I’m wound up tighter than the San Andreas fault. 1. Have a project I must get done before I go home (11 days!). But folks on top of the food chains seem to have a different idea. So, out the window with my supposed priority number one. Oh yeah, then there’s the big melt down of the chain of command today that frustrated almost everyone involved. Just been a long and crazy day. 2. Must also finish most of Shane’s webpage before I leave at the least. He already paid for it. 3. Still no prospect for an apartment to...

My company has a meeting for our board members monthly in the very early morning. We serve up continental breakfast. After the meeting, we usually packed up any leftover pastries and fruit back to feed the people in the office. This morning, though, Tiffany, the Big Boss’ assistant, was determined to do a real good deed and give the lefovers to the bums instead. The place we hold them is only a block from our office. So here we were, marching down the block with all of our stuff from the meeting in carts and Tiffany leading the way with...

A few laugh out loud conversations we had this weekend that had me screaming, “I’ve GOT to blog this one!” First, Saturday night. We went to dinner with Brandon’s best friend Justin and his wife Olaina at a sushi joint in San Diego. Both B and I are on County holiday schedule (and yes I’m enjoying my day off) so we were talking about the joy of having all these holidays off. Brandon started his rant, “At some point, the County was talking about taking some of these holidays away. Man, you should’ve seen the reactions from some of the...

De-lurking alert! So you’ve been lurking around my blog for a while but never show yourself. Today’s the day! Leave your mark by posting a comment, sharing your Friday 13th horror story. Here’s mine. We suspected that the apartment maintenance guy stole our cash. Wednesday night was the last time we both touched our cash depository. There was quite a bit of money left in it. Thursday evening, Brandon came home to find the security door unlocked. So he checked with management and yes indeed they had sent up the maintenance guy to fix the problem Brandon had requested during...

USC loses both Thunder (LenDale White) and Lighting (Reggie Bush) to the NFL. It’s going to be a hell of a football year for the Trojans next year. Also quiet in the apartment hunting. We scouted out the neighborhood we like tonight in Los Alamitos, and it’s all quiet with ample street parking. We like that. Just didn’t see any “For Rent” sign posted out front though. I have a feeling we’re heading toward the next town, Cypress…...

My worst fear was confirmed. Mom’s metastatic lung cancer has reached her brain. 2 lesions and a possible tumor. It drives me CRAZY how they didn’t put her on chemo or radiation the first time around. Even worse, when they found the one in her liver, they dragged her on without putting her on chemo right away. From my research, I told my dad to make damn sure they scan her brain. They weren’t going to do it but the US doctor they’re working with made them do so yesterday. Not to put down the whole doctor profession of Thailand,...
