Bit of Ivory

My employer is closing. I’m losing my job. Maybe by the end of the week, definitely by the end of next.
This royally sucks.

Don’t get me wrong. I like my job. I don’t love it, but I like it. Most of the time the people I deal with outside of the company are polite. My coworkers are all nice. And how much, really, can you complain about a job that lets you play around on the internet ALL [...]

I’ve decided that I need to update more. At first I thought of posting every single day, but then I realized that the main reason I haven’t been posting much lately is that my life has become incredibly boring. I figured you didn’t want to read about how I got up, went to work, went [...]

I mean, I always knew that music affects you, but this has been such a dramatic change, I’m really quite amazed.

Yup, it’s begun. I’ve only been listening to it for an hour, and I’m already sick of it.

It sucks even more that they’ve discontinued it for the foreseeable future, and didn’t let us know about it until this morning, when it didn’t show up in our accounts. And it sucks most that even though the checks were supposed to be here [...]

Okay, so. This week has been so slow. And today has been slower. There are several reasons for this.
The first is that I haven’t been sleeping well (for reasons unknown), so I am dead tired. Going to see Hairspray at 9:30 PM on Wednesday night did not help this situation.
The second is that it’s Friday, [...]

I’ve decided who my Most Hated Artist Played By KOSY is. This was not an easy decision. Even the groups/artists I like get played too much (I hear at least four Carpenters songs a day, and they only play about 8 different ones, so it gets old). But there are several artists that I just [...]

That is what I have managed to make out of my 100% hemp yarn. That’s what I get for thinking that I could wind it into a ball without the aid of a swift or even a chair back. It will probably take an hour to untangle. Joy. It’s a pretty color, though. A very [...]
