Searching for Direction & Purpose in Life's Sea of Opportunities
In my collection of blog ideas, I have an article titled, "Why Your 20 Year Old Self says to STFU." Hindsight let's us be so critical of ourselves in our young and stupid phase. I still have traces of how scared and mixed up I was then. That version of me does deserve a break.… Continue reading Me: Now and Then
Somehow at work the other day we were discussing a household where three unrelated adults were living in a two-bedroom house. One of my coworkers asked if the two women were sharing a room and the guy was pretending to be gay. We were off to the races after that. Suzanne Somers was our overwhelming favorite… Continue reading Common Culture
Lately I have been longingly looking forward to April. I don't have anything planned for that month, but it is right after I've spent the month of March writing a blog post a day. What choices I will have then as to what to publish next! Unfortunately my cache of pre-written posts from last year are… Continue reading Break on Through to the Other Side
As I've alluded to on a few occasions, my previous job was a lot of work with virtually no down time. This has made me quite aware of the hours being worked by those around me, particularly in a service capacity. It all started with a McDonald's ad (Aren't you amazed I remembered who the… Continue reading Day of Rest
I had the best time a work last week! We had a fire drill, and I am the fire warden for my office suite. To put this in context, this was not my first time at the rodeo with these responsibilities. I was the floor warden when I was at the same job for seven… Continue reading Lady in a Vest
It's been a long time since I've entered the confessional to spill my potentially embarrassing and highly inconsequential secrets. I love stating the obvious as if it is a revelation to the world. Shortly before leaving my last job (which happened to be in the automotive industry), I asked one of my coworkers if he… Continue reading Another Confessional
The other day I caught myself doing my most old lady act to date: I put a partially used Kleenex in my sweater sleeve. I couldn't believe it! Instead of turning 43, did I actually turn 93?!?! As I've mentioned before, I suffer from allergies. With our weather so much warmer so much later into… Continue reading Old Lady
For years and years - nearly a decade - I brought my lunch to work every day. It was a frugal decision, in part. Also for the majority of that time I was following most of the Kosher dietary laws, which make eating out of the home a challenge. I have recently started giving myself a once a… Continue reading Food Truck
Because of my new job, I've been updating my wardrobe lately. For the last year my work uniform was jeans and a company polo. Even before that, since my position wasn't in-person customer facing, jeans and a collared shirt was what I wore each day. Now I am in a professional environment. Although I'm in… Continue reading Hope on a Hanger
In the past, I've mentioned how I've been so busy I can barely breathe, much less plan. My life recently changed. I'm now in a new job with traditional hours. The effect on me was immediate. Now every week I have two days off in a row - Saturday AND Sunday. It feels like a vacation every… Continue reading Life Changing
Grown Up, Now What?
