Do you ever get a date stuck in your head; and you know it’s the wrong date, but your brain just won’t let go of that wrong date, and it keeps sneaking back unless you are constantly vigilant. Let’s just say, I’m not so vigilant. I called my sister Linda today. I called…
You know how every time you go for a long drive, you start seeing signs for “Mystery Spot” (or some variation on that theme)? You know, the place where water runs uphill, and the laws of gravity seem to have taken a hiatus? Well, San Jose’s mystery spot doesn’t come with the usual signs, and…
After a month in the office, I am back to my own little workspace at home, getting my leg snotted by an old blind cat that wants me to pick him up, supper in the crock pot, and a cup of my husband’s delicious coffee at hand. Life is good. My biggest problem with being…
Just found out today that as of the first of the year (as in 2014) the firm I work for changed its policy regarding the accumulation of sick time. It used to be you could accumulate up to 20 days of sick time, and I had long ago accumulated that amount. Then they cut it…

Today, I decided to do the grocery shopping on my way home from work. After being stuck in rotten traffic and witnessing all kinds of ass-holery on the roads, I was face-to-face with the realization that the same people I was just swearing at (loudly) in my car, are the same people I am now…
Today was the kind of day that reminds me why I stopped being a legal secretary / paralegal and opted for the less stressful (and not as well compensated) job of word processor (working from home, part time). As you may remember, I am currently covering a desk in the office for a secretary who…
I’m driving to work this morning (along with just about everyone else in the greater San Jose area from the looks of traffic). By the way, not a great day for driving because it is cold, rainy and windy. Californians tend to get behind the wheel on anything other than a perfect day and lose…
