What didn’t kill me didn’t make me stronger.
It gave me crippling anxiety, a lot of unhealthy coping mechanisms, some really nasty nightmares, the ability to drink enough caffeine to kill a horse, and made me into a cynic who cusses way more than necessary.

I hide behind sarcasm because my inner monologue is a bit too brutally honest for polite society.

Me: 4 monitors?
Boss: Yeah, you’re going to need them.
Me: Why?
Boss: This will be abundantly clear in the very near future.
Me: I know I’m handling all of the IT and the admin half of the marketing, but damn.

Yesterday started out great and then took a turn. I love my new job, however, about 3 hours into my day, my mom called. I almost didn’t answer, but I had a free minute. She told me that my sister passed in her sleep. We weren’t close, she was my half-sister, but we were getting closer. She was 62.

When you get a call from your former employer asking if you can come up to the office because nobody knows what they’re doing…
I gave you almost 3 weeks notice. You took it for granted. I’m not your slave anymore, so fuck you, pay me. My consulting fee is $100 an hour, 2 hour minimum. Otherwise…

So, I’ve been looking to change careers and got a call for an interview.
Things must have really changed because every interview I’ve ever gone to has been in an office. This one, she said the CEO wants to meet me, so I’m meeting them for coffee at some bougie coffee place in the morning 🤣

The amount of people who are absolutely giddy at the prospect of the President turning the US Military on US citizens is appalling.
This is not the United States I served. Not at all.

At 16 weeks old he can jump from the floor OVER the back of the couch without touching it.

Lord give me strength.

I am a descendant of a Founding Father, a Daughter of the American Revolution, a US Navy Veteran, and the first woman in my family to serve.
Some call me honorable or patriotic.
Trump calls me scum and an enemy of the people because my loyalty lies with this country and her people, not with him.

No, I haven’t noticed a difference really. It’s still a pain in the ass to get an appointment if you need to be seen quickly. Still have to wait for specialist appointments, etc. Nothing has really changed as far as my experience goes.

My sister and I (both raised Catholic) are going straight to hell.
She sent me this and asked if I wanted some Christ Krispy treats to mourn the Pope’s passing.
I laughed, and now I have an image of my dad in heaven profusely apologizing to Jesus for his daughters’ behavior🤦🏻♀️
