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…
No matter how careful I am at breakfast, if I am eating pancakes or French toast or anything that I put syrup on, I can count on having a drip or two down my front. Like anybody, I sometimes have drips on my shirt front, but I always get syrup drips. I like syrup, but…
Seriously. It’s been a quiet rainy day. Went to a nice party. Tried to blog about farts, and just couldn’t. If you’re not inspired by farts, it’s time to go to bed. See you tomorrow.

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…
I am considering buying a “smart” phone. I am not sure I am qualified, because this is really making me feel stupid. On the other hand, maybe I need a smart phone to look after my fat old ass. My current phone is a flip Kyocera. Sad, I know. You don’t know how long it…
It is my personal belief that every now and then, someone goes to all the local nursing homes and assisted living centers and hands out car keys. Today was one of those now and thens. Holy crap. I had to drive over to the (huge) HMO to see a physical therapist about my knee. I’m…
