While employment has its obvious advantages, most notably the regular paychecks, it also has some disadvantages. Those disadvantages mostly relate to having a limited amount of free time, which explains the lack of blogging. On the bright side, work is good. My coworkers are pretty fabulous, and even though we’ve been busy, busy, busy, everything [...]

Love This.
I recently reread Michael J. Fox’s Lucky Man, which reminded me of my love for ol’ Michael J. and helped me rediscover my love for this quote. I thought it was appropriate in light of the new chapter in my life:

Nine to Five, Part II
Well, hello again. I would have written this sooner, but work consumed my life big time this week. That’s kind of a fun sentence to say after so much unemployment. It’s not necessarily the most fun sentence to live, though.
Basically, after three (give or take a week or two) months of unemployment, I am back [...]

Nine to Five
Big Girl World is here.
Ask me about it later. Having an adult sleep schedule is exhausting ;).

In Case You Were Wondering
The majority of my visitors come here in search of the meaning of “Jordans on Saturday,” which is a part of a line from Chris Brown’s “With You.” To make things a little easier for y’all — because I am considerate and weirdly proud of being the first site you are offered when [...]

Grr.
I wasn’t the girl who waited by the phone for boys to call, not even when I was dating someone.
I’m not going to be the girl who waits by the phone for you to do your job.
Please be responsible and professional and do what you’re supposed to do.

Things I Love That Cause Me Pain: A List
1. Coffee: Unless I buy the Simply Smooth, I get terrible stomach cramps. It never fails. I went to Target the other morning, and I stopped at the Starbucks inside and ordered some coffee, only to be met with a case of stomach cramps that made me want to assume the fetal position on the [...]

Hello, August
I can’t believe it’s August already, but I’m glad it is. This summer has been exceptionally uninteresting (with the exception of two too-brief visits to Jackson and the Louisville incident), and I am ready for everything to end. I need a new beginning. Fortunately, I’m getting one … and soon.
In other news, can someone explain [...]
