The Long Something

smokingpen | June 29, 2009

I think I often have great plans to do big things. I think some of those big things include my blog and making it more popular and more accessible. Point, I started at the earliest posts editing them so that the links all went somewhere, images were either updated or deleted, and they cross-referenced older [...]

Searching for a State of Equilibrium

smokingpen | June 24, 2009

I’ve found that some of the things I want to be doing compared to many of the things I need to be doing have kept me out of a state of equilibrium for some time. Months. I like the idea of writing blog entries and have noted that the number of hits I receive a [...]

Quickly

smokingpen | June 1, 2009

Well, I am two days into the new job. This is good. I am hoping to like it for a while. The drive is about an hour in each direction, but the outcome is more money and the potential for a lot more. Good times.
Also, I am still messing around with Mind Mapping software. Currently [...]

Now That I Am Done

Wow! Now that I am done with “this place” I am a little excited and off. I walked into the store to turn in my resignation letter and when the girls in the personnel office asked what I needed I said, “I am here to quit.” They got weird looks on their faces and asked [...]

Moving On…

smokingpen | May 27, 2009

Fatigue and Feeling Trapped

smokingpen | May 18, 2009

I was at work all night. This is pretty typical as 5/7th’s of my week is spent at work between 10 pm and 6:30 am. As a result, for the 8.5 hours times 5 days I spend approximately (paid time) 40 hours and 45 hours at a place I don’t like when I am not [...]

Funky Experience

smokingpen | May 4, 2009

Because I work at night I sleep during the day. Generally, given what time I go to bed, I sleep all day and wake up about the point where the sun is going down. Someone might connect this with being a vampire – heck, the service manager for overnights makes that connection frequently, but the [...]

Academia

smokingpen | April 27, 2009

I’ve been wondering, for a while, what it is I am meant to be doing. This isn’t a question of what I want to be doing and what I dream of doing, but a question of what I should be doing with my life that allows me the latitude to move forward and pursue what [...]
