We're expecting financial difficulties - I've mentioned before that I am a Project position AND that I need accommodations to work. Well, there's been a lot of upheaval, so it's likely that my position won't be renewed. Add to this, the fact that I can only work a 32 hour week BUT ALSO need to … Continue reading Save, Save, SAVE!

Can We Please Not Do That Again: Anxiety Edition
I hadn't had a full out anxiety attack in months - I'm pretty aware of what things might set me off, and I'm careful to take my medications prior to expected events. So, I freak out, but I don't actually have an attack and can calm down with some work. As a side not, I'm … Continue reading Can We Please Not Do That Again: Anxiety Edition
Had a Snow Day!
Last Sunday, I went to bed with nary a snowflake in sight. At 4:30am Monday morning, the text came in - our office was closed! Which prompted me dragging myself out of bed and canceling appointments. Meanwhile, I looked outside, and it didn't look particularly bad. Little did I know that they hadn't plowed the … Continue reading Had a Snow Day!
Bob’s Bitchin’ BBQ
Okay, so this is as much swearing as this blog's going to get! And only because it is the actual name of this business. We had our year-end work meeting in Dodgeville this year, and we ate at Bob's Bitchin' BBQ! This involved quite a hike for everyone, but we got to see our Janesville … Continue reading Bob’s Bitchin’ BBQ
Work Training – Wisconsin Dells!
So, I had to travel for a work training in the Wisconsin Dells recently, and of course this endlessly stressed me out. I was told my husband couldn't stay in the hotel room, but his parents lived close enough that he intended to drop me off and drive to their house. I haven't really traveled … Continue reading Work Training – Wisconsin Dells!
Oh, My Heart!
I woke up this morning at 8:30 and thought I was late for work. Note that I have today off, so levitating out of bed and freaking was NOT good for my health. Not good for my husband's health or sense of humor. But I don't have work. *relieved sigh* I'm sure you've done this … Continue reading Oh, My Heart!
Bummer: Neck Injury
So, I slept funny on Wednesday, and when I woke up and tried to move my neck it was excruciating, complete with a scream and tears. I couldn't even get upright without help. I took a muscle relaxant, had my husband try to give me a neck massage, pain killers, and nothing helped. On top … Continue reading Bummer: Neck Injury
I Sound Like a Flight Attendant #Lifegoals
So, at work I make a ton of phone calls where I have to get certain bits of information verbally confirmed. I research each first request, call, ask the same questions, and have different processes depending on the answers. I've done about 500 of these phone calls (according to my stats) now, which is a … Continue reading I Sound Like a Flight Attendant #Lifegoals
What Is It About High Schools?
I spent all of Thursday attending an event at a High School nearby, and it was so hard. I was so uncomfortable and awkward, and you would think I had gotten over this in the last 15 years, but it made me feel really insecure. Seriously, the kids weren't at all interested in me - … Continue reading What Is It About High Schools?
Vague But Amusing Work Things!
So, this will be somewhat vague because I try not to drag Real People into my posts, and I definitely try not to facilitate work drama. BUT. We had a regional Christmas Meeting last Friday! We left the office to one of our partners who graciously agreed to keep an eye on things and serve … Continue reading Vague But Amusing Work Things!
