Ryan: I have to go up to [apartment complex his workplace services] today after work. I’ll drop you off at home and head up there. (We carpool to work)
Me: OK. How long do you think you’ll be?
Ryan: Between 20 minutes and 5 hours.
Sadly, this is not a surprising answer, and he wasn’t really joking. It’s [...]

Ryan and I have an ultrasound coming up on Monday, where we will hopefully find out the sex of this little baby. I am beyond excited for this, and yet a little scared about what it means. I don’t know anything about being a parent, other than what I read. And I’m pretty sure any [...]

-I am almost ashamed to say that I love Glee because so many people actively dislike it. I completely acknowledge and agree that the racial and homosexual stereotypes are pretty bad. But I love music, and I love the characters. When Mercedes threw a rock through Kurt’s windshield and then broke into song…I just loved [...]

I told my coworker today that I need a sign I can hang on my neck that says “I’m in a pissy mood, so don’t be dumb today. Or talk to me at all.” Except apparently I need one people can see over email and the phone too. So far today I’m annoyed by:
Customer who, [...]

Am I obligated to wait on hold for someone that called me and put me on hold before I was able to pick up the phone? And does it make a difference if I don’t like their hold music?
Also, why are people who are supposed to be professionals of some sort so webinar-stupid? When you [...]

This is the first job I’ve ever had where I couldn’t do it all myself. It’s been [...]

In bullet form, because I’m feeling bullet-y:
Why are meeting rooms always so cold? It is commonly known that if you are going to attend a continuing ed class (I have to attend classes to keep my insurance license) you should wear layers, because it will be freezing. This is not just in Duluth. And it’s [...]

I’m sure it is no surprise to any of you that I love facebook. It definitely has it’s issues, but for the most part it keeps me connected with the people I want to stay in touch with, and even some I didn’t know I wanted to stay in touch with. It’s been especially great [...]

I didn’t write last week. I couldn’t even keep it up for one week. But in my defense, work was insane. I came in to the office at 6:15 or so one morning, and by 7:30 or so a couple mornings (I don’t usually work extra hours, so I’m not used to it). That was [...]

It’s the end of the month so work is a little busier than usual anyway, but these past couple days I have gotten just buried. Coming in at 6am on a Friday is just wrong, but it looks like that’s what I’ll be doing.
Remind me please that I should be thankful to have a [...]
