2%

Heard a statistic yesterday that 98% of all blogs are currently in a state of abandonment. (Which isn't nearly as fun as a state of abandon, a state I all too rarely allow myself to enjoy.)

I frankly don't care if anyone reads this, a good thing since no one does, so I'm going to try to stay in the 2%. It's a beautiful spring-cusp-of-summer day here in the Valley, my vegetable garden is thriving, I have two dogs, I'm always trying to lose weight, I work at a place where characters abound -- therefore, there's no reason to NOT post. I have plenty of material, that's for sure!

Despite the material, I'd rather play World of Warcraft, so I'm off to kill things outside of Booty Bay.

Unforeseen Circumstances

UC 1)  WW postponed because buddy couldn't make it.  

UC 2)  TdeC doubtful because of rain.

UC 3)  Strawberry jam cancelled because of moldy berries.

BOTHER!  

Back to the W

Going back to WW tonight.  I've been half-assing it for six months, which means my ass is actually still double the size I'd like it to be.  This time I'm going with a friend, so...added accountability.  And I'm going after work, so no excuses about getting up early, and no whining about missing an hour of wasted time playing WoW.

(That's a whole nother story, a person my age sucked in to the vortex that is WoW, and how filled with stupid teeny boppers it is...)

Anyhow, wish me luck!

Holy crap.

This shit is HARD.  It has been a long time since I felt like I didn't know what I was doing at work, and I. Don't. Like it.  Not at all.  I need to remember that today was Day 5, and cut myself some slack, but still.........

I made some good headway with the natives, however, so that helps.  

I had  caramel-filled chocolate cupcake with salted dark chocolate frosting for dinner.  That helps too, at least until I get on the scale tomorrow morning.

Fuck tomorrow.  I neeeeeded that cupcake tonight!!

Day 2

Day Two, and I still really, really like my new job.  I feel the teensiest bit out of my depth now and then, but it generally happens when people are talking about projects they have been working on for months and know inside and out, so that's perfectly normal.

It is very odd,  how comfortable I feel -- not like it's a new job, more like an old job in a new place with new people.  I feel like I belong, in a way I never did with the previous folks.   (Not the Original Folks, the Merger V. 1.0 Folks.  The Original Folks were supremely awesome. [I never got to know any Merger V. 2.0 Folks, so can't comment about them.])

Things are much better on the commute front, too, although there was a heinous backup this morning, it was in an unusual place.  On the drive home I looked down and noticed I was going 83 MPH.  Oops....

All in all, best decision I've made in  a long, long time!

Yes, I'm a 13-year old boy in disguise.

My last day off before the new job, and World of Warcraft is down all day!!

How am I ever expected to get to Level 20 at this rate???

Drunken Post No. 1

Hopefully there will never be a Drunken Post No. 2.

I watched the season finale of Saving Grace, with two glasses of wine to keep me company.  I wept.  Nearly at the end, the most wrenching part, my son came home, and I tried to keep my shit together because he does not need to know his mom falls apart watching t.v. 4 days a month.  But Saving Grace...who didn't cry, who also watched both seasons???

Now I'm drinking a White Russian, made with good ingrediants in questionable proportions.  My teeth are numb, a sign that my brain is also numb.  As is also the number of typos I"m making (and hopefully mostly correcting) in here.

Is it ironic that I'm drunk and my husband and our houseguest are at an AA meeting?  I think it is.........

Someday there will be content here.  Just not today.  Tonight.  Maybe tomorrow.

Don't count on it...
