Disqualified for English
So, I am not qualified to get my dream job. Why? Because I speak the language of my country. How messed up is that?! (Yah, that’s right – this is going to be a rant blog!) There’s a really cool company for whom I really want to work. They have a medical clinic just a …
So Proud of My Son!
The other night, I went to my son’s Cheerleader Banquet. It was quite the eye-opener. Due to the odd hours of my job, I had been unable to attend any of his performances, so I didn’t know how he was doing. I know he loves it oh so much. I know that Coach Vickie (who …
Smoking Weed-Eater
The outside walls to my house are paper thin. I’ve learned to ignore most of the sounds which come from outside. A car door which sounds like it’s in my driveway? Probably a couple of houses down. The sound of children playing in my yard? Probably across the street. I still can’t explain the weird …
Where Do You Find Truth?

I’m Still Here
One of my favorite followers just commented on the fact that I haven’t been blogging lately. I’ve been busy. I know, I know – we’re all busy. Truthfully, I’m working on things which I find to be more time-sensitive than blogging. I miss blogging, but hopefully the things I’m doing now will set me up …
Honey vs. Vinegar
Last week, I had the chance to work with someone with whom I’d only chatted in passing. I thought he was a good guy from the few words we’d exchanged, but I had no idea who he really was. Until I was able to work with him for half of a shift. He had worked …
