Describe your year to date. I’ve been thinking about the best way to approach this one. I also realize that I screwed up the first writing prompts entry. I’ll have to juggle things a bit. My HTML skills are rather rusty, and copypasta from wherever I wrote those originally didn’t quiet work as intended. Probably … Continue reading “NoJoMo 2”
List your schools, through high school. Describe a memory from each. As an Army brat, I attended a bunch of schools growing up. I thought maybe I should try to write something down about each of them before the memories are gone. I spent most of my early childhood living in Newport News, Virginia, having … Continue reading “NoJoMo 1”

I’d say this would pair nicely with Matt Sharp’s Thoughts From A Slow Train, but that’s not available on YouTube….. Sunday afternoon, we were watching some of Bourdain’s Parts Unknown best-of episode. He had some interesting things from Detroit last season. Much has been made of the deterioration of Detroit, but little seems focused on … Continue reading “Reflective”
Burning sick leave this afternoon to go see the doc. Why? Um, because better safe than sorry. “Are you having problems with xxxx, and yyyy?” “Yes.” “Well, which one?” “Both. Depends on the hour, really.” *quizzical look* “I have MS.” “Oh.” For the other things, can I do a LeBron James-style decision presser soon? Maybe. … Continue reading “Day 12”
**Emphatic yawn** Still suspicious on how much electricity this whole Daylight Savings Time saves. I’m sure people have quantified it, but I’m still skeptical. Maybe that has a lot to do with my homebody lifestyle, work in an energy-hog office building (this is despite the green placards covering the stone pillar at the external doors…). … Continue reading “NoJoMo Day 3”
No, Sarah didn’t leave me here on my own. But I am incredibly frustrated with many things right now. Health. I’ve been going at Mach five since is started this new job, and the wear is starting to show. How do you quantify the value of compensation that involves merely getting to a computer in … Continue reading “Cruel Summer”
Because 110% is lame, cliche, insufficient. (And 340 is what I came up with for my current work “utilization.” In quotes, because I’ve still yet to hear a compelling argument for use of the word, “utilize.”) I haven’t worked today. I’ve barely glanced at E-Mail. This will be the case next weekend, too, when I … Continue reading “Giving 340%”
I’ve been absolutely horrible about straying from the prompts. But anything I might have to say lately comes off as bitchy. Do I have a lot to bitch about? Certainly. Do I need to share it? No. 1. What can make you laugh, even when you are having a frustrating day? And the TSG Mugshot … Continue reading “Day 12”
