W and I had a fight last night. Well, let me qualify that. By our standards it was a fight. By normal people’s standards it was a calmly communicated instance of mutual irritation. She got home from work fairly late, which is normal for Mondays, and as she was eating her dinner, I eagerly started [...]

Here’s the longer version of the story. A few weeks ago we had asked a friend of ours whether he would be interested/willing to be our donor. We asked him to give it some thought and not decide right away, of course. He wasn’t the first one we had asked, but he was the first [...]
getting readier

I’m excited about this, so I just have to post a quickie–it looks like we have a donor! We have to work out the nitty-gritty stuff and make sure we agree about the specifics, but he said he would be interested in being our donor. And my back is doing so much better, so I [...]

I’ve been venturing out into the yard recently. This is actually a new development for me. For the first year or so that I lived here, I was really just visiting, and treated the house as W’s. Then our second summer together, when I actually lived here full time, I started claiming space in the [...]
weekend

I have a snarky post in my head about one of my coworkers, but I think I’m going to save it for a day when I’m already feeling bitchy and need to get it out of my system. Today I’m not feeling bitchy, I’m just feeling ready for the weekend. I want to [...]
feeling good

Today was a day I just felt good about everything. Nothing is substantially different from yesterday, I just seemed in alignment with my world today. My body feels healthy, people at work were friendly and chatty, and the weather was beautiful. I closed my car windows ten minutes before a sudden and violent rainstorm. Things [...]
loneliness

I don’t usually feel lonely. I like my life, my work, my home, my marriage. But it takes me a long time to make new friends, and it’s taking me a particularly long time in my new community. I’ve been working and living here full time for almost two years now. But still, no friends. [...]

This is going to be a nasty week. I’m still waiting to hear anything about the job, so I think that raises my anxiety level. And of course the PMS is ratcheting up, too. My tolerance for stupidity is just about zero. I have a very well-meaning coworker, office-mate, actually, who just can drive me [...]
other people want my job

In another micro-update of my job search, I found out today that they are indeed interviewing other people for my job. Why, why?! would they need to interview anyone else when they’ve already interviewed me??
So it will be a few more days yet before I find out anything. The good thing is that [...]
wanting and waiting
Posted in work on June 7, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Wanting my new job (not mine yet, dammit!) and waiting for the call to tell me whether I got it is making my current job unbearably boring. I’m so sick of doing this glorified data entry. And a bunch of complicated and annoying changes are coming in the next month or so that I’m going [...]
