Monday, I got yet another call from the Car Warranty idiots. I know it was them because they’d been leaving messages on my voicemail, so I know the number. Monday I was in a mood, so I answered the call. First, I was treated to the menu of options. (I…
I recently made a trip to Omaha. It was a good trip. Not as relaxing as I wanted it to be, but a good trip. During the trip I went over to my Aunt Dee’s place and sat with Dee and Jerry, having a very nice talk. Then, Dee brought…
I’m a leader. I am. But I’m not your standard leader. I don’t go after authoritative power anymore. I have found that I’m not consistent and stable enough to be a manager. I tend to scare people if I have authoritative power. So, I lead from below. If I see…

It’s been over 6 months since I walked out of my office and went home to stay. It seems like it’s been years. At first, I was posting blog posts by the week talking about what was going on with me during this time. That, of course, dropped off as…
I had a bit of a scare on Tuesday. I’d already been really stressed out, thinking about the election and the vandals/rioters and being generally in a state of panic, when my work decided we needed to fill out an online questionnaire about our medical history. The Medical History Questionnaire…
