As I’ve had to work some early hours this past week, I’ve had the opportunity to commute with Boy. Boy’s train is more than an hour earlier than mine, causing me to have to wake up super early. That, I do not like. However, I get to walk to the train with Boy and talk [...]

Ok, I’m kidding, but not really. Know what I mean?
Be good at your job, but don’t do too good of a job… at your job. In other words don’t do things poorly. Do them well, but do not exceed your expectations – or at least those perceived by your manger/co-workers. Not always. I understand there’s [...]

So, this morning, I was able to successfully transfer the contents of my man-purse to my pockets and backpack. And it was good.
The walk to work was a dream. Still warm, though early in the morning, and I didn’t have to worry about the inconvenience of carrying my jacket around with me.
I neglected one thing. [...]

Yesterday, I had the unfortunate task of dropping off Miss Kitty (my beautiful car) to a dealership, as she is a big ol’ mess right now – lots of little things wrong and in the last few days, one little thing started to become a big thing, so I had to bring her in to [...]

My jacket is my man-purse. I keep all of my precious items in my purse including, but not limited to, money, my train pass, business cards (in a wonderful, engraved case), and my glasses, even though I never wear them.
Every year around this time I have to give up my man-purse. The reason? [...]

2, almost 3 times have there been “surprise panties” in my laundry. Somehow, somewhere, someone’s panties snuck into my laundry between putting it into the washer and taking it out of the dryer of our building’s laundry room. And these aren’t Girls panties; they’re some stranger’s panties (but Girl’s panties should no more be in [...]

Lesson 1: How to Ruin Happiness
Don’t be fooled, ruining happiness is an art form and takes patience and a practiced hand. Achieving routine happiness-ruining is a skill. Although there are many subtle and overt ways to ruin someone else’s happiness, there is an easy way to start. I promise, that this a very simple way [...]

And, just as quickly (and quietly) as he entered into my life, he has left me… Alex (cute Russian) has quit his job. He cannot be blamed for the tragedy that is the ridiculousness that was/is his former employer. He was sweet, nice, and efficient – as we all know, we can’t have that.
Good-bye, dear [...]

I don’t live in the city. I work there, but I don’t live there. I never have, and I don’t suspect I ever will.
The city scares me. It’s not just the traffic and parking (though that’s part of it), it’s mostly the people. The people found around the streets in the city I bless with [...]

Today I volunteered at the food bank. It’s not something I normally do – or have ever done – but I thought it might be fun, so I was all for it.
My job was to help package food. See, food banks often get large quantities of food in gross from contributing corporations (as well as [...]
