not my job…..

By me • Jan 17th, 2008 • Category: today's blog 365 post, work

One of the many reason I chose to work in theatre for such a long time was because it attracted interesting people. I could live with the low pay, uneasiness about where the next paycheck was coming from, and the constant stress to produce miracles out of thin air as long as I knew that [...]



gettin’ my geek on

By me • Nov 28th, 2007 • Category: nablopomo, work

So far I love working at a library. I love getting to wear business/business casual clothing* (at my last job you dressed simply to stay warm.) I love working with people who like learning new things. I even like watching the weirdos that come in and are so meticulous that they have to put a [...]



starting work

By me • Nov 16th, 2007 • Category: nablopomo, work

I just finished my first week at my new job working as an Aide in the Library Technology Room in a large Detroit suburb.

I have ovaries (I was going to say boobs, but a couple [...]



curse of the id photo

By me • Nov 13th, 2007 • Category: nablopomo, work

I had to go to work.
I am finally employed! And it’s not at Michaels! It’s at a real live library! And I’m going to be paid! Not much, but [...]



boss lady

By me • Jul 10th, 2007 • Category: cats, work

I’m the only worker in the office right now. One of my coworkers has left for the day, another one is in Wisconsin for a vendor workshop, and the owner of the company just left to make the trip around the lake himself. So right now it’s just me and the boss. She’s got plans [...]



time for a vacation?

By me • Mar 9th, 2007 • Category: whining, work

Just a quick bit of whine - last night as I was cleaning the bank the vacuum cleaner broke halfway through the night. It was pretty spectacular too - something major broke and it started thrashing around on it’s own like it was having a grand mal seizure and I could see sparks coming from [...]



playing catch up

‘Kay, I know it’s been a while, but I’ve just been too busy doing stuff and being lazy to take the time to write. Here’s a run down of what’s happened in the last two weeks.
1. A very generous donor made it possible for the Kent County Humane Society to offer “Tomcat Tuesdays” during the [...]
