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! :)
