This is what I have (not my own work)

I've been using this spreadsheet for years. Insanely easy to use and fun to tweak.

While I don't use it for my day job, I've still found my tablet incredibly useful for

Add this Fstoppers video's approach if, like me, you don't have an Einstein.

Early in the morning and late, late in the evening. I hate that I have to choose between the two.

Back when I did date, I never had any problems paying for myself, and I always offered. If the companion insisted, I'd at least pick up drinks or dessert, or suggest a coffee sequel (therefore avoiding the "coming upstairs for coffee" cliche) and pay for it. Always worked.

Bad savings, credit card debt and crap news from work made me rein in all my plans, and we settled on a nice dinner out the night before, a ceremony by a JOP on Friday, a friend to take photos, less than 20 people with us for a nice dinner afterwards, and then we went to a concert. Total cost: $1,000, and sooooo much…

IANAParent, but my uncle is, and I like how he approached it.

My first gig right out of undergrad was a phone order desk at a small restaurant. It was only just enough to pay for gas and suit dry-cleaning for my actual job search. Took longer than I thought it should have, but it was enough. Do I list it on my CV? Never. Nor did I list the first full-time job I got that I…

For a few years now, my company offers to buy out my vacation hours in December. We have a few people who will dump all their vacation time in the last two to three weeks of the year, and that often results in coverage problems. So, if I don't have anything planned (which I usually don't, and won't until I pay off…

I'm still in the mindset that I'm very lucky to still have a job, and even more so that I got a promotion last year. I don't know if that's ever going to shake.

I ... have actually known a few people where I work that had their PMPs, got audited some years afterward at random, and .... got stripped of the credential. It's making me very careful about what I put in for my own PMP application.

I am still so angry at my new banana allergy. You won't believe how many things are made with those.

I tried to, because my workplace is so crowded that most folks have the option of WFH one day a week to ease the congestion, but omfg even with a 33 Mbps down wireless speed my primary piece of software was slower than molasses over VPN.

You say "avoid." I say "look for."

Local asparagus (picked that morning!) wrapped in pounded chicken thigh meat and bacon. Honey and mustard glaze, salt and pepper, and an oven.

I wish someone told me ten years ago that it was perfectly alright to start work that had nothing to do with my degree. I was miserable for the years of crap retail and customer service jobs because my classmates went off to grad school (and I had slacked off to the point where I can't believe I graduated), and then…

My current assignment pays me time-and-a-half for any time over 40 hours, and if I feel like I need to put in some more hours, I have to ask my management. Every time I've done so, I outlined what I had to get done and why it would take me more time, and it's been approved. This year I'm pretty sure I'll have to put…

I used to be so proud of my last name, because it was the same as a US President, and because my parents divorced way back when, I was the only one with the last name in my household.

It's a looooooot of ramen and beans some weeks, I tell you. =) But we really want to buy a house in the next 18 months.
