Most of my week’s been way too deeply invested in developing a couple of sales pitch decks for the C-suite pushing a new organizational scheme for requirements in the program management center…Well, I say “new”, when I really mean “a”, because currently, there really isn’t any rhyme or reason to things. My boss and our […]

The excessive life has slowed down somewhat, but I’ve still got way too many balls in the air, so to speak, and seriously don’t have the energy or free brain cycles to go on about it here. Once things settle a bit more? We’ll likely be back to our regularly scheduled web-hosted bitching. Suffice it […]

Still too much life; memos, insurance, horrific news (and our unfortunate numbness to it as a nation), insomnia, graduations and transitions, bizarre requests, and a whole bunch of rain. I’m exhausted. I fell asleep before 7pm last night watching the new Chip n’ Dale’s Rescue Rangers movies on the couch. Yeah. Here’s a list of […]

Too much life this week, friends. I’ve got nothin’. Here’s some music: “Madonna of the Wasps” – Robyn Hitchcock & The Egyptians “Try Me On…I’m Very You” – Deee-Lite “Head Over Heels (Dave Bascombe 7″ N.Mix)” – Tears for Fears “The New World” – X “The Hook” – Stephen Malkmus “Turtles Have Short Legs” – […]

Another week gone, spent, primarily, pushing five requirements packages over the line to get briefed and funded at work, clearing the decks so I can maybe have some time to work on all the evil overlord/”remake the agency” projects the bosses and I are hatching to hopefully improve things around here. That’s where my head’s […]

Hell of a week this was. Couple of twelve hour work days, sprained wrist, and cold-like symptoms the last several days, which have played hell with my anxiety, as I’ve been having dreams the early part of this week that I’d caught the ‘rona at RavenCon and that would sideline my plans to participate in […]

Been another week. Although I started strong with a fifty-miler on Sunday and a few smaller rides later on, I spent a lot of the week struggling through allergies and aches associated with some sort of bug the kid brought home from school. I’m largely past it, I think, but it wasn’t ideal; I was […]

It’s been pretty dull the last couple of weeks, if I’m being totally honest. It’s work, bike, eat, sleep, repeat…over and over. I really need some novelty. However, lacking anything novel, on Thursday afternoon, after spending way too many hours on meetings with briefings heavy on references to the U.S. Code and various federal policy, […]

Y’know, I really can’t remember a week where I was so exhausted both physically and mentally. Once again, work had me earning my raise with some long days and excessive mental processing, and given the gorgeous weather we’ve had around these parts this week, I rode off the mental by putting over 70 miles (so […]

Long week where I didn’t get nearly as much done as I’d wanted to, due to many factors, including spring break absences at work, thunderstorm and tornado warnings, and some biological events you really don’t want the details of, but kept me within spitting distance of a restroom most of the week. Ew. Got a […]
