As I was leaving work yesterday, another member of my team was teasing me (good-naturedly) about being stupid. I jokingly, and sotto voce, called her a jackass. No big deal, right? Wrong. Today, my boss called me into a conference room to chastise me for it. Item The First: There is absolutely NO PROFANITY tolerated [...]

Oh. Em. Gee. What the H-E-Double Hockey Sticks was I thinking with this whole “working full-time” bullshit? Let me give you a detailed list of all the ways this sucks: 1. I haven’t worked full-time in more than three years. I’m not used to being away from home so many hours a week. My ass [...]
Filed under: Workplace, complaining, where do I come up with this stuff?
My husband just told me that I’m failing all kinds of fails in regard to posting regularly. In fact, I’m a string of fails not unlike a fail necklace. I’m made of fail with a rich and creamy fail nougat. He’s nothing if not supportive. *sigh* Anyhow, I’ve been being beaten down by The Man [...]

So, today was my first day back at The Workplace. I was nervous and extra socially awk, but I manged to make it through the day without setting anything on fire. Or farting. Out loud. Get this: While scanning the company handbook, I happen to read a blurb that specifically prohibits blogging about The Workplace [...]

First off, thank you all for your advice on the bedtime issue and your well wishes. I’m going to let Maddie stay up as late as she’ll go and try to get us to 7:30. I’m also going to move her naps back to help her not get tired so early. Now, for the really [...]
I’m sorry I’ve been so quiet this week. I’d like to tell you that it’s because I’ve been really busy with some important tasks, but that’s just not the case. Basically, I’ve been lazy. I’ve had a few books that I’ve really wanted to read, so posting wasn’t a high priority. Also? I didn’t have [...]
