The writing, despite all my good intentions, has been going very slowly. I’m tempted to say it’s not my fault, but that would be a lie and I’m only that bad a liar in the minute and a half after I’m woken from a dead sleep. Today, I’m at work. This means my mentality [...]
Lazy Friday
It’s the Friday between Christmas and New Years. There is no one in the office except the finance department. Non one is calling, except to talk to the finance department. It works, but it’s dead boring. I’ve stuffed about 1,000 envelopes today and have about 500 left, give or take. Also dead boring. It looks [...]
Let It Snow…
It’s snowing here today, and I have to say that the panoramic view from my lobby windows is quite lovely. It would be more lovely if I faced the mountains instead of the parking lot and the office buildings next door, but beggars can’t be choosers. I’ve got the lobby Christmas tree against a background [...]
Back From the Dead
… okay not really back from the dead, or at least that’s not how I feel at the moment, but I am back from a great weekend in California. Unfortunately, it looks like life here at home didn’t stop while I was gone, and aside from the things I need to get done, Matt [...]

Maybe all the other clever and semi-clever subject lines have all been flukes. The world may never know. So far this week, I’ve edited three theology [...]
Early Morning
I have to say that I feel a little bit nuts for being awake at 6:40 on a Saturday morning – and I feel even crazier for having been awake for an hour already. Ostensibly, there are three reasons for this. The first is that throughout the summer my sleep schedule slipped farther and farther [...]
First Day
Today was my first day of training for the new part-time job. I very much doubt it’s going to be a very hard or stressful situation, which is very good. I like easy and low-stress. Tomorrow is going to be incredibly boring… I’ve learned most of the essentials for the job, and it really only [...]
Breaking News in the “Gainful Employment” Department
Since my deadline is 9 hours away and I really don’t want to work on any more edits, this seems like a wonderful time to go blogging! I heard a few days ago, but I’ve been waiting for the right moment to announce this news: I got a job. Yes, I know, this goes [...]
