  • Work gets worse

    March 2012 Conflict resolution? So it has been almost three weeks since our conflict resolution meeting at For.Profit. Has anything changed? Well… We have moved our offices into a new building where we all have our own offices. Finally! An office of my own with a door I too can slam! calmly shut out the other people screaming office

  • Back to work drama

    February 2011 Conflict resolution and other bullshit So the For.Profit that I work for has had issues lately with our interoffice communication skills. In other words, an office of 5 strong women are having differences of opinion and butting heads. If this was an office of men, we would probably all go out drinking, get drunk

  • A quick interlude

    February 2012 And then there was sex… I seem to be a magnet for ‘first timers’ or virgins if you prefer. Lee, Curt and Steve were all virgins when we met. Lee and I learned together. Then Bob taught me wonderful things and I taught Curt and Steve. Curt perverted it with violence and anger. Steve

  • Husband #1

    January 2012 Husband #1 Steven B. Husband number 1. Biologic father of 2 of my kids. Musician. Idiot extraordinaire. We married young, I was 20 and he was 19. We were married for almost exactly 13 years. Through good times, bad times and worse times. Five affairs, that I know of ending with the final

  • Reflective

    The very end of December 2011 The New Year to come… I have a question about this time of year… Why is it that we choose to spend the beginning of a perfectly good year obsessing about all of our flaws and insecurities? Why is this encouraged to rabidly by Magazine, retailers and TV? Not to

  • December 2011 Baby steps are often backwards… Ok, so I stated I was moving on. Well, moving on doesn’t always mean going forward. Especially in my case, it often seems to mean going backwards. Or sideways. Anyways… I am thinking about Curt, again today. Or possibly I should say still thinking about. See, I thought

  • Moving on to the first husband

    Still November or December 2011 Moving right along So, continuing on with my saga… I started college all the way across the state. Studying music, like I had always planned to. Living in an apartment with my closest friends (and the other one, stupid bitch) and finding out what it is like to be young and

  • A quick break for work

    I believe I am still somewhere in the last two months of 2011. For Profit Social Work So, I think that it has pretty much been established that I am a Social Worker. I work for a For.Profit, unlike most SWs. Our company, For.Profit, expects each of its individual programs to make a profit of a

  • Break in the exes

    For Profit Social Work So, I think that it has pretty much been established that I am a Social Worker. I work for a For.Profit, unlike most SWs. Our company, For.Profit, expects each of its individual programs to make a profit of a minimum 4%  each and every month. However, we are also a Social.Services.Organization. I believe

  • Still pedaling through hell…

    Why I couldn’t leave Did I mention that Curt was a musician? A drummer to be exact. Did he have talent? Frankly, yes. He played with a band in town as both their drummer and one of the lead singers. My sister idolized him. Thus a large part of my problem. Lil sis is three years
