The CD has landed

I sat down at my computer this morning to check my email before heading out to work, and noticed that I had messages from both of my parents. They had both sent me a link to the same article from the Oregonian, so despite my rush to get out the door, I took a [...]

Pod possessed

Last christmas, thanks to my parents, I joined the ranks of the white-strings-in-ears zombies that seem to roam everywhere these days. I love my pod, and frequently wish I had gotten one with a larger memory, because I’m close to hitting my 5000 song wall and I’m nowhere near having all I want on [...]

Friendly face

I had a rough start to my morning today. I got to work a little late, sat at my computer for an hour and then heading out across campus to attempt obtain the black access key that will actually allow me to get into the suite that contains my office. I wasn’t the [...]

funny/weird…

I just had a really odd/funny experience.
The phone rang, I answered and a husky voiced woman said, “Hi Mama-la, I’m just calling to tell you I’m going to sleep now.” I was a little taken aback when I heard this. One, because I have no children (and if I did, they [...]

Thrice wet

I got up this morning, and took a groggy shower. Silly me for thinking that that would be the only time I’d get wet today.
One of the perks of my new job is that my office is all the way across campus from where our mail gets delivered, which means that at [...]

airport blues

My dad was here this weekend, and now I’m suffering from a bit of the “had to say goodbye to my male parent blues.” (Much preferred to the “what am I doing with my life” blues I was experiencing last week). It was a short visit, but we crammed a lot into 48 [...]

Sorry about last night’s post, I’m doing better today. I feel like I’ve regained my equilibrium, perspective and my faith that I am having and will [...]

feeling sad

So, I’m feeling kind of down. This isn’t how I want to be, but I’m not entirely sure how to make it go away.
I’m having a little disappointment about the new job. It’s really feeling like I made a lateral move, not the step up that I was going for. Maybe [...]

Window Treatments

My new office has the strangest window treatments I’ve ever experienced. First off the window starts about four feet off the floor. This means that when I’m sitting at my desk, looking out the window isn’t easy. It requires cocking my head upwards, and then I can only see a slice of [...]
