“The apocalypse won’t be all that bad,” Bible scholar Parker Creaston told the Weekly World News. There’ll be a “brief period of mild to moderate disorder,” after which will come an extended period of “worldwide peace and harmony.” Similarly, Libra, your fear of impending chaos in your personal sphere will turn out to be overblown.

I had hoped that there would be several degrees of separation between JM and me, but alas, that is not the case! We are separated by ONE, just ONE! He came out to Christopher’s birthday party on Saturday at Lucky 13, and it turned out that he was an acquaintance of one of my friends. [...]
The week seemed to pass by quickly. However, during each individual day, classes seemed to last way too long. It’s already Friday. Hooray. Next year’s training will be manager level training. I’m not sure if I will be promoted since I have not passed my exams… I’m also uncertain whether I will last the entire [...]
It appears that with each year’s training, the more people attending are married and/or expecting to get married. There are fewer from my own office, but in other offices, it’s very common. So each year, it feels like we’re mellowing out. Not as many attend the “Hospitality” nights. My roommate this year is a gal [...]
I’m not leaving, but it appears that a lot of people from work are. Left and right, people are either taking on new jobs, or they have been asked to leave. Such a sad realization that it’s finally that time. In my industry, the turnover is high. It is expected that more than 50% of [...]
I have been working out of coffee shops for the last few weeks, off and on. I think they are ruining my perspective on work. I guess I’d like to someday find a job that I can telecommute from. That would be lovely. Some day. Not today.
We went to a house party the other night. The guy throwing the party rolls around in $$ at the age of just 27. He owns his own business, and it is all well-deserved. Apparently, he decided to go into consulting one day, offering to work for free when they laughed at him for not [...]
I look absolutely ridiculous on my way to work these days. I have waaay too many things to carry. Taking public transportation does not help. So this morning, I tried to consolidate and put everything into a rolling piece of luggage. It’s quite funny to see the reaction of people when I pull out three [...]
Wow, I am still at work. It’s supposed to be the summer months, and hours are not supposed to be this long. I met up with my adviser today, and he tells me that I look a bit different from the last few times we’d met up before. Of course, this would be ages ago [...]
There seems to be a lot going on, but at the same time, I feel like nothing is that important to write about. I’m near the end of my first set of review courses. These past few weeks, I’ve managed to get some studying done, but not enough. My plan for the next two weeks [...]
