Earlier today, I was thinking about retirement; traveling the country in a converted sprinter van. Later, during my walk for lunch, a sprinter van came within one foot of hitting me while I was in the crosswalk. Maybe that was a sign. https://youtu.be/iOX86jLDCsI

My mother-in-law was admitted to the hospital last night for observation. She fell earlier in the day, and the reason for the fall was heart-related. This morning, I learned that her condition is improving. On my drive to work, I missed my freeway exchange; I think I was daydreaming. This has happened before and I … Continue reading October 27, 2022

Yesterday, I had a phone interview. I missed the first attempt because the recruiter’s number went to voicemail. I could connect, and midway through the call, my phone overheated. I had to wait for several minutes before reconnecting again. The recruiter was very understanding about the situation. https://youtu.be/iOX86jLDCsI

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 … Continue reading September 25, 2022

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 … Continue reading Happy Friday

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 … Continue reading June 15, 2022

The CEO continues to challenge me by asking me when I will have metrics for training. I told him this month. The problem is not only identifying the right key performance indicators but having to redo the training program because leadership didn’t give me the time to do this right in the first place. I … Continue reading May 5, 2022

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 … Continue reading April 13, 2022
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 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 … Continue reading February 17, 2022

It’s the start of a Lunar New Year; every moment has caught me off guard. I took my daughter to work for her 5:45 am shift. We were 15 minutes early, and her trainer was 10 minutes late. A manager moved a class I scheduled to conduct tomorrow to today. This situation left me unprepared … Continue reading February 1, 2022

I am finally feeling better. Word on the street is that another variant of Omicron is in circulation. Double-masked for a while. The new normal. Yesterday, I received a package from Brian; it was a set of legal documents for him to have administrative rights over my late father's estate. An inciteful reminder of the … Continue reading January 31, 2022

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 … Continue reading January 19, 2022

It was the first Monday of the new year. On that day, I delivered the first new hire training program. I received positive comments on the content and the delivery. I was feeling good. As I was ending the day’s training, my boss walked by the classroom door and gave me the heart sign as … Continue reading January 3, 2022

November 27, 2021. Exactly fifty six years ago to the day, my parents forged a union. Tied by a secret circumstance. Our lives shaken by revelations in the wake of my father’s death. Everything we knew was covered in blood. Every excuse and obsession was in Jesus’ name. Our house divided, it was never meant … Continue reading 1965
