I think I've "lost" my "mojo"!

I REALLY wish I had the balls to be more direct with people, goddammit!

I'm not as bad as I once was, mind you, but I especially struggle with it in my professional life. After all, does my success not depend on being all nicey-nice, and polite, and pleasing people?!

For example, today one of our regional service managers was kind of a dick to...

A couple of months back, a friend of mine sold me his iPod mini for $100. In hindsight, I really should have waited until I had $200 to spend on a brand new one. Why? Well, my friend sold it to me with the battery nearly shot. He also mentioned that he knew where to get one for $25-30, so I thought, "OK, no big...

Time for an update, ego-trip though it was to have 3 pages of comments.


This is going to be one of those weekends where I go back to work on Monday to relax! And the way things have been going at my job lately, that's pretty fucking sad.

Firstly, my German friend Katharina is in town, on a weekend off from the camp where she...

OK, I could really use a good laugh, folks. Anyone got any REALLY BAD pornos?

Last night, Trees2112 and I hung out with our friends Marion & Lindsey, and the parents of our next baby...

...that'll be 2 of their 6 cats. Marion & Lindsey are starting a Sphynx cattery. Yes, those would be the hairless ones. They might look a bit strange, but if you can get past that - they have the best personalities you could hope for...

There were several picnic tables set up, and a square table with 4 chairs. As we took our places at the square table, Traci said, "just...

Ya know something? The more I think about it, school prepared me for the real world much better than I'd imagined. Why's this, you ask? Well, all the cliquey-cliques and "stock characters" you knew and loved (or not!) in high school, are still going to figure prominently in your workplace! Am I right, or am I right? And is it really worthwhile for me to...

14 DAYS 'TIL HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE!!!!

Just got the brake light switch fixed on my car. (It was causing the car to not shift out of park when I step on the brake.) I ogled some other VW's while I waited. The new Jetta is TOTAL sweetness! So posh, I couldn't believe it was a Jetta! The Passat, which is what...

This weekend was a blast, even though it was about 20 degrees hotter this year than last! We survived the entire Pride march AND our volunteer shift in Bicentennial Park in the 95 Fahrenheit heat! I wisely used SPF 30 and didn't bother with makeup, because it would sweat all over me and look like shit. (Well, that and I'm not hip and sophisticated enough...
