...how difficult and distorted and cruel life can be at times, and how some of that is my fault. Most know that Umi (my mother--yes, I have to remind you now and then) has the beginning stages of dementia, or as we like to call it, demential (thanks for the typo, Zia). It helps to… Continue reading I Forget…

Ready, Aim, Fire!
Last week, during a rare lull in calls, one of my co-workers broke out the Nerf guns. She, of course, aimed into the boss's office first. You try to not scream when one of those bullets comes flying over the cubicle wall at you while you're on the phone. Of course, you realize, this means… Continue reading Ready, Aim, Fire!
Hilarity Ensues…
...in the form of ignorance when it comes to computers. So last week, I heard this from another cubicle: "There is a physical power button, ma'am . . . no, not the dell logo." And this was my reaction... It gets better... "Ma'am, what kind of computer is it? No. Do you have a tower?… Continue reading Hilarity Ensues…
A Case of the Monday…
...stupids. No, really. Pay attention. "No, ma'am, the screen is the monitor." Listening in on a co-worker's call this past week proved more fruitful for post ideas. It's also making me laugh hysterically in my little cubicle in the corner in conjunction with the calls I'm getting. Like the person I just talked to. They didn't have… Continue reading A Case of the Monday…
Why Kick-Ass Heroines Need to Exist
Are you waiting for Prince Charming to come rescue you from your common life? Why? Do you need to be rescued? We have raised generations of girls who think this way, and I'll admit that after being raised on Disney stories about princesses being rescued from whatever fate held them back, I was one of… Continue reading Why Kick-Ass Heroines Need to Exist
How Hard Is It…
...to create a new password? Apparently, it's extremely difficult when I have to remote in to help and still, the person just can't seem to type their newly created password correctly. FIVE TIMES, at the very least. *headdesk* Yes, I have to type it for them sometimes. I *wish* I was joking. In other news,… Continue reading How Hard Is It…
Change is Good
I don't know if I've talked about this topic before, but what the hell, we'll discuss it anyway. Change . . . that little word that strikes fear into the hearts of men and women. You'd think the word was Voldemort. I don't understand why people freak out about change. Change is good. It's a… Continue reading Change is Good
Smoke and Mirrors
I love that the clients/customers in the district who call me think that I'm this great and powerful sorceress, but it's really all just smoke and mirrors. They call, expecting me to perform miracles within the precious few minutes they have before their next class comes in, parents show up for a meeting, or prior… Continue reading Smoke and Mirrors
It’s a Techie World
...and apparently us techies can't operate a two-way radio.
Let’s Face It…
I suck at blogging. I really, really do. And that's okay. I can admit it. That's a step forward, right? Of course it is because I'm not in denial about it. But this year, I'm making a few changes, mainly because I need to get myself organized again. Let's please not call them New Year's Resolutions. Those are only a To Do list that *may* last a month. The changes I'm talking about are long-term, because that's how I roll.
