A travel itch I can’t quite scratch
I have been staring at my lime green carpet all day. Well, not all day as I have had many an errand to run. But as I have been going up and down the stairs, sweating up a storm, I would give a quick glance to […]
I am irritatingly amused by individuals who confidently state nonsense
One of the things that amuses me in the workplace, and many things do, is when someone inevitably invokes some nebulous regulation to support whatever wacky thing they want to implement. Sure. Why not? It seems like everyone is now playing a lawyer. Although, more often […]
She followed them out to the car and never looked back
She was slumped onto her desk looking out the window. The sky always fascinated her but yet she had never done anything about it. She was always just so tired. Her body felt like she had been beaten, day in and day out. There was no reprieve […]
Whatever froots your loops: You be you
Often, by the end of the week, I am exhausted and a bit over it all. Whatever “it all” is. Thus, I will at times talk about my pet peeves as the end of the week just amplifies the really annoying things in our lives. And, I have […]

To say I hate garbanzo beans is an understatement. What’s stronger than hate? I detest garbanzo beans. Although, that sounds weird to state outloud. Detest should be reserved for abominable humans. Although, I really do try to not hate humans. And not detest. Takes up too much energy […]
Thank goodness that puppy didn’t die: The Meg
It was just the last weekend of the summer. Ostensibly. sure we have a few more weeks until Autumn. But we all know that once labor day is here, it is all over. Sigh. I feel a bit depressed now. I hate when I do that to […]
My back hurts from 7,777 words
This has been a particularly brutal week. I mean intense and long and tiring. I was in a building lockdown due to a code blue. Or was it code red. I can’t even remember. I had to handle last minute meetings for which I was not originally invited […]
The final stop after losing her empathy
All that she could see in the mirror was the place where she lost it all. Not just a show, a belt, a dresser. But everything, including her soul, mind and empathy. She could look in that mirror and see the past but not feel it. It was […]
