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

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

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

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
Life Events: Stitches
I was bringing my son upstairs on Sunday for a nap when it happened. He ran ahead. I was about 6 steps up when I heard him start crying. I thought, "I bet he fell down." I got upstairs and he was bawling with the freedom only toddlers can give to tears of pain. I… Continue reading Life Events: Stitches

This is going to be a short post. The writer's have been on strike for a few months now. The actors have joined the picket line. If you have been under a rock and didn't know: they get paid like shit for those awesome shows/movies we all love. Not always, but too often. And those… Continue reading SAG Strike
