Perhaps not the most fortuitous idea

Monday afternoon before work found me on the couch browsing YouTube. I had gone so deep down the rabbit hole that I was watching some Russian talk-show featuring Jeremy Renner, Chris Hemsworth, and Tom Hiddleston (all of Avengers fame). It had English subtitles, and the actors (except for Mr. Hiddleston) were terribly awkward, watching theContinue reading “Perhaps not the most fortuitous idea”

Scratching the itch of nostalgia

My bet would be that most folks reading this blog have not danced with Windows 8 yet. I’ll admit it takes some getting used to, and mostly what I do, working at Geek Squad, is resetting computers or removing passwords because folks are returning computers. Who cares about Windows 8, you’re probably asking. 9 timesContinue reading “Scratching the itch of nostalgia”

Obligatory 2012 in review post

The first thing I want to point out is that I recently changed my layout, and it automatically capitalizes every word in my titles, and that bugs me a little bit. Glad I got that off my chest. As most of you already know, last night saw the last day of the calendar year thatContinue reading “Obligatory 2012 in review post”

The joys of Marvel Comics

This is a real cover, and my hubby just ordered it for me because…I mean…this is real.

A day off (revised)

I had what I thought was a witty post written about my largely uneventful day today. But I decided not to post it. While I will be the first one to tell you that I like to be the center of attention, I realized, toward the end of the original post, that I am actuallyContinue reading “A day off (revised)”

I don’t mean to brag, but…

I decided to make my coworkers a ginormous batch of cookies for the day after Christmas. All but one of us in the precinct is working the day after (aka “the Show”), and I think we’ll need some extra cheer during our busiest – and likely lowest attitude – day. And JT had us closeContinue reading “I don’t mean to brag, but…”

Finalizing Christmas and old friends

Yesterday was none too pleasant and found me having a panic attack, curled up in the fetal position on my bed because I ran out of packing tape to ship presents. Needless to say, packing tape was not the real issue, and I spent the last few minutes before literally dragging myself up for workContinue reading “Finalizing Christmas and old friends”

Limbo. Or “how TFA continues to screw with me”

I still hadn’t heard from GVSU by today, and while I wasn’t entirely surprised, I was concerned that perhaps there was some difficulty with transcripts. Sure enough, for some unknown reason, I went against my gut and had listed my time at Delta State on my application. I thought I had deleted it before submittingContinue reading “Limbo. Or “how TFA continues to screw with me””

Sweet as vinegar

In addition to the peach-honey butter, apple butter, pickles, salsa, chips, and apple sauce that I threw together this year for Christmas gifts, I also decided to make my mom some cranberry-orange vinegar, since she eats a lot of salad. I thought it might make a nice, quasi-festive (read: cranberries) vinegar that she could useContinue reading “Sweet as vinegar”

Comfort in trivial things

I had my project for this post done yesterday, but I felt…silly, I guess, for wanting to post about it. But working in the kitchen, doing something with my hands in general, always makes me feel a little bit better about the world. The universe seems so much simpler when I view it through aContinue reading “Comfort in trivial things”
