So yesterday, out of the blue I got called into the district manager's office to discuss my happiness with the company (of which at this point has been very minimal for the past few months.) Of course I voiced this to her and she asked what it was that would make my job easier - new software, faster computer, vacation, etc. I fumbled through what...

Pushing over the humpday and toward the weekend...

Today is my little sis' birthday. Sent her a text wishing her well before I started the workday. Another humdrum workday. One of those where you're already watching the clock when you sit down at the desk.

Not too many days go off without a hitch and though the start of the day seemed to go well,...

+1

I can suddenly relate to the comment of a friend from a few weeks ago who claimed that he wouldn't show up to functions without a "+1"... and now I understand.

This whole weekend has been about doing things together and not just about the numerology. From cleaning a sofa on patio to give to a friend who was in need of one to...

I can barely breathe... and I can attribute that to the gift my girlfriend gave me.

It feels like a head cold, but I don't know for sure. Can't really think straight as it's half past midnight right now.

More to say soon. Just not now.

This must be that time of the month, and no... I don't mean that.

It's the magic ratio based on the time we've been together...

Too much flat bottom going on and not enough of anything else aside from the standard domestic duties.

And so with evening settling in, I sit on the cusp of another droll week on the job as I...

It's only been December since moving to the big city and I can certainly appreciate the access to culture, food, music, etc. It's only when you see simple, lovely neighborhoods getting corrupted by these disgusting monstrosities that are being constructed (not that I would expect any less), but such is life here.

I can honestly say that I'm thoroughly appreciative of being able to spend...

Finishing up a day at work, my co-worker asks me if I'll be attending "La Palabra Movil," an event promoting reading and writing projects in the projects. Bilingual poetry would be part of the event's festivities and it struck my curiosity enough to want to attend (aside from the fact that I wanted to support my friend's interest and passion.) Of course, the girlfriend and...
