Saturday blog, about my goals for the coming year.

About a Blog
I have not written a blog in some time. I have been considering it, and I don’t think I will be updating as often. Of course, I say that now, but something could spark interest in a couple of…

The short version of a long story is that I have been sick since Friday, and because of that, I slept all day Sunday. I woke up at 2:00 a.m. on this Monday morning and realized I have to go to work…

I solo ran the (travel-industry related) shop for the entirety of 4th of July weekend while my boss enjoyed a (deserved) vacation with his family.
Frankly, I am extremely proud of my tenacity and resilience over the past four days.
That's me patting myself on the back, in case Boss-man forgets.

Protesters outside PP today tried to offer me "help." I offered them help by suggesting that perhaps next time the number of people in their protest should be larger than the number of women in the waiting room.
Also, how are you going to help me? You got a Gardasil shot in your back pocket, buddy?
