I didn’t realize I was as out of sorts as I was until Todd said something today when we were out.
(What were we doing? Why, adding another couple of books to my reference shelf, specifically The Science Book and A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words with my shiny little Chapters gift [...]

Is that a Migraine Coming On?

Calling it a Night
I’m trying to self-medicate with a stiff rum-and-coke after a day that tested the very limits of my patience.
So while I sip the luke-warm beverage, the tinkle-tonk noise of Boom Blox 2 plays on the Wii while Todd and his buddy amuse themselves and the early night’s breeze brings with it the strange but intoxicating [...]

The Moment of Truth (Hurts)
Fifteen minutes to go before I dial the number of doom (i.e., work) to call in for my shift bid.
I hadn’t let myself get too stressed out about it up until this morning. With a shift bid for about 130 – 150 employees it’s hard to get a handle of what might be available [...]

Not Quite As Planned
The goal was to take this, my first day starting at 9:45 am, to try something new with my writing. The plan was to get up at 7:00 am, get ready by 8:00 am, and write from then until 9:00 am. Then it would be strap on the boots and head out the [...]

Friday Fictional Housekeeping
(Wow, if I’m gonna hit 12-Babbles of Christmas Posts, I’m pretty far behind! Need to either catch up or chop ‘em up into smaller posts. Some of them are real long. Sorry about that.)
Friday.
Normally when I say the word Friday I don’t actually mean the day Friday. If I was saying ‘Friday’ I was quite [...]

Demons excised and wireless incarcerated!
‘Cause that’s what it takes, apparently.
I’ve finished Fable 2, again, so that it no longer sings sweet siren songs of doom that lure me away. I will shortly be turning the wireless off, so that I can no longer linger on message boards were I do not post or spend the time endlessly refreshing reddit.com. [...]

What Happened To That Week?
Honestly, I’m not even sure what I did from day to day. We ended up going out a lot after work, which drains me totally. Friday we shopped, Saturday quiet, then Thanksgiving (my Canada is showing), then helping some friends move furniture they purchased at the auction Monday, and then yesterday was our election.
And now, [...]

Shift in Schedules
Improbable as I thought it to be, I actually managed to get day shift on this shift-bid. I’m going from a 2:00 pm to 10:15 pm shift to a 8:45 pm to 5:30 pm shift. Being 34th of 39 total full-time agents, I worried I’d have only the latest start times to choose [...]

The Work Effect
Again, I was suprisingly productive at work yesterday, until the last two hours where I was inundated with the silliest calls by the silliest people … people deathly afraid that their televisions would shock them … people calling in to say they haven’t had services working for two months but need someone over tonight to [...]
