My work didn't literally explode (thank God). But the figurative use of the word is very strongly intentional. I work in IT supporting a system. My boss and I are THE primary admins for this system in a company of about 20k employees. There are some others scattered around the company with lower rights, but… Continue reading Life: Work Explosion

Politics: Jury Duty
I haven't ever served on a jury. And I haven't been called in minute, so maybe I'll yet be able to participate in one of the most important citizen duties I can. I am writing this week because of the national news story about a certain ex-president who has a trial beginning jury selection. Now,… Continue reading Politics: Jury Duty
Review: Daylight Savings time change
This isn't even really a review. We all hate it. I seriously don't know anyone who is better than ambivalent about it. Most people despise the change. A majority say they hate the change. Period. A minority hate the change, but could we please just stay on daylight savings time so when we get home… Continue reading Review: Daylight Savings time change
Chair Update
So Cyber Monday I found a deal for a Steelcase Series 1 chair. It took over a week to arrive, but honestly that still is pretty impressive to me to get furniture shipped that fast. I try not to let Amazon's ludicrous delivery expectations to cloud my mind with unreasonable expectations of everyone else. Plaid speed isn't… Continue reading Chair Update

Pet: Riley learns to play
When we adopted Riley in 2018, he didn't know how to play. Let's be clear, he still doesn't really. Like, most dogs know they can go get their toys. They know tug of war. They might even naturally know fetch. Riley knew none of these. Riley and Genkii snuggling on a heated blanket. Riley is only snuggling because of… Continue reading Pet: Riley learns to play
Life Plan: 2023 Review and 2024
December is always ridiculously hard for me to blog. I really need to pre-write some stuff that I can schedule out ahead. I always think it. I never do it. Overall, I think 2023 went well. I never write as much as I want to. It's very hard to find the balance between all the things: writing, reading, work,… Continue reading Life Plan: 2023 Review and 2024
Memories: Dental Trauma
warning: I am going to be writing about bad things that happened to me. If you don't want to read about them -stop now. This is you last warning. I have been back to dentist for the first time in 4 years. It wasn't as bad as I feared, but neither were my teeth in… Continue reading Memories: Dental Trauma
Review: Chairs (Pt 2)
Click here to read Part 1. There was not a plan to have a part 2, but Wednesday morning my sister and I had a really great conversation and I ended it going "I'm going to have a whole 'nother blog post out of this." We mostly talked about money. Something I barely touched on… Continue reading Review: Chairs (Pt 2)
Life: Chair Woes
I have been working from home pretty regularly since 2018. During the pandemic, like many other white-collar professionals, I became 100% work-from-home (WFH). I have since moved to "only required one day a week, but I usually go into the office 2 days." I've found it's actually good for my mental health to get out… Continue reading Life: Chair Woes
