12. working life: the first years

I just wanted to say hi. I'm still alive... and all that. I love Chris, I love my apartment, I love my friends (especially when they come and visit)... I am addicted to laser tag, my sweet sweet vehicle, and a bunch of other things. I pretty much suck at my job, don't really like…

As you know, being home means fewer late nights with a laptop in my bed and fewer needs to bear my soul. I have my Chris back; I have my de-stress time back. A month after bootcamp I'm so glad to be home. Life has gotten back to normal, and into a new groove of…

I apparently seem to lack confidence. I find this extremely interesting. Depending on which of my acquaintances you ask, you might find extraordinarily different answers. In fact I think it's entirely scenario-based. If I'm in some sort of "forced mingling" situation I would frankly rather run aw...

Work work work... (meaning be bored at work all day and then come home and take care of the apartment). No time to write? Not being lonely in a hotel room also helps that... and the lack of laptop. - (Indecision)

I'm home! I missed Chris a ton and it's so nice to be back home with him. At the same time I'm going through major bootcamp withdrawal - which is interesting, considering the past two nights I've felt rather anti-social. At any rate, the only people I want to chat with online are Baby Bear…

So, in order to end the cliff-hanger (though I don't think anyone was really on the edge of their seat... if anyone read it at all), I guess I should reveal my lie. I do not, in fact, have a level 60 WoW character. Yet. She's 58, and that's where I quit in June. Probably…

I was off visiting Sir Curtis' diary (man after so many years he still manages to pack his readers in there) and enjoyed the challenge he bestowed upon us - 3 truths and 1 lie. Now this is a bit of an extension of the usual "ice-breaker" activity we do at my company called 2…

I can't believe I'm actually bored enough to do this... here goes. If you're a guy find someone else's - I'm not posting your half of the quiz. Deal with it.Girls fill out the girls quiz; guys fill out the guys quizLets see what type of person is best for you.GIRLS QUIZMark all that applyPreppy&h...

Start at 8am, end at 10pm. Good stuff. We "learned" html today. I wanted to shoot myself... how is it that some IT professionals actually have never seen html before? How is it possible that I'm forced to copy and past tons of text and put <p> tags everywhere? And get paid for it?? Sigh.I&h...

I went to the Mets game today; they lost. I can't say I cared all that much. However, combined with the fact that my two other teams lost, it was just kind of a bad day in the world of baseball. I'm glad I got to see Shea Stadium; I haven't been in many MLB…
