli, in Walla Walla WA, about thirteen years ago. Merchant’s has been open on Main street for thirty years, but has just been purchased. […]
In which I review the new device! For Christmas, I bought myself a Kindle. (It probably wasn’t particularly clever to spend nearly three hundred bucks on an unnecessary electronic device the very week I got laid off, but whatever. This may be why I never had kids. Moving on!) The form factor is nice. It’s […]
In which there is an itemized list. And reindeer. And a puppy. First of all, reindeer: Second of all, I received the following items for Christmas this year: – guinea pig plush toy, small – candles (2) – baskets, organizational/decorative (2) – hat, crocheted – gloves, knit – mittens, wool, knit, lined with fleece – […]
In which I ramble on about nothing. I stayed out all night last Wednesday playing a silly drinking game called Beirut with beer, ping pong balls, and three awesome people. Friday morning’s yoga class was awesome but left me sore for two entire days. No more classes until the middle of January, sadly. I sold […]
In which I’m not really having a very good day. I got a heads-up yesterday that I was going to be laid off today so I did the right thing last night and cleaned up my work computer, uninstalling silly applications and clearing browser caches and passwords and blah blah blah. Today I went in […]
