I just got a FB message about our 10 year HS reunion coming up
I feel old. And a little like this:
-
Tanner passed away today. My mom asked me to find any photos I had of him, so I diligently looked through all my pics from the past few years. I...

So here it is. Me, at thirty.
Not necessarily the most flattering picture of myself, but oh so very happy.

THIS DAY
Me too, PostSecret.
Idris Elba, winner of the Best Performance by an Actor in a Mini-Series or a Motion Picture Made for Television for Luther, poses for a portrait backstage at the 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards on January 15, 2012.
I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK WITH WHOEVER BAKED THIS GIANT CAKE YOU SLEEP ON.
NOT ONLY WAS IT TOTALLY LACKING IN FLAVOR, THE BATTER WAS FULL OF SOME RATHER LARGE LUMPS. IT WAS JUST A COMPLETE DISAPPOINTMENT.
Color Pantone of the Year: Tangerine Tango
I love this color! /dead
Looks like UT(ennessee) orange to me. Love it!
I’ve recently added a lot of orange to my life due to the job change. I especially need the satchel.
I can wear jeans whenever I damn well please. My last job only had one casual day a month. This is glorious.
I was at my previous position for four years. Four long years that included three years of tentative job searching. I’m now in a part of the non-profit field that I want to be in and I can actually see a future in it. This past year has been an excellent one for me and I felt like the only thing that was really missing was a career that I enjoyed. I feel so fortunate and want to thank everyone who was so supportive to me during my search. Love you all.
Now a little pro con pro between my last job and this one:
Pro: There are young people in this office! People I would be friends with. For someone who has had virtually no work friends in four years this is a big deal. I can go to lunch with people!
Con: Pay cut that was inevitable with any job change. Oof.
Pro: Proximity and time. My commute has gone from an hour a day to 20 minutes and I work 7 hours instead of 8. I got home today and it was still light out.
Con: A huge bump in responsibility and work load. Ok, this isn’t really a con because finally I have something to do at work.
Pro: I get my very own office for the first time.
Con: I am expected to do some cutesy decorating job on this office. I don’t do cutesy decorating. I didn’t have a single picture at my last office. The only things I needed to take with me on my last day were a mug and ear buds. Also, it seems that everyone used the empty room as an opportunity to ditch their filing cabinets before I arrived. What the hell am I to do with all of them?
Pro: I’m so happy. Bursting with happy. This is unlike me, but I’m enjoying it.
My boyfriend is pretty damn perfect.
I just looked through the photos from New Years and this one made me happy.
Matt Romney says his dad Mitt will release his tax returns “as soon as” President Obama releases his birth certificate. Guess he hasn’t seen our mugs?
This is even better than the previously mentioned Biden koozie.
Update: Purchased
I admit that I’m a harsh judge of behavior. I hold myself and the people I know to a high standard. But, I also tend to quickly get over things. Except one thing:
Do not tell me you will do something and then not follow through.
I do not tolerate flakes and I will never understand people who don’t value their word. If I make a commitment I will go out of my way to honor it. I will not flake out on you unless there are extraordinary circumstances involved. That is all.
This post brought to you by the fact that I said I would go to the meetup tonight but can’t drag my sick ass out of bed and I feel really guilty about it.
