How do you define yourself?

Today was one of the worst days in recent memory for me. I found out that a goofy email had gotten mis-directed to the wrong person, one of our clients and definitely--- one of those 'Oh s___!' moments.

My wedding ring is in the shop- needs all new platinum!!! The setting is just worn too thin and one of the tiny trillion diamonds is broken and the rest were at risk. It’s going to cost 1600 dollars and I’m going to have to pay for it over time. I didn’t know that wedding rings wore out!!! This was... Sign in to see full entry.

Hanging on to the creative spirit...

... with ten fingers! I am a creative worker and lately, this creativity has been challenged by some discourteous management and co-workers. Negative, petty environments do not suit me and I've managed to avoid them for most of my work life. Sooner or later, it seems that all corporate involvement... Sign in to see full entry.

Coming down the home stretch..

to the weekend! And man, do I ever need a weekend!!! Have you ever felt so doggone tired that your teeth practically hurt? That's me right now.
