I work in a banking call center doing backend stuff that makes the call center run, which is a difficult and stressful job, but after graduating college in a recession I’m happy to have put together something of a career. Most of my job revolves around making sure our employees aren’t doing things that are going to…

That’s a cute dog and a cute pillow. 

This is my perpetually grumpy Boston terrier, Spunkie. Despite her grumpy demeanor I love her more than life. She’ll be 11 next Saturday but still lives up to her name most days. She’s a little under the weather today, hopefully nothing major.

In my case my astigmatism in my left eye was so bad compared to my right that wearing glasses caused migraines. My eye doctor explained it like “your glasses makes your eyes see things at different sizes with each eye and your brain can put those together.” So for some people contacts are a better choice.…

I’m on the last episode. It took me a while to get hooked but I binged most of it this weekend. I’m a business school drop out and work for a giant corporation and the ridiculousness of these characters makes me laugh. It’s not quite comedy, not quite drama. So many dark, anti hero shows make you root for the villain…

I’m not a vegetarian but I don’t eat a ton of meat. Meat substitutes are not appetizing to me but I love cheese of any sort. I would have gotten into Indian food forever ago if someone would have told me their “meet substitute” is cheese. Paneer could have a much wider appeal than a traditional veggie burger. 

Wow all glamour shots really were all the same. That could be the exact description of mine. I just remembered that freaking feather boa and the creepy photographer and thinking “this does not feel right at all.” He didn’t do anything but it just wasn’t a good vibe and has never been a fun memory. When someone in my…

Sadly the sprinkles are an insidious lie.

She’s so cute! I went to the Cincinnati zoo a few weeks ago but she was hiding behind her mom so I could only get a peak of her back.

I’ve never been able to find a pair that worked for me. They seem more fashioned focused but I’ve never even found a cute pair in my size, 11, so maybe I’m just bitter. The only brand that seems to work for when for running is Asic. 

What amazes me is I sleep through the entire episode and couldn’t tell you a thing about it. I like that you can listen to the same episode a bunch of times. 

I thought the same thing, I get easily distracted. A few months ago though I started listening to podcasts in bed because I didn’t have as much time during the day and I found myself falling asleep so quickly I’d have to set the sleep timer so I didn’t sleep through a whole hour. Now I listen to the sleep me podcast…

I really prefer quite when I sleep. My neighbor has a million dogs and for a lot of reasons, mainly the safety of my own dogs, I can’t tell her to do something about it and the police don’t enforce noise ordinance on this side of town. Her house is feet from mine and it gets loud. I tried different noise machine apps…

A couple of years ago I moved to a new department at work that is full of women from 3rd level management down. It’s great. There are only 2 men on my team and one at each of our other sites and let me tell you those men are real fuck ups. It’s incredible they still have jobs. I’m thankful I have an understanding…

I saw her at a festival a couple of months ago and the crowd was huge for an afternoon set. She puts on a good show. 

Or we could take any hypothetical space force funding and dump it into NASA. There’s a real chance we could identify extra terrestrial life in the next half century either using the James Webb telescope to study the exo planets discovered using Kepler or by studying the oceans on Enceladus, Europa, and Mars. Not…

Exact same. Taco Bell and Papa Johns are the only quick service places within walking distance of my office so it’s been a guilty convenience of mine. I always work the hell out of their coupon system. Now I’m just going to stick with Taco Bell when I don’t pack my lunch. Hilariously I got a survey from a company they…

I lost 100lbs about 4 years ago. I’m so glad high waisted styles have come into fashion. I have a smaller waist but my thighs, hips, and butt are all larger thanks to my bicycle. High waisted just makes everything look a little smoother and it stays up better. Also shout out to American Eagle and Arie for having both…

People said the same thing when large parts of Tennessee burned right after the 2016 election because “they all voted for trump anyway.” We didn’t all vote for him, and even those who did do not deserve to literally die in a fire or lose everything. Although I will say I think in general most people don’t believe that…

I campaigned with DSA for a county commissioner election in a red state. I was assisting as a member of my county dem party We lost, no surprises,  but it wasn’t a landslide. Normally a democratic could expect to get 20% of the vote, we got 41%. They got that by knocking on doors, talking to people, and turning out…
