I’m Alive
And Well! Got myself a new job, and there is nothing like being able to say “I don’t care” to yourself when corporate hands down another lame-o decision that you don’t have to worry about! Plus since I put in my notice everyone has been coming up to me and saying nice things. Work is still difficult but I know it’s almost over, and I’m taking a week off between this job and the next . . . during which time I will do lots of blog updating. Right now I’m overwhelmed trying to close out here, so I’d better get back to it. But soon I will give details…

Certified Tapeworm
I have become a tapeworm. I am an avid reader. Anyone who has seen my library, which takes up half of my roughly 400SF shed, can attest to this.

My First Time
My kitten Bella is on my lap playing sneak attack with my sleeves, and totally ruining my concentration during this moment of moments – ah ah ah ah aaaah – when I write my first blog entry. My blog addiction has come full circle, I’m now one of you all, you "spaces" people, who are going to lose me my job because you are way more interesting than the construction bizz. Hmmm, let’s see – do sales report, read funny drug counselor experiences – report, read funnies, report, read funnies – now where would you come down? My friend Amanda started this, evil tempter, and now I spend half my day…
