Last night I was moaning to James about how unfulfilling and pointless my job is, and he reminded me that I was engaged in one of my own worst pet peeves – complaining sans action. I hate it when people complain but don’t DO anything to fix whatever they’re complaining about. Either at least try [...]

My job numbs the mind Entering data all day Back to Craigslist ads? Romance was waning He waited outside for me Shared lunch reunites I lazed for so long Ignored the housework and chores My roommate threw fits I lacked nice clean clothes The washer hums busily I anticipate My innards growl Cajun black-eyed pea [...]

I regularly attend two churches, one in Vancouver and then the one in Langley that I went to for years while I was at school and now visit every two weeks when I'm staying with James. The latter is largely populated with senior citizens and I seriously love old people. Especially old ladies, and especially [...]

It's at the crusty itchy stage. So I'm at work and there's dried lymph. I can't be in the can constantly with hot compresses, so whenever I smile or laugh, I can feel the crust sort of… cracking apart… GROSS. And check out this mess. I decided to change out the stud for a shorter [...]

I can't go to bed yet so I think I will write more. The reason that I can't go to bed is that it is my roommate's monthly girls poker night. It's not that big of a deal, especially since she gave plenty of advance notice which is cool – but they are all pretty [...]

I do not want to go to work today. I want a job where I like going to work. Although I yesterday and today is scanning which is marginally better than data entry. The former is staring at the screen and type type type all day. On Wednesday I was entering author, recipient, and date. [...]

I was going to add another bit about that Wink Cafe, James and I went back there yesterday night. I got the lemon cheesecake this time, and was going to order some chardonnay as well, but the lady said “Oh no, chardonnay won't go with that. I'll pour you something else.” So she got me [...]

As an aside, I hate the word “hump” when used as a verb. It's strangely, onomatopaeically… revolting. Oddly enough, I like Wednesdays alright. So here's what's been going on. Monday night after walking home from work and bitching about bird shit I went out with Corey, Diana, Jay, Jessie, Megan, and Taryn. Tiny place called [...]

I just overheard a funny conversation on the bus. There's these two guys, let's say Winston and Reginald. Neither very professionally dressed… Winston was a bit shabby and had greasy hair, and Reginald looked like he'd invented a time machine, gone back to 1985, and stolen a postal worker's uniform. Or maybe found it at [...]

It's nice to be earning money. I made $80 today… seems kinda dumb of me to be doing stupid boring work for $10 an hour after dropping 80 grand that I didn't have on a degree… but after 4 months of not being able to find a job I'll take it. So I decided to [...]
