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 […]

Another weekend gone. I did a few sketches to take my mind off things. Jaxx had his last vet appointment on Saturday. He registered at 18-weeks old and 6.2 pounds. He received his final shot for the year. Everyone loves him. Daylight Saving Time ended yesterday. Gaining back the hour lost feels more like a […]

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 […]

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

The Last Eight Months
#TLDR This story is about my experience working for a five-year-old immigration “start-up” company.

SCOTUS did the deed and overturned Roe v. Wade. The “right to choose” is no longer protected by the law, and several states are now pushing their legislation to have abortions become a criminal act. Yet, many of these states are okay with mass shootings because they believe people have the right to bear arms. […]

Mercury is in Retrograde; the atmosphere is producing a strange vibe. I’ve lost count of the number of job application rejections. I feel that my current employer will fire me soon, and if that happens, I have nowhere to land. The cryptocurrency market is tanking. My small amount of investments is now worth less than […]

The mood at work this week was dismal. Many of us are processing the feedback received. Despite the “fun” activities the new VP is committing to, the work behind the scenes feels cut-throat. The days feel numbered. I haven’t heard back since my interviews last week; maybe things didn’t go as well as they seemed. […]

Yesterday, I had an interview due to happenstance. I have a couple of panel interviews this week, so we will see what happens. Things may once again come full circle. I had my first one-on-one with the new Vice President of Global Customer Success. He was apologetical 20-minutes late. We discussed his observations during his […]

The first week of Spring, but it felt like Summer. Those on the East Coast will likely disagree. Another week of long hours and unrealistic expectations at work. We celebrated my grandson’s eighth birthday over the weekend. He is growing up quickly. I watched stand-up comedy performed by Earthquake, Arsenio Hall, and Jeff Foxworthy on […]

Birth
Seeds of resurrection. Childish games they continue playing. Those lingering lies were their truth as fairy tales. I stepped away. For a moment, my thoughts I quietly transcribed—a world of burning embers. I returned, and everything I knew turned to ashes. Memories no longer forgotten.

The week started quickly; Monday felt heavy and empty. Things could have gone better, but that was not the case. Our finances require us to rob Peter in or to pay Paul. I have to postpone my tooth pull, hoping that the infection doesn’t come back. My car needs maintenance soon. My employer continues increasing […]

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 […]

Today, we met with the LMS vendor, and the VP of Finance got them to make the changes she wanted, including reducing the number of users by 70%. We can’t afford to make the annual payment as she asked if we could do monthly instead of annually. The contract allows either annually or bi-annually. It […]

It’s been a year since my father’s passing. While I am coming to terms with his death, the situation that preceded the moment is unacceptable. My mother, the twins, and oldest sister knew he was ill (cancer)and did nothing to help him. Instead, they took his money and claimed his illness was God’s punishment for […]

The first Friday of the New Year is the last day of the new hire training program. My Covid exposed student received a negative test result. The week ended with highly favorable reviews of the training program, which gave me a huge sigh of relief given the tumultuous six weeks of work getting this in […]

Temporal Loop
I watched the seasons change and found a new opportunity. A sinister familiarity lingered. Something is unchanged. The rippling effect in the pit of my spirit tells me this is more than deja vu. Yes, I have been here before, many times over. I must come to terms with something, and I cannot locate it. […]
