This week tried to throw a lot at me to make me lose my shit: more laundry center woes, tropical storm remnants, car issues, deadlines at work, distractions at work, and overwhelming amount of tasks at work and home. Fortunately…
Not my favorite week. Work was overwhelming. The washer/dryer saga continued. And the weather downright sucked. But that week is behind me. All I can do is put my head down, tackle the to-do list at work, and make more…
We started the week with our contractor having to rip out our shower in the bathroom we just had re-done. We had hoped to save a few bucks and keep the existing shower insert, but he found some water issues…
Quite a busy week actually. Besides normal home life, work, and school, we also just seemed to have done a lot. We went to Penny Post because the Traveler’s Notebook stamp caravan stopped there this week. We got a print…
My wife is an elementary school teacher. She’s currently in her 12th year of teaching in our county. Before that she was a preschool director and a Child Protective Services (CPS) social worker. Clearly she loves helping and guiding children.…
I’m reminded almost daily how bad social media can be. Most notably with neighborhood groups filled with a mish-mash of random levels of idiot. You know you don’t HAVE to respond to every post you see, right? You don’t even…
Approximately a month ago, a teammate and I updated a process to request account changes on various networks that we control We automated everything and are running it through our ticketing process so we can approve and audit the requests…
I’m in a cranky mood today. I do my best not to pass that along to folks I interact with, but I apologize in advance if I fail. I’ve been ruminating about various things and for some reason all the…
A couple pet peeves I didn’t realize I had reared their ugly heads this morning in the Costco gas line. People who get back in their car after starting the pump. I know the chances of static electricity sparking the…
Testing out a new “newsletter” style format for this post. I’ll try compiling all my thoughts, updates, links, etc. and posting them once per week (or so). So, let me know what you think of the format. Maybe it’s stupid.…
Writing down the things that come to my head while trying to stay safe during COVID-19 lockdown. I started a diary post for week 27 but never got around to finishing and publishing it; so some of those thoughts are…
Putting my random, rabid thoughts down on “paper” for the world to see while we all have this shared pandemic experience. One of my pet peeves is pickup trucks that back into the parking spot and hang over half the…
Writing down things I think about while trying to socially isolate during this freaking pandemic. So yeah, this pandemic is still happening. Still. I honestly don’t know if the mask thing is still a “debate” or not. I’ve severely limited…
Blurbs from my mind while coping with novel coronavirus and written down in one spot. I saw a post that really resonated with me on Facebook from a friend of mine from High School. His original post was a meme/graphic…
Pulling stuff out of my head while and trying to keep things as “normal” as possible in the year 2020. I’m still on the fence about whether 2020 is actually an insane year, or it just seems like an insane…
Thinking thoughts and posting whatever comes to mind during my self-isolation. We’re in this together (well, those of us actually doing this). I missed a week. Sue me. My contract ended last week, so it was several weeks of “hair…
Keeping an archive of my thoughts, rants, questions, and other drivel from my mind during the COVID-19 crisis. It’s been a rough week. Current job is winding down, and the transition tasks are ramping up as the contract comes to…
This is just a place where I keep my thoughts, ideas, rants, raves, etc. while trying to do my part to flatten the curve … still … almost five months later. **heavy sigh** Settle in kids while I tell you…
My sporadic, periodic, and traumatic pieces of brain bytes that I’ve managed to scrabble down somewhere for science to dissect after I’m long gone. SCIENCE! Yeah yeah yeah, I skipped a week. So sue me. I was busy NOT paying…
If you don’t know what I’m doing here or why I’m doing this by now … where have you been? Seriously though, it’s just shit I’ve thought about this week while going through this whole pandemic thing. A three-day work…
Bits of chaff and other leftover stuff that drips out my ears after my brain has finished chewing on it for a while. I didn’t have a lot of time last week to “think”. I took a few days off…
Posting stuff I think about or that happens to me every week of this pandemic. Lucky you, you stumbled across this post and will never regret it. I was raised an Air Force brat and went to a lot of…
Stream of consciousness stuff from my brain-pod as we learn to navigate this new, topsy-turvy world. Less time on social media has been so nice this week. I check maybe once per day the Facebooks for any notifications. I don’t…
So many thoughts and emotions running through my head and heart this week. Here’s just a few of them … sorry in advance I’ve been avoiding blogging or posting on social media about the protests happening all over this country.…
