Office Breaks and Gold Ping Pong Paddles
Ramblings Post #67 The office is a strange place. You go early in the day, sometimes before the sun comes up, met and hang out with mostly like minded folks doing pretty much what you're doing for 8 or 10 hours a day and then....go home to real life?...
Bar chatter
Bar Chatter #7When it's not enough to make a post, but deserves to go out to the world... it's just Bar Chatter.Boston Market must be better than I think. I ran out at lunchtime to knock off a few errands, and on the way back in I decided to forgo th...
A Quack who's gone to the Dogs!
Ramblings Post #54 There are a number of things that make me wonder if the grand creator really knows what he's doing or maybe, just maybe, he's just occasionally rolling the dice and seeing what happens just to spice things up. A few weeks ago, Chat...
Geek Moments
Ramblings Post #50 Every now and then, I geek out. I get into a Star Wars argument about story elements or rebel strategy, want to talk about holes in Star Trek story lines or go off on X-men, Spiderman or Batman tangents. If you have never caught yo...
The Office Moguls Change their plans
Ramblings Post #43For those that work, and everyday there seem to be less and less of those, there is usually that person in the office that you can't really figure out why they are still...or ever got to be...employed there. They don't seem to do a ...
Alright, Enough Already...can we let this go?
Internet Fodder Post #4This will actually cover more than just the internet, because this time more than just the internet is responsible for this lunacy. I wish we were better than this, that in some way we as the citizens of the world could recogni...
Thinking about odd things...
Ramblings Post #38I started realizing I was old when home renovation magazines became as interesting as photos that formerly had held my attention since hormones hit when I was thirteen. Um, wait check that...since I was four or five. I suddenly reme...
A Week Without Food
Ramblings Post #35Change is constant. And that's all I have to say about that. I find myself not a crossroads, but rather at one of those little benches at the side of the path I've chosen, where a weary traveler can sit for a minute and contemplate ...
Is Nothing Sacred?
Ramblings Post #20There are days when I'm certain I'm dreaming, that what is occurring around me has to be some sort of insanity my mind has cooked up. The things I'm seeing and hearing almost certainly can't be actually happening. But as in this cas...
Cowboys Give Me Strength
This is a Sports PostAnd if you ain't figured that out by now, I'm gonna pray for you. I am, and have been since I was 5 years old (or maybe even earlier), a huge fan of the Dallas Cowboys. Seriously, my family will call and check on me when the Cowb...
Our own little Banana Republic (ans)
This is a political postThis week a coup happened in of all places: our own backyard. It was no banana republic rich with natural resources, or some African quagmire with a intertribal argument going back to before we walked upright. No, this time it...
The Office Moguls - Part 2
Mental Rehab Post #48Before the madness of school kicks back in, and this becomes a virtual montage of griping about having no free time and I can't believe they want us to do all that, I gonna halfway empty my mind (partially to make space) and beca...
The Truth shall set you free
Mental Rehab Post #47There things you don't realize you can't do until you try to do them. I know I'm not a great dancer because well, I've tried. I can move to the beat, in a crowd, and once took ballroom dancing lessons. But I'm not a middle of the...
New Year - Same Stuff
Mental Rehab Post #46At this time of year we tend to look forward to better tomorrows, usually to find that by mid-February that the days look just like the ones from last year, and that health club membership doesn't work because they don't have the...
Courting in the time of Instant Communication
Mental Rehab Post #45Odd conversations. We're not even going to discuss the opera singing at work or the idea that my Caucasian coworkers found the white racial slur that blacks can't use comfortably as topics here, although they may find their way h...
Errant thoughts
Relapse Post #4You have to be honest with yourself if nobody else. If you're gonna eat that last piece of pie, say I'm gonna eat it, it's wrong cause I'm a diet, I'm the one messing up here, and eat it anyway. So later when you look in the mirror, yo...
Office Moguls
Mental Rehab Post #37More of the detritus of the many days I've spent. Suddenly things are in flux, and I haven't had the time to stick more than a minute into anything. And I'm suddenly concerned about things I should have taken care of weeks if not...
The First of the Slow Weekends
Mental Rehab Post #36There are days I think maybe God really likes me. There are other days I'm almost certain that God has a wicked sense of humor. And then there are days I think God went to the bathroom during the commercial break that was sometim...
Night and Day
Relapse Post #3Sometimes, 24 hours makes all the difference. What was an issue, now has an answer. What was unbelievable, is now within your grasp. What you didn't know yesterday is now a concept in full as you watch today's sunrise. Those are the 24...
Listening to Jazz
Personal Rehab Post #6Next in a continuing series of posts designed to let out the demons that lurk in the dark recesses of my memory. Okay, more aptly, to the kill the roaches of impluse that are skittering about as pack and fold away hopes and drea...
Though I stumble...
What had shoulda happened this weekend, but I ain't been nowhere and ain't seent nobody. I swear I'm putting on the makeup as fast as I can.Friday I should have gone to Sporty's long delayed Going Away/En.....well, Going Away party but she got upset ...
Someplace I haven't been in a while
I'm on the edge of real depression here. Once in college after a parting of company, I holed up in my apartment for two weeks and didn't go to class for a month. I spent most of the time sleeping and wondering why fate had done me so wrong. I can saf...
The End of the World as We Know it
It only took six months for my hopes and dreams to unravel. From November 2007 to May 2008 I've been waiting for the other shoe to drop, for the words that mean the end has come from Sporty. It's been a wonderful ride. I had hoped it would last forev...
My Problem
I have trouble communicating.This seems odd, since I feel I'm a fairly good writer, listener, talker, debater and have been called one of the better speakers at the firm which employs me, but my inability to adequately communicate still a reality. An...
