Without going into too much detail, I’m on the radar for the next opportunity, also called a job, because I’ve been laid off. I never thought I would be looking for another job this year, but here I am doing just that. I know a part of me belongs to a handful of other people

It’s been half a month since I posted anything. It was freeing, beneficial, and helpful in many ways. Even though I had a yearning to get back to blogging, I had to step away for several reasons. One, I had family visiting for five days and spent time with my family versus burying my eyes

The start of 2023 didn’t happen the way I wanted it to because I went home unplanned to MN because my dad wasn’t doing so well. I’m glad I went home because the four days I was there, he passed away on my last day. It hasn’t even been a week since he has died,

I don’t know if anyone has noticed but when you start a blog entry, it asks you a random question. I ignore and delete them. This one asked the equivalent of where you are today is what you envisioned last year. I would say a big no because I thought I’d be in management somewhere

I’ve been reading a handful of books including a bunch of graduation speeches by Kurt Vonnegut. I need to read more of his work such as his novels. What I’m reading, while I don’t agree with everything he says, I do get where he is coming from (yes, I know you shouldn’t end a sentence

We’re inching closer to December. One month at a time. I have so much to say but not much because it’s similar to past blogs. Unless you’ve won the lottery or discovered a new element, your life is going to be pretty much a bunch of mundane days piled into a week piled into a

I really didn’t know what to name my JET so I chose something that happens to people, regardless of their age, sex, nationality, and more. People don’t get everything they want even if they say they have in life. This never happens all the time. We don’t get what we want all the time. Some

I’m beginning to fall in a pattern of only blogging once a week which happens to be on my days off of work. I suppose this is what happens when I’m the only one contributing to this blog and no longer working from home. I’ve been mentally in this state of wishing the dam would

I have mixed emotions, feelings, and whatever else you describe as thoughts. It’s weird how the things you imagined you wanted 20 years ago are not the things that are actually important to you now. Well, some of them are although I would sure like more of a certain thing and less of another thing.
