Last week I gained a new insight to my mother's dealings with La Princessa [I get these 'give em aliases' tendencies from her..that name's all her creation], who was a person at her Slavery that did no work and had no business being in the profession she is. Needless to say, working with La Princessa was a guaranteed irritant for my mom when they were working at the same time. I say I have insight because I was constantly irritated by the same persons all last week, one more than the … [Read more...]
Why do you insist on messing with my good mood?
Overdue office rant... I don't know what it is, but in regards to work, people have been really grating on my nerves this whole week. Usually I'm the type that will perk a brow, say 'assholery noted' in my head and leave it at that..cause honestly, I can't be bothered or I've been pushed into apathy mode where it's whatever you want me to do to get it past your desk. Mind you it shouldn't be that way, but that's how it is. I had to stop what I was in the middle of Monday because a task manager … [Read more...]
Yes, I do Think.
Dear Bossman, Thank you for talking to me as if I have no forethought at all. I can't tell you how much it improves me to have you sit there in your office and belittle my intuition, mental prowess, and prior experience. … [Read more...]
Door to Door
You ever have one of those moments during a day where you stop and think, 'man I get some weird, surreal shit happen to me'? I had one Saturday. I was in the middle of my 'make your core hate you' yoga abs workout when I get a pronounced knock at my door. Pronounced as in it was the 'shave and a haircut' knock. Which led me to think it might be someone I know dropping by rather unexpectedly- it had me thinking,' great, figures' as I still had yet to clean up, shower up, and my general … [Read more...]
Brokey-ed
My weekend started off so well. I treated myself to seeing TMNT Friday night. I made the last matinée which surprised me given the time of day I was headed to the Towne Center [the same time everyone leaves work]. I actually set myself to do that pesky 'I have to pick up such and such since I'm there and then I won't have to get up and go out Saturday to do it' frame of mind then grab the next showing. My skills sometime seven have me in awe..what can I say. Anyway..Saturday item grabbing … [Read more...]
Progression
I can't decide if I'm better or worse. The days since Tuesday has made it increasingly clear that on top of my sinus infection, I definitely have a virus, vindicating my suspicions. And because this has gotten me to the 'must.lie.down' level, it means it's a particularly nasty one. If given the choice, I'll take what I have over the the latest flu, simply because while my appetite is down, I'm not revisiting anything I eat. Which has got to be the ranked as one of the most hated ailments to … [Read more...]
Broken but Fixable
Previously.. So in one of my first entries after I arrived in Spain, I relayed that my mom’s Billem is no longer in the picture. I guess that just makes him Billem for all future references. I was in a layover on Sunday when I found this out, still en route to my final destination. I didn’t have much time to talk on the phone, so most of what I could get in was asking how she was when she told me that apparently it’s over between them. She said she was fine actually. Knowing her like I do, … [Read more...]
Nasty Bastard
So I'm out walking to a resturant with coworkers for some eats. I was actually a bit hungry and it was a chance to try something else new. There was also talk of going back to the place where I got to eat paella..but none of us remember how to get there exactly other than it was in 'that' general direction. The wind's kicking up and since the sun's down it's cooled quite a bit. I think we all subconsciously decided wandering aimlessy in 'that' general direction was best saved por un orto dia … [Read more...]

Because it needs to get done.
Well the problems I had when I got to Spain, they're sorted now. And due to -when- they got sorted, instead of having the weekend off, like I normally would, I'll clock in 20 hours over the weekend plus another 50 hours minimum this coming week. Meaning that in a pay period of two weeks, there'll be 110 hours on earnings statement. I keep being asked if I'm enjoying my vacation, but people seem to forget I don't just have one task to work on- I've been working all week. In fact I've been … [Read more...]
