Aphorism
You know that old saying, “Work smarter, not harder”?
You ever use it on someone and then wonder why they looked pissed?
You just told them that they’re working stupid.
I hate my boss.

No News – So what else is new?
Spent most of the morning under general anesthesia while they explored the nether regions of my alimentary tract. What they found was exactly what they found last January – generalized mild to moderate inflamation, with no obvious cause. What I do know now: I have ascites (free fluid in my abdomen). So this recent weight…
Saga of the Missing 1099G
I never got my 1099 from the state for my unemployment from last year. I figured they didn’t technically have to be mailed until the last day of January, so I gave the statement until the end of the first week of February to arrive. It didn’t. I tried a couple of times last week…
Stupid Pet Owner Tricks
As regular readers are aware, my LGS, the former Kitten from Hell, has been dealing with some serious medical issues over the last couple of years, the most recent being diabetes. She had been well controlled with twice-daily shots of insulin, although recently her blood sugar numbers have been climbing into the high 200âs to…
Sick from Trick or Treating
Not me. The Kitten from Hell. She decided to go trick or treating in the apartment last night, after we retired. She found herself a nice, newly opened can of Pounce treats, knocked them off the top of the microwave, chewed the lid off, and ate the entire freaking can. Of course, she barfed the…

So greetings, one and all. Sorry I havenât been updating recently, but my right handâs been a little under the weather. The tendonitis has been getting progressively worse since it first cropped up in May, to the point where I was referred a hand surgeon, who evaluated it this morning. I have a brand new…
Day late, Dollars short
So here’s my March to date: Work. Ambivalence, thy name is employment. I hesitate to complain, because I’m grateful this place hired me, I’m grateful that I’ve got some sort of income, I’m grateful that my social horizons now extend beyond a husband and a handful of cats. But I look at life as I…
I empathize. My "boss" is pretty darned stupid, too. Probably the worst part is her blatant hyprocracy. That one is REALLY hard to take in silence. She spouts off about how "wonderful" Trump is and all sorts of Republican rhetoric ALL THE TIME. Then she demands that the rest of us NEVER discuss politics AT ALL. She stopped me from even saying that I grew up in a bi-partisan household last week! Just a year ago her husband’s life was saved when he had half his kidney removed because it had malignant tumors. He was STILL in the hospital (on Medicaid’s dime) when she voted a straight Republican ticket, all the way from Trump on down. And boy-oh-boy was she happy when her Medicare kicked in! Hypocrites are the WORST!
