Rant: Twenty Minutes Means Twenty Minutes

Posted in career on July 21, 2008 | 1 Comment »

More than two hours ago, I called my foreign counterpart to finalize ONE phrase in a contract.  I had my client on the line and we were ready to go.  My foreign counterpart was not ready.  He needed 20 minutes.

Nearly There

I actually screamed in the bathroom this morning when I stepped on the scale.
I looked down and saw 125.8.  I have not been under 127 in maybe 7 years.
No wonder I began to think I looked thin last night.  Seven days ago, I weighed 131.6 with pms and a bacchanal at Moonshine.  Since pms ended, [...]

Right now, I am a bit overwhelmed with work.  I work every day and [...]

Some Days, I Love My Partner

Posted in career on July 10, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

This morning was rough.  I do not have them often, but the stress, lack of sleep, fears about financial security, etc. just got to me this morning.
