My new mantra

“There is nothing that this job can throw at me that I can’t handle.”

Between:

  • Oversleeping until 8:00 (I start work at 8:30.)
  • The two things from this weekend that didn’t go as they should (retrieved files…they’re processing now)
  • The imminent change in reporting software that’ll force me to learn something new…again (Must learn about Crystal Reports)
  • The call I have to make to someone about a bill (salesguy’s on vacation…I don’t usually deal w/advertisers)
  • The contributions I need to make toward a business plan, due Wednesday (a few paragraphs…surely I can do that…what’s a business plan??)
  • and the melted Burt’s Bees lipgloss that dripped all over my legs while I was in the drive-through at McDonalds. (ow! hot wax! ew! Red stains!)

    Is it any wonder that my Fiesta Salad turned into a Cheeseburger Happy Meal with a Teeny Beany Baby Bear?

    Hello!

    About Me

    I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

    I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)

    the wombsday clock graphic with two teal haired women in white rockers. It has reached 12 months and there are teal and white stars all over the graphic.
    Well, that happened.
