Dream Vacation (& Job)

A couple months ago I wrote my first ever album review for Shadow Gallery’s “Digital Ghosts”.  It is an album I truly enjoy listening to & it seems I discover something new every time I listen.  Going to see SG in concert would be a great thing…too bad they don’t perform live.  Well that is [...]

Familiarity Breeds….Fear of the Unknown

I don’t know what I’m doing…which for me is a huge problem.  I always want to know where I’m headed.  I like to have a plan of action, a course to follow, a map to read.  I don’t mind taking detours if I’m not just wandering aimlessly.  It’s the perfectionist (no that doesn’t [...]

Where Do I Go From Here?

It’s no surprise to my readers (I think I have readers…hard to tell these days since my best ones have gone MIA & I’m not sure if I’ll get them back….) that my job is not my favorite place to spend time.  Besides tumult in working with the office personnel, I am at the point [...]

Holding Me

My desire to travel, move around & explore this country is growing.  I can feel the wanderlust taking over a little more every day.  This of course makes it harder to get up & go about my daily routine of work & home.  I feel this hunger for adventure: new sights, sounds, tastes & smells. [...]

A Quick News Bulletin

The big news this week is that after months of waiting to hear about the numerous job applications Hubby finally has an interview.  Next week he’s got his second job interview (first one went really well….they never called back) in over a year.  We are hopeful that this is the start of something good on [...]

Soft Spring Days

At last I can see the end of winter on the horizon.  After last week’s freak blizzard (it’s always a freak blizzard in MN unless it happens between Nov 1 & March 31…we don’t want to admit that snow at any time of year is perfectly reasonable) I was starting to think maybe it would [...]

I Want This Notarized

I was in the middle of helping a customer with a payment when my nose twitched.  It wasn’t the cute Bewitched twitch, nor was it a sneeze sort of twitch.  This twitch is the one I dread more than any other–the “there is a very smelly person in the office & [...]

All These Things That I’ve Done

The last couple days while sitting at my desk I started thinking about all the jobs I’ve had.  There have been many across a wide range of fields.  From the time I was a teenager I’ve had a job in some way.  My first jobs were babysitting jobs naturally.  I was good at it (still [...]

Nothing Challenging, Nothing Creative

I don’t like my job.  Wait I think that’s an understatement…right now I hate my job.  It’s sucking my will to live.  Getting up on days where I know I need to go to the office is depressing.  One reason is that it’s not even close to a challenge for me.  Sometimes I honestly think [...]

February Rewind

Since February is nearly gone a review post seems apropos.  The month started with a trip to southern MN to see my family.  Our specific reason for going was to celebrate Grandma J’s 92nd birthday.  She had been in the hospital with pneumonia but recovered nicely & was at home to see us.  We bought [...]
