Today was Cecilia’s husband’s funeral. The woman looked fairly destroyed. After all, they had dated in High School and married almost immediately thereafter. They had been married over 40 ye...


1400 I’ve spent the last hour updating GOOGLE CALENDARS (which Ran wants to use… which is a damn sight better than the NOTHING Boss used); and now (upon Ran’s request) am creating a White Board c...

290(1) in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017

0730 So badly want to sleep more. A significant portion of me wants to call in sick to work just so I can get another 4 to 6 hours of sleep. :( Of course… that could be the Fibromyalgia… the lac...


So… yeah. The internet in my home is fucked. Like… we have the best we can get for our area… but it isn’t what I would call stupendous. More stupid. So… again… I am 3 full pages behind in boo...


Not sure which book to put this in but.... “Huge” Ice Storm incoming… so we’ll see what happens. But I’ve been reading a lot today (not Prosebox and not Cases… sometimes I just need to… read. ...


0932 I missed my alarm today… which is strange. I woke up at 8:30 a.m. Good to get the extra sleep but it looks bad when I live closest to the office and I’m the last person there. When I got ...

Well… a work day. A work day that… already feels a bit strange. 09:34 I forgot to call back Ranting&Sobbing yesterday. As little as I want to, I did say I’d call her back… so I should call ...


I had a dream.... I was single and living in an apartment in Des Moines. Not a big one; but two bedrooms, a common area, and a kitchen. My room mate was Thompson (an ex gf) and she had taken th...

182 in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017

Written/Updated throughout the day. 10:00 a.m. I woke up this morning in excruciating pain. Simply moving my arms or my legs was more than I could coax out of myself. So, I hit the “fuck this” ...


The rest of the morning went rather well. Tackled the morning work with my usual apathetic “do your duty” work feel that gets me through the day around here. Even got several cases finished! T...


This weekend passed far too quickly and meant far too little. Friday night, around 10:00 p.m., Wife and I began the 3 hour drive to her parents. I was exhausted and in considerable pain by the e...


I tend to be too negative… about a lot of things. But one thing that has been consistent is my memory for numbers and names in my job. I can remember a person’s full name (first, second, third)...


Tonight we travel to Wife’s parents. It is good. We don’t see them often and it is important to make sure Wife reconnects with her parents every now and then. Certainly means I’ve driven a lot...


Before leaving work last night; Ran called me into his office. He was looking over some of Boss’ old files (old including things she’d filed December 2016) and wanted to let me know… we all had a...


Resolutions are common at the end of one year and beginning of another. But the word resolution is an interesting one. Resolute: admirably purposeful, determined, and unwavering. Resolve: decide...


New boss and transitions take up a lot of time. There are still 5 pages of Unread Bookmarks, and I’m only 50% done with my actual “New Year” entry! Plus… since we are spending so much time simp...

Horace in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017

“Begin, be bold, and endeavor to be wise!” - Horace First Prosebox of the New Year. And my bookmarks tab has 83 Unread Entries. Oh my. That should take… a considerable amount of time to catch ...


This shall be my last entry in this book. FLIGHT LOG 2016 will go to the archives (as did The Not So Daily Briefs 2014 and The Fifteenth Year of the Third Millennium of the Common Era 2015). P...


Perhaps because Wife has been binge watching Sliders but something odd struck me this morning that I wish to share. I woke up to my alarm and shuffled into the bathroom. I ran a comb through my ...


I think I can comfortably say I have no interest in working today. And I think about that and I come to an interesting realization. If a company is worthwhile, I’ll bust my ass for it. If my c...

Brief in BookThree: Flight Log 2016

I can’t imagine this will take long. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> One of the jokes that Wife and I have been making this last ...


Instantly want to tell you about my dream (though it is slipping from my conscious mind already.) But first.... So yesterday, I was the first person to the office. Arrived before 8 a.m. 8 a.m. ...


2016: The year almost everyone I know said What was your biggest life lesson this year and what did you learn? I learned, and am still learning, a great deal about myself as a person. I’m lea...

vrátit se in BookThree: Flight Log 2016

My latest entry was five days ago… at which point I was genuinely wrestling with a difficult question. I’m still wrestling with that question; but I’m coming to terms both with that struggle and...


Today; I have specific goals that I will accomplish before end of day. (1) HA Paperwork (2) LM Paperwork (3) JD Paperwork (4) NF Paperwork (5) Catch up on PB (6) Oil Change Phone Call (7) Mental ...
