Dear Friends,
Over the time that I have been blogging, I have made some incredible strides.  When I first opened my old Blogger account I was very shy, I had little self esteem and had no clue what I wanted out of life.  The things I did like, I had forced myself to suppress.
I won’t say [...]

The Girl’s Guide to the Internet

As a woman, I often times feel that my internet experience is some what, stifled. I seem to visit the same websites over and over again, not just because I like them…but because I feel safe visiting them. A typical internet visit for me might be…check my email, glance over the latest news [...]

Heads or Tails: Train

Up until I was an adult, I did not do much traveling by train.  There was no passenger train that traveled through the city I lived in and when my family traveled we drove.
Right out of high school, my friends and I decided to travel to New York City.  Our plan was to drive up [...]

black cloud

For the last several weeks, I have been feeling blah.
I had trouble putting my finger on it, mainly because I had a lot of stuff going on with work and at home.  I figured that my feelings were just circumstantial and when things calmed down I could pick myself up again.
However, I’m afraid that that’s [...]

State Inspections

Our yearly state inspection is coming up at work.  Surprisingly the stress of it hasn’t yet hit us, but I’m sure it will very soon.  I hate this time of year, as work is in total chaos.  I really h0pe I don’t work the night before the inspection…especially not a double shift.  Last year I [...]

It’s Raining, It’s Pouring

It started pouring down rain not too long ago.  It was expected, but I was hoping it would hold off…I really wanted to walk to the library.  Guess I will hold off on the library trip until next week.
I haven’t written anything at all since last week.   Likewise, I haven’t studied for my GRE’s [...]

Guess a break isn’t in the cards

As much as I like my coworkers…I really don’t want to be stuck with them all on what should be my days off work.  But this week, that seems to be the case over and over again.
Today we had a training…I really didn’t mind it too much as I was the one who put the [...]

Yes, I am that good

I managed to fix my laptop by myself…well, rather I ended up just reformatting everything.  It was pretty challenging as I kept having to look up stuff on the Dell website from the desktop, and updating drivers and this that and the other thing.  But eventually I got everything set up.  The hardest part was [...]

More technology problems

My iPod is already giving me a headache, the first time I plugged it into the computer to sync with iTunes it was all good, and ever since then whenever I’ve attempted to plug it in, either it does not sync, does not register at all with iTunes.  I called tech support and evidently there’s [...]
