SO ANNOYING!

My boss said to me this morning, “I heard something on my way to work and it reminded me of you.”
Me ["?"]
“Yes, I was behind a woman with a 5 or 6 year old child and the kid said, “I don’t want to go to school because people there are SO ANNOYING…”
Me: “That reminded you [...]

Trip

I am sitting here listening to a mix that Harriet gave me. I’m loving it; it’s perfect for work and will delay the moment when I stream my radio, thereby breaking the law of the office.
I had a weird evening yesterday evening.  I spoke to my step-father, who lives in Florida.  He and my mother [...]

Made for talking

After two nights of nightmares from the Wire, I watched The Hallmark Hell of Flame Movie that I had recorded on Sunday evening. I found it excruciating, but I subsequently slept very well.  Amber Tamblyn has cancer, but doesn’t want to tell anyone because she’s a bad person with a DEEP DARK SECRET.  It’s hard [...]

Funny, but it seems…

I watched six episodes of the Wire over the weekend. I enjoyed them, but they stay with me a little more than I would like.  Both Saturday and Sunday nights I had nightmares.  I haven’t seen the first 40-something episodes, but I could mostly follow the plot, though certain major points were lost on me.
The [...]

Not a sociopath

I understand that no one wants to read about how I’m in a crappy mood.  It’s January and if you live in a cold place, chances are that you’ve had better days/weeks/months than today/this week/this month.
I’m frustrated that my fuse is shorter than usual. That having to wait four hours to get pet food/litter delivered [...]

Communicating

It’s Friday. La la la la. 
I haven’t run since Sunday and I feel lumpy…lumpish.  Like a lump.  I am planning to run tomorrow and Sunday.  Perhaps I can work off the 10 mint cookies I ate over the past two days.  They were like the Thin Mint cookies except they were Fat. Fat Mints.  I [...]

Fun and not so fun

I ate a version of this lovely soup for lunch today.  A little Korean hole-in-the-wall has opened near work and I’ve been getting food there a couple of days a week. I saw someone get this soup last week and wanted to try it.  It was hot, and filling and pretty perfect for Winter.
One of the [...]

No E

It has been a long long long day.  Lunch was good. Other than that, I have been at varying stages of irritability.  Someone I work with (the pseudo-boss OFFENDER) wants my help, but on her terms.  Do the work your damn self.  Don’t try to micro-manage and organize my work process!  Do NOT!  I’m just annoyed annoyed [...]

Pray tell

I do love having Mondays off. I went for a run in the freezing cold and then came home to enjoy the heat of my apartment.  There were dishes to be done, a book to be finished, and tennis to be watched.  I love a cold Winter day because hiding in your apartment with a [...]

departures

Less than an hour ago, Harriet got into the car which is taking her to the airport–it was a great visit. We went to the top of the Empire State Building, walked around the East Village a little and ate vegan food at one of my favorite restaurants.  On our way to the restaurant we [...]
