I'm in an airport lounge at LAX, waiting to fly home. Been in Atlanta for almost a week. It's Monday night here and by the time I get home it'll be Wednesday morning. Combination of trans-Pacific flying time and international date line.
I've been wondering what to update with to try to make my life seem otherwise interesting. It hasn't been.... Read More
TheFuckOffGirl and I went to the US (specifically San Francisco and New York City) in November, and had a wonderful time and I managed to meet some very cool SG members, including people I've talked with and admired for several years. I also made new friends. Longer expanded version of trip-story next time.
So, my monthly updates seem to have degenerated to annual. This is not good. Well, it is what it is. Last update was this time last year, when TheFuckOffGirl and I were about to head out on a week's holiday on isolated Kangaroo Island, off the coast of South Australia. It was warm but wind-blown and we walked on beaches and cooked each other food... Read More
Nice list. I was going to make a crack about the Magna Carta but I couldn't find a way to say it without being snide, which apparently is a cause for restraint now. Who knew?
That's an interesting slogan to be hearing now, for anyone familiar with modern Australian political history.
I might talke about that some more when I get back. (I've been pretty sucky at the updating thing lately, eh?) Meanwhile, I'm out for a week. Kangaroo Island, here we come!
Dallas Dancers. Apparently its a really good place to learn because its small and non-competitive. And they hire girls with tattoos, which I've heard can be a bit hard here (or anywhere for all I know? I've never done this before!)
From what I've read, it doesn't pull in as much money as some other clubs, but its a really good place to learn
Have you ever been there?
Well, shit continues to happen. Pressure has been building up and Ive been feeling stressed and close to total burnout. TFOGs going through her own work stress (we work at the same institution, go figure), and we had a... Read More
So, you know what? I really haven't enjoyed much about work for the last year and a half or so, having been put "in charge" of a group of people no sensible person would choose to be in charge of. But slowly, somehow,... Read More
I lost a week due to illness (see below), which means I feel like I'm behind where I should be. I'm still "in charge" and feeling like I don't belong. I've got the "faking it" down ok though. I pretend to know what I'm doing and people play... Read More
I think I'm getting the hang of this "leadership" shit. That, or people are starting to figure out I'm here for the duration and I have to be dealt with. New colleagues are about to start, and having played a part in hiring them, I'm looking forward to this. That said, I'll be... Read More
I have nothing of value to write here. So please post your comments to my girlfriend here, as we both know she is the interesting one in our partnership, and the reason most of you ever read this journal.
I suck.
I will wholeheartedly admit I was saddened when I realized it was, instead, a 20-something lady from (I think) Texas.
This is terribly random, but it popped into my head for some reason.
