every day life

For anyone who has been reading my diary for a sufficient amount of time, you're aware that my email was hacked twice. The first time was my former best friend, who did it in order to find damaging things I may have said about her to my then-girlfriend to use those comments against me. The…

It was probably a mistake to do our weekly grocery shopping trip on Sunday night - two days before Christmas - at Walmart. The place was packed, which was slightly amusing, but not really surprising. Our walmart is a supercenter, but it's a small one - and it's not one that is often frequented by...

Looks like the world isn't ending today after all - but Florida is in the midst of a cold snap, and at a brisk 52 degrees, I'm glad that I'm not up north for the cold weather. Things are still going good - all the christmas shopping is done, and I'm looking forward to a…

It's been a long time since I've updated, and I'm way past due. Needless to say, my attempts at NJM were an abject failure - for the second half of the month, at least. December is flying by, and I don't know if I'm more excited about the end of the world - or Christmas.…

I have to admit, I'm starting to get nervous about the new job. I've had eight years of familiarity with the job I'm leaving behind, and starting over at the bottom is always a daunting process - especially to people like me with anxiety. I'm not really worried about being able to do the job…

My boss has given me the best possible gift. The best news is that she doesn't realize it's a gift. The mail room guy is taking a vacation next week for Thanksgiving. His backup person quit last week, and since there's no one else that can do it, of course it makes sense to train…

I would just like to take this moment to announce one thing. I got the job! I got the call shortly after 9 this morning, along with an official offer letter. I'm able to start on December 3, which means that I'll still get my severance package and bonus, and I got a significant raise,…

I was reminded recently by someone I actually respect that the best revenge is to live well. I intend to follow that advice. Today was a proud day, a productive day and a day of reckoning. Much to the chagrin of most of my adoptive family as well as my more conservative friends, Obama carried&hel...

I want to blame my continual bad mood on the three day migraine that is, for whatever reason, taking a brief respite temporarily, but I don’t think I can. I honestly don’t know what’s wrong with me. Maybe the stress of job searching finally caught up with me. Maybe the reality of the end of…

I've had a pretty bad migraine for two days straight. As mom said, I was a grumpy mcnugget because of it. The interview wasn't really a typical interview at all. She just wanted to hear about some of my experience and ideal work environment, and she seemed really positive overall. I'm hoping for ...
