Today the universe slung me a healthy dose of karma, as I felt firsthand the cruel sarcasm behind the phrase, "Almost as fun as a root canal!". For THREE AND A HALF HOURS a less than gentle dentist did unmentionable things to one sad & weathered little molar. Excuse me Mr. Dentist? What did that molar ever do to you? Now that all the yanking, pulling and merciless drilling is over, I sit here (Vicodin on tap) with a sore face & … [Read more...]
I demand a refund

That domestic butt-kicking I was talking about getting done this week? YEAH, not happening so much. I've barely been keeping up with the basics. Last week (which was week #2 of being unemployed) was like, "Not getting up at 5:30AM to drive 40 minutes to work? Woo yeah! I can live with this!". Uh, this week? More like, "What the heck is this? I did not sign up for this and I DEMAND A REFUND!". While I've been spendings my days doing all sort … [Read more...]

Happy Father's Day! Forgive me upfront as I've already consumed several beers with no stopping in sight. (But seriously, I do need to stop soon or a massive hangover is sure to ensue.)

I still get the scoop from work. Thanks to my BFF! She just forwarded me the announcement bosslady made about my backfill. Actually, it was for the backfill of the admin that replaced me. So everything's official. Who am I kidding? It was official the day I walked out through that turnstile, knowing there was no going back! *sigh* I have to admit, I feel a sense of sadness! And... loss. And... a feeling of being leftout. Like not being one of … [Read more...]
The day Kidzilla ate Cost Cutters

So today is my first official day of being unemployed. Technically it was yesterday, but since I used to have Mondays off - I'm calling it today. So how did it go you ask? [deep breath] ... It's fine now. Kids are napping. We took them for haircuts and to IKEA for lunch (and to buy a super cheap coffee table I saw when I was there last week with my friend Jan). Gavin did REALLY well with his haircut this time. It turns out the trick is to … [Read more...]
