Yesterday, the company I work for sent an email about donations for their Holiday Giving Drive through pledges. During lunch, one of the executives conducted a hard sell to get those pledges from employees going to and from lunch. For one hour and fifteen minutes, I stayed hidden at my desk, waiting to use the…

Yesterday, low-key stress caused some anxiety due to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. This morning, all of my routes to work were either closed or reduced lanes due to road work. I felt claustrophobic. Moments are happening like eggs hitting a wall. I’m having second thoughts about “Van Life” as far as being…

Another weekend vanished. Friday night I did a reaction video involving Bray Wyatt’s promo. Someone accused me of laughing but I wasn’t laughing because the promo wasn’t what I expected. I don’t think the person watched the video. I spent time drawing and sketching over the weekend. I had a lot on my mind and…

We’re halfway through October. It’s been a mild week despite my horoscope predictions. Jaxx is either going through his version of the “terrible twos” or adolescence. A new employee started Monday and sits in the once-empty cubicle next to me. He sneezes a lot. Have a great weekend.

My wife and I are experiencing an upset stomach. We think it’s due to something we ate at the wedding. Too bad because the food was delicious. Jaxx had his 14-week vet appointment, yesterday. He checked out healthily and received his vaccinations. Last night, he kept vomiting but seemed fine this morning. We’ll keep an…

The weekend is a blink of an eye. My body is on a terrible cycle of much caffeine and insufficient sleep; I can’t stay awake during the day and sleep at night. I have a phone interview tomorrow, and I’m still waiting for the call details. My boss rescheduled our Monday 1:1 session again. I…

Monday felt weird. I didn’t hear from my boss, and she canceled my 1:1 without warning, which was odd. A co-worker is distancing herself from a project I was pulled into. I’m out of the loop on projects that I am tracking. I don’t understand what is happening. The same situation is occurring here that…

It is weird not having Sammy around, especially this morning as we had our daily routine. The events of my life over the past eighteen months have shown that I need to stop living by the standards of others. Death will show up without an appointment.

I’ve been given excuses, unpleasant surprises and contradictions. The money is not worth what I’m feeling right now.

Happy Friday
Late start getting ready for work. My usual route down to one lane had to take an alternate route. The reroute took longer than expected, so my daughter ended up being late for work. I quickly developed road rage as I continued on the way to work. I bumped a curb driving into work. My…

I ended my career in Learning & Development last Friday. The only thing keeping me from starting my new job is completing my background check. It is in progress as of July 6, 2022. I whacked my head on the corner of my desk while attempting to pet my dog, who was underneath it. I…

The fireworks last night were less intrusive. My dog didn’t bark until my daughter arrived home after midnight. I don’t celebrate Independence Day for reasons that run deeply. I have been drawing a lot lately. Stress and bouts with depression are happening more frequently. I am waiting to hear back from a prospective employer with…

A week ago, at work, there was a weird vibe; the atmosphere felt off. At night I’ve had stressful dreams. I couldn’t remember the details, but the sensation was memorable. On Monday, I learned that the company is implementing a hiring freeze and the position I’m recruiting to fill is on hold. My cryptocurrency assets…

So, this week the company CEO visited us. After his last visit in December 2021, I was not looking forward to it. He had me feeling horrible the last time, so I expected more of the same. He did not disappoint. Our one-on-one meetings feel like interrogations. I am often caught off guard without knowing…

The atmosphere created a much darker mood this week. I’m feeling another increase in stress. I reached out to my former boss to check on him since his departure in January 2022. He says he’s doing fine, and I hope that’s the case. I am applying to opportunities with better pay and compensation because doing…
