I suppose you could consider “today” started before I even went to bed. Around midnight, I got an e-mail from Pedro that was addressed to me and the boss. Power went out in the Law Library. So...

---

I am not a fan of today! Last night, my left leg was absolutely killing me. Pain so much I couldn’t sleep. I drifted off around 6 am this morning. My dreams were cool, though. Attending a su...

---

So… this will piss people off; but when I saw it… I laughed. I know it isn’t the same thing… Oscars are supposed to be for all races, BET not so much. But… I still find this funny. I do try to...

---

HA! not sure if this is awesome or Fate telling me to ‘poke the bear’. A friend of mine said he can make a single phone call and get me an interview for an Assistant County Attorney position in ...

---

I need to shake myself loose. I need to push myself and expect that I (and I alone) will make things happen. Tonight: I shall leave work, having done little. I will get my Rx cream from Wal G...

---

Well, today. Hrm. Last week, I sent an e-mail to my boss telling him that I had job interviews on Friday of last week, Monday of this week, and would not be in on Wednesday for personal reasons ...

---

Of course, I can’t talk to wife about work or interviews or anything. It is funny… I talk to my parents about working in the jail… they immediately focus on the dangerous lack of security and en...

---

Started the day off with a de-snowing of my car and Wife’s car. Then off to a dermatology appointment. Here’s a new twist… is anyone else really self-conscious the first time they have to take ...

---

Writing because for the first time this year, I failed to do a Daily Entry. Well… that was yesterday but I still wasn’t planning on one today… so does that make it two? Yesterday was another LON...

---

Hopefully… today isn’t a wasted day. Things to do, and all that but waiting on others to make sure they can get done. First, easy, empty the dishwasher. THAT doesn’t require any patience at all...

---

I may, in fact, be a little slow on the uptake. Lord knows that was always true of my interactions with girls. But now it seems it may apply to my work, as well. Reviewing my work e-mails tod...

---

You’d think I should be a little smarter. My wife bought something to help with the snoring… an oral piece that resembles a complicated mouth guard. She wanted me to try it last night. Of cours...

---

Alan Rickman dead at 69 after battle with cancer. David Bowie dead at 69 after battle with cancer. Cancer sucks, y’all! In other shitty news… I had my recurring dream that I was a telemarketer ag...

---

Work Style Conundrums.... when I woke up this morning… I was super tired. So I thought about it and decided… if my department’s budget crazy lady is going to freak out at labor expenses… I’ll ju...

---

Oh… work. Got into the office today… Budget Bitch is freaking out again. HOW can our department keep spending money?! Uhm… labor. When you have employees… that is kind of a repeated expense. ...

---

Dude… seriously… I sometimes think my wife is right. She hasn’t said it in a while (thank God, or I’d be royally fucking messed up) but… yeah… if “gender roles, stereotypes, and bullshit” matter...

---

Does anyone remember my VERY FIRST interview after passing the bar? Allllll the way back in May of 2015? It was with Blackhawk County. The county where I went to college, met my wife. The cou...

---

Much to my dismay; I have become a pretty miserable guy. Even saying that: yesterday was a pretty miserable day. Wife and I certainly have issues, this is no surprise at all… but this constant e...

---

I know it is wrong, I know it is inappropriate but sometimes with my wife I can’t help thinking.... “That ADHD bitch!” My absolute favorite anime of ALL TIME is “Steins Gate.” I am super obsess...

---

After getting more “No, we won’t hire you” letters… and seeing no more job openings… it is hard to fight the crippling negativity in myself. These are the times I certainly wish I was home. My ...

---

What is worse than the humorous not serious bad news of not winning the lottery? The serious bad news that the jobs I’ve interviewed for have all now officially rejected me. WHAT THE FUCK?! ...

---

So far so good! Exercise and a new humidifier by the bed seem to have helped the snoring somewhat… allegedly. Wife said that I actually had “cute little soft snores” through most of the night. ...

---

Yes. I’m writing again. I’ve been waiting on the same Mod for 3 hours. My predecessor suggests I should just roll with it. I can’t call any other Mods because I’m officially waiting for one t...

---

I’ve been writing a lot today. That’s what happens when I’m expected to do a 12 hour (straight) day in the Law Library. It certainly doesn’t help that the COs aren’t bringing the MoDs I call. ...

---

Looking over websites titled “How to work your career” and “Jump starting your career path” and “Getting the job that is right for you!” Actually makes me feel worse. Because all of them start...
