I’ve adopted some houseplants and will try not to kill them. I’ve been hesitant to be responsible for another living thing’s only link to this universe. It’s a lot of responsibility. I would feel horrible if I was guilty of murder by negligence or ignorance. How am I supposed to care for another, if IContinue reading “August 2019 Report”

I’ve been in my current position for about a month now. While I am getting marginally better, the work has not gotten any easier. It’s still a beast. I’m still making foolish mistakes. It sucks to suck, and it sucks to suck for this long. I feel the pressure to perform better by now. Oy.Continue reading “July 2019 Report”

Hey June, don’t make it bad. Just when I was beginning to master my job, they changed me to Night Operations (or as I like to call it: Night’s Watch, Dark Night Begins, or Welcome to Night Vale). My job is to decide what shipments get sent out of our warehouse on a nightly basisContinue reading “June 2019 Report”

Well it’s a new month, and you know what that means. Please tell me! I’m getting the hang of things at work. One of the unexpected benefits of this job is that time flies by. I wrote my first computer program! You put in your text, and it fixes your word choice. The next projectContinue reading “May 2019 Report”

Woot! I found a job and I love it! After three long months of unemployment, I have finally matched with a company culture that I feel fits my personality like a pair of skinny jeans. I’m in love. It’s focused on profit, the co-workers are young and fun, and best of all, they have cateredContinue reading “April 2019 Report”

December was a motley success. You can have anything you want in life, but you can’t have everything. I wanted to start my new job, get a new apartment, and fly home. I flew home because seeing my family was a priority. I got a new apartment, because I wanted to settle in Lansing. My job took a backContinue reading “December 2018 Report”

Oh boy. I just finished writing 50,000 words. It’s going to resemble a novel. I’ve already determined 12,000 words won’t make it into the final draft. I feel totally drained. It took every gram of courage and focus to write this damn thing. I spent so much time on this beast. I’m not even sureContinue reading “November 2018 Report”

It’s incredible how busy you can be doing nothing. The problem with being unemployed is that days blur into weeks, weeks into months, one month into the next. I had a lot of fun these past two months. I caught up with multitudinous friends. It was grand, but I wouldn’t recommend it. Unemployment has beenContinue reading “September-October 2018 Report”

When I got to land, I kissed the ground. It’s incredible how hard I worked to get here, only to desperately want to get away. I remember a year and a half ago wanting to be a bartender on a cruise ship. Now I want nothing to do with either industry. The cruise ship wasn’tContinue reading “August 2018 Report”

Wholly Guacamole, it’s March 6th already. February was both fun and boring. It was fun in the sense that I didn’t have any responsibilities and I could do what ever I want. I got to try playing a “one time D&D campaign,” which let me create a character, beat up a bad guy, and thenContinue reading “February 2018 Report”

Well, it’s that time of year, February 1st. The time when we officially give up on our New Year’s resolutions and try again next year. The time we give up the charade of “Christmas-time cheer.” The time when we stop complaining about how consumerist Christmas is, and start complaining about how consumerist the next holidayContinue reading “January 2018 Report”
