  • Workin’ NINE to FIVE. What A Way To Make A Livin’!

    Red Hat was everything I’d ever wanted and I didn’t care about the money – I was doing what I loved. Also my partner and I didn’t have any children and our student loans were reasonable.

  • That’s My Secret, Cap. I’m Always Angry.

    After that last post, going through security and passport control, and walking ten forevers to get to the gate, I’ve had a low grade fever without the exhaustion. Which tells me I’m having a hot flash. One of the longer lasting ones, sure, but still a hot flash.

  • Guess Who’s Back! Back AGAIN!

    Someone wise once said there’s a difference between transparent and naked – aim for open, but avoid complete exposure.

  • Psst… You Wanna Hear A Secret?

  • And Then I Got Sick

    In my very last post, A Vacation From My Vacation, I was going to do All The Things ™ and whatnot, but then I got #ForRealsies Really Real Sick. Sometimes “tomorrow” unexpectedly punches you in the throat meat. Here’s what I did instead of all the things. Called the therapist. Talked to the therapist. Worked…

  • A Vacation From My Vacation

    Yesterday I flew back from the States, jokingly to escape the Area 51 raid, but seriously cause it was the end of vacation and since said vacation was two weeks taking care of Boy Twin and visiting family, I am taking the next four work days off.

    I suppose that I should make an introduction of you before simply sending you a blog post, but THAT’S HOW I ROLL. To cut through introductions, I’ll just link to your personal trainer website. And can I also totally recommend a makeover on that thing?
