Ground to cover Yesterday blurs over in my mind already; so much ground was covered. From one part of the city to another, like a yo-yo, to and from the house. Eventually, to the airport at some distance away. The hours marched along as they had to, simultaneously swift and sluggish: laundry, errands, packing, more […]
Would you dare to quit your job?
A particular news item caught my eye early today: As the job market begins to loosen up, human resource managers might increasingly be surprised by an announcement from employees they haven’t heard in a while: “I quit.” Catchy quote, isn’t it? And hopeful. It appeared in The Wall Street Journal, as reported on Yahoo Finance. […]
French Open 2010 Wardrobe Mishaps – Already?
The net was abuzz yesterday with Venus Williams’ wardrobe mishaps during French Open early round play. Tennis views or tennis news? Now come on. It’s hard not to notice a great player, an unusual outfit, and a little slip here or there. But the fact is, Venus Williams and the women at the French Open […]
Monday Morning Moaning. Complaint Department is Open.
Monday, Monday The staff of the Complaint Department has been on sabbatical for a few weeks. But – it is Monday. And who likes Monday morning? Who doesn’t have a complaint or two or three? Who doesn’t want – or need – a place to bitch? What better time than when we’re all dragging – […]
Post Post it Post-its Post
Hey. That Momalom thing. You know. Two babes. Writers. Sisters. A little… um… wacky. Because who reads and comments on more than 100 blogs over the course of 10 days, each day? Who is so inspiring (or nuts) they entice 100 others to do the same? And I don’t mean Blah-g Blah-g Blah-g, either. I […]
This and that (merrily, verily)
Changes When enough is enough, you make changes, right? I hit a wall of “enough is enough” about 18 hours ago, and there’s shimmying, scurrying, scuttling, shuffling, and all manner of movement afoot (behind the scenes). And I hope (soon) cause for a little celebration. Everyone needs a party now and then, right? And as […]
Can you be bought?
Everything has its price I’ve spent days, weeks really, maneuvering through objects and obstacles. In my little den. The jammed office. My bedroom, the living room, a wretched corner in the kitchen. I am looking. Taking silent inventory. Running numbers in my head. I toss aside the memories as best I can. Memories of marriage […]
The point of “I don’t care”
Apathy Have you ever experienced periods of time when you’re so tired you can’t string together a cohesive thought? When even sleep is elusive? Have you ever felt so emotionally drained that your goals fade, your efforts feel increasingly irrelevant, and an insidious voice in your head tells you not to care? I came out […]
WooHoo!! (Sky rockets in flight!)
Sky rockets in flight! (No nasty bugs in sight… ) Let’s raise a toast (regardless of the hour) to fab friends and their good graces. No more bad clothing (or lack of cherries) around these here parts. A HUGE merci to a lovely woman with magic in her fingers, patience in her persona, determination in […]
The one-two punch. She’s down! She’s up! She’s down! Do we call the bout?
Rough week. Of course, you know that, and I managed to get by with a little help from my friends. But it’s enough already! Okay. Apparently not. I was down. I was up! And then I was down again. Sucker punch. Yesterday, not even 24 hours after the last technology disaster, some nasty Trojan decimated […]
