I Can Haz Recession Angst

  • TGIT

    Not quite Friday yet, but close enough. These past few days I went to a conference for two days, had a dinner party for my two bosses one evening, and prepped the house for the arrival of the new puppy.  Not a bad week, but long and exhausting, especially with my Israeli HR director in town and demanding much of my attention. Whenever my “other” boss comes to visit from Israel (about twice a year) I end up with long lunchless days at work, and worst of all NO GYM.  When I don’t go to the gym, every bite I eat wracks me with guilt.  I’m serious.  Gymming lets me…

  • Knocked Up

    No not me.  The movie.   Even though it is 5:45 am on Thursday morning and I’m writing this from work (don’t ask – it doesn’t happen often), I am much better now.  I was even going to delete my crabby post, but I already got a comment on it, and it is from one of my favorite people, so I have to leave it up.  It’s ok to be poor.  We aren’t actually poor, anyway.  I was weak when I wrote this post last night (at work at 7pm, yes it’s been a long week!)  I’d kicked off my dress sandals under my desk, and they really were just STINKY, and at…

  • Sleep Deprived Ranting

    My head is spinning round and round.   I’m so busy.   I’m so poor.   I want to go on a shopping spree and buy some NEW CLOTHES and maybe some NON-SCUFFED NON-STINKY NEW SHOES and perhaps some FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES since we’ve been sticking with canned lately to cut down on the grocery bill and perhaps a NEW SPORTS BRA since my old ones are roughly a decade old and have lost most of their stretchiness and are not doing their job AND LET’S FACE IT, IT AIN’T THAT HARD TO CONTAIN THESE B-CUPS.   To alleviate the angst of my inner spoiled brat who is SICK…

  • Um, Thanks

    I posted the last entry, then picked up my phone to good news.  My hard-working husband had something worked out while I was writing.    So, thanks for keeping me afloat again, God.  I’m a little creeped out by the speed of the response to my plea for a Personal Flotation Device, but it’s all good.   Hmmmm.  It can’t hurt . . .   Hey, Somebody Throw Me a MILLION DOLLARS.

  • Throw Me a PFD

    Anybody else drowning today?   Nothing’s going right for our little family here lately.  Work is a mess – I have spent the last three weeks frantic, heart racing, trying to do a million time-sensitive things.  That’s what I get for saying I was starting to like it.  Recruiting a new member of senior management, planning the summer picnic, directing the work of a spate of new interns, learning the job of the member of senior management for whom I am recruiting so I can do most of her duties while I look for her replacement (because I have lots of time to spare, what with all the interviewing and such)…
