    Today's agenda: clean apartment, unpack office, find the public library, get a library card, pick up husband, cook dinner.

    This housewifery stuff is not for the weak.

    It's nice to know that I can still get buried in work on a national holiday.

    Yay!

    I just can't wait until I return to my regularly scheduled weekends....

    (Fuck, I thought the first one was going to be June 7/8, but I have a conference all goddamn weekend. My first weekend off, in theory, since the end of March, will be June 14/15. Wish me luck!)

    Despite it being May, I decided to paint my nails with this polish.

    I'm taking notes on a pencil I have had in my possession since at least middle school, if not earlier.

    I always wanted a pencil this big.

    Sadly, all I ever got was skinny pencils.

    Drove hubs to work in my pajamas. I'm happy that despite an increase in distance of .8 miles, it takes about the same amount of time due to higher speeds and less traffic.

    Ha! With, of course. Oops...

    Not surprisingly, I've always been partial to tiny pencils myself.

    I generally retire them once they no longer fit in my pencil sharpener without getting stuck. There's an even tinier one inside my violin case.

  14. I would lose a pencil before it got that short.

    When speaking in front of groups...especially those in authority,
    I am getting braver...just because I don't give a shit
    and
    I just want to get my damn point across
    despite upsetting their warm & fuzzies in their skewed worldview.

    I have gotten to the point of Jerry McGuire.
    Saying, "Help Me, Help You"

    You don't want my help...then I'll go help someone else.
    You don't like my method, then I'll go use it elsewhere.
    The market is on my side...I can get paid many ways.

    The people at the top aren't any different than those lower than them.
    They all have their limits.
    You pay someone to give you advice...to get something done.

    Then you shout...from over in the grandstands...that you don't like my swing.
    You want home-runs and triple-plays always.
    Screw it...I'm making runs & plays consistently.
    Oh yeah, I got a bit of dirt on my pants too. Deal with it.

    Man, people are petty...and inattentive until they are prodded.

    Some figure it out in time.
    Some don't
    But EVERY place does the same friggin' thing.
    It's the same damn story.
    Not just mine...others experience it too...but why do we have to deal with it in the first place?? (rhetorical question)

    Anyways...I'm not complaining or bitchin'...it's a reality.
    Just stating...
    I'm more confident because I'm ignoring your silliness.

    Tell you this, makes it easier to speak.
    Doncha know?

    @rogue49, that's pretty much my way of life, man.

    1) Be positive.
    2) Don't give a shit as to what others think of you.

    Apparently, this mindset made me into the "cool teacher" despite the fact that I'm pretty demanding.

    Glad I have this 20something inch CRT and VCR, VHS films look better on that compared to the 40" LCD.

    **finally finished editing**

    VHS tapes are missing the "next chapter" button to skip through the trailers. I would walk over and push the fast forward button but that is soooo far away at a good 6 feet. Oh well, guess I will walk even further and work on something resembling breakfast.

    Wow, I can clean the whole apartment, top to bottom, in half an hour. I like that.
