Quote of the day
Problems are the price of progress. Don't bring me anything but trouble. Good news weakens me.

On Hiatus
The new job has me swamped. No time to play right now. Love and kisses to all. Back as soon as I can manage it.
Thought du Jour

What does a conscientious employee do when she becomes a short-timer at her old job? Play around with her blog, of course! :-)

You just never know, when you get up in the morning...
So last Wednesday, after 5:00, I got a call for a job interview. They wanted to see me the next day. Interview Thursday. Job offer Friday. Accepted. Gave two-weeks' notice at present job same day.
So that is what is going on.
You just never know....you get up in the morning thinking it's all going to be the same old same old, and 99.6% of the time it is...and then it's not. Sometimes the "then it's not" is bad. Sometimes good.
Did I make a hasty decision on this new job? Hell yes. Maybe a bad one? I doubt it. It feels right...and it can't be any worse than what I have been doing. Which was better than what I was doing before that (right, Mo?). So step by step, I am improving my situation.
But here's the thing....I don't know what firewall constraints I will have after the new job starts...and I KNOW I won't be having any time....so I may be a bit scarce after April 18. Will you still love me?

Dear Kat,
Yeah, I know. I'm sorry. It is, in fact, NOT Tuesday any more. Nor it is Thursday. I could tell you how buy I have been. I could tell you how little time I have for blogging. But you wouldn't care. Oh, sure. You would pretend to care....pucker your lips and "tsk tsk" and give me that puppy-dog-eyed sympathy. But all the time, you would be mentally composing your grocery list and trying to remember if you unplugged the iron and wondering why Jessica got voted off "Idol." So I won't even try. Just suffice to say...been DAMN busy.
Happy spring, everyone. That one will last me a bit longer than a "happy Friday" would.

"Being an adult just means you have more settings on your autopilot." - PU2
Do you feel like you are on autopilot? How often and how much? Do you ever move through your life and then realize you can't really remember the last two miles/two hours/two days? How much of our lives are spent as walking zombies?
And a very happy Tuesday to you all! :-)

I'm just sayin'.....
Fox Executive no. 1: Boy, have you seen what "American Idol" has done for "House"? The numbers are really up. Amazing.
Fox Executive no. 2: Yes, that lead in from "Idol" has been a big boost.
FE1: Wish we could get some sort of lead in like that for the new show, "Life on a Stick."
FE2: No kidding. We need people to see that show.
FE1: Too bad we don't have some sort of "Idol" lead in for it.
FE2: Yeah, that would be great, wouldn't it. If we had it following, say, an "Idol" results show.
FE1: Yeah.
FE2: But the results show will be Wednesday.
FE1: Yeah.
FE2: No way to hold the results show off until Thursday.
FE1: Yeah.
FE2: Unless.......

Driving
I am not sure what is so difficult about driving in California. I simply don't get it. I can solve all the traffic problems very easily. Everyone should just do as I do. I am the standard. Watch me.
If you are driving faster than I am, you are driving too fast. It's that simple. You should slow down to my speed. Anyone who drives faster than I do is a maniac.
If you are driving slower than I am, you are driving too slow. You must voluntarily get out of my way. I suggest that you assume the velocity and get about six car lengths ahead of me. Better yet, choose another lane.
In fact, everyone should choose another lane. It will be far easier for all of you to see the correct way to drive (by observing me, of course) if you leave me a nice open lane in which to demonstrate.
Now. Wasn't that easy? Have a nice day.

Thought du Jour
"From the backstabbing co-worker to the meddling sister-in-law, you are in charge of how you react to the people and events in your life. You can either give negativity power over your life or you can choose happiness instead. Take control and choose to focus on what is important in your life. Those who cannot live fully often become destroyers of life." - Anais Nin, American author (1903-1977)

In other news
I may have critical errors on my computer.
My computer clock may be wrong.
Do I want to contribute to tsunami aid?
Do I want to find an "adult friend" through adult friend finder?
Do I want to find a "senior friend" through senior friend finder?
Why has my popup blocker suddenly stopped working?
And that senior friend finder? That's just rude. Cut that shit out.
