The truth is a lonely place, that's why so many prefer the company of their own delusions.

I hide behind sarcasm because my inner monologue is a bit too brutally honest for polite society.

Me: 4 monitors?

Boss: Yeah, you’re going to need them.

Me: Why?

Boss: This will be abundantly clear in the very near future.

Me: I know I’m handling all of the IT and the admin half of the marketing, but damn.

Yesterday started out great and then took a turn. I love my new job, however, about 3 hours into my day, my mom called. I almost didn’t answer, but I had a free minute. She told me that my sister passed in her sleep. We weren’t close, she was my half-sister, but we were getting closer. She was 62.

Treat them like a toddler if they are so intent on behaving like one. “I understand that this topic is extremely exciting, but proper etiquette dictates that you show restraint and contain your excitement until I am done speaking.” Followed by a glaring stare and a polite “May I continue now?”

When you get a call from your former employer asking if you can come up to the office because nobody knows what they’re doing…

I gave you almost 3 weeks notice. You took it for granted. I’m not your slave anymore, so fuck you, pay me. My consulting fee is $100 an hour, 2 hour minimum. Otherwise…

Changing fields, but I’ve had my feet in marketing for the last 8 years or so, so it’s changing fields but it’s not something I’ve never done. This is also for an executive position.

I e been on the executive level for about 8 years, so I’ve handled everything technical as well as had my feet in the marketing side. This job is for a marketing coordinator, so not technical at all really, which is refreshing.

So, I’ve been looking to change careers and got a call for an interview.

Things must have really changed because every interview I’ve ever gone to has been in an office. This one, she said the CEO wants to meet me, so I’m meeting them for coffee at some bougie coffee place in the morning 🤣

The amount of people who are absolutely giddy at the prospect of the President turning the US Military on US citizens is appalling.

This is not the United States I served. Not at all.

The pupper has acquired a new skill.

At 16 weeks old he can jump from the floor OVER the back of the couch without touching it.

Here he is with the fully grown 100lb house hippo (lab/Weimaraner mix). He’s gonna be a monster 🤣 Again, only 16 weeks old 🤣

Lord give me strength.

I am a descendant of a Founding Father, a Daughter of the American Revolution, a US Navy Veteran, and the first woman in my family to serve.

Some call me honorable or patriotic.

Trump calls me scum and an enemy of the people because my loyalty lies with this country and her people, not with him.

No, I haven’t noticed a difference really. It’s still a pain in the ass to get an appointment if you need to be seen quickly. Still have to wait for specialist appointments, etc. Nothing has really changed as far as my experience goes.
