A Love Letter

In high school, I had a friend who had a crush on a football player.  I'd sit and hear her gush with the rest of our friends about how she had a crush on this guy.  She was writing him love letters that were anonymous and they were really gross.  When I read them I thought this sounds pornographic.  I don't think a teen guy would be offended by some of this stuff, but this was not attention getting.  I offered to help her write letters.   No offense to my friend Cheryl, I knew that this football player was above her.  We were in the dipshit crowd.  Everyone was above us but I wanted her to catch his attention with words, even if he wouldn't look at her because he was too busy looking at the cheerleaders.   I used my writer skills and wrote the letters.  The first one was a hit.  Initially he kind of blew them off and I think he was throwing them in the trash.  Not mine!  One of our friends was showing his friends...

Feeling Lighter

I felt lighter yesterday and maybe I shouldn't.  No lurker online yesterday.  I felt hopeful yesterday about the situation.  It's been so unbearable busy but I felt lighter.  I felt kind of silly.  I liked the idea of her being out of my life forever.  I like the fact that something was done about a bully. I was excited when the lurker started and about their experience.  Being in our new world, I met new people online who were helpful and kind, unlike Frick and Frack.  It seemed like maybe this was a better environment for me emotionally and it was.  There was one person who was problematic.  Little did I realize she'd get a friend in the lurker.  Tara the troll is a whole other blog post. I thought the lurker would have been a great person to work with. I had the years of experience. She had the knowledge for this particular area.  I didn't realize I'd be bullied and belittled in this subtle manner that made it seem like I wa...

Anxious Friday

I got up around 4 and felt anxious to fall back asleep. I normally get up around 5 ish.  It depends on my energy.  I figure it's better 5 than 6 because if I keep going back to sleep it'll turn into 7.  I did wake up a little bit before 6. I kind of feel like there's something going on with the lurker and I am anxious about it.  Curious.  She seems to have like 250 lives.  There was a cryptic message to all of us about sending work information to our personal emails.  Why would I want to have nightmares?  I was puzzled but when we signed off, the lights came on. There was an incident that the diva told me about involving the lurker and sending work information to her personal information.  Did she do it again?  It wouldn't shock me if she did.  It also wouldn't shock me if she was online this morning.  When I heard the word termination, my mind ran to a joyful possibility.  Like I said, the lurker has 250 lives.  Some...

Worthy of Love

What a strange day it was in the news, watching Pam Bondi with her burn book.  It just made me think of high school.  Well, maybe life itself.  If you point out something a person did wrong, they come back with an insult that doesn't make any sense.   James Van Der Beek died from cancer.  I thought he was doing ok.  I watched Dawson's Creek when it came on.  It was a teen show but I liked it even in my 30s.  The fact that he was 48 is a hard thing to take.  I found out at the age of 46 and I wondered if I was going to be here at 56.  Well made it to 57 so I guess I'm ok.  I thought at the time, I'm supposed to worry about this when I'm older.  I wasn't young but I was in that age group where it just seemed not the right time. I know.  Younger people have gotten cancer and died.  I am one of the lucky ones.  I felt bad seeing that he was selling his stuff from Dawson's creek.  I know the feeling selling ...

In the Neighborhood for the Post office

My mom finally got her Homestead paperwork straightened out. I offered to take it over to the West Milwaukee post office this week and she said it could wait until Saturday morning.  I said you want me to go to the Shorewood post office and she said yes. I guess that really is becoming my new hang out.  That's pathetic. I have become extra superstitious of our mail service since our check got stolen.  It's not the first incident involving mail.  I had my state income tax get lost in the mail and I mailed it right in front of our post office.  I have had other items lost over the years and I had enough.  I don't even want to mail an eBay package there.   I always seem to get a crappy attitude when I've asked about postcard stamps.  No, we don't sell them.  They're not making them anymore.  YES THEY ARE!!!  WTF?  I've had enough of their clerks bitching at me when I have asked for them.   West Milwaukee has been ok...

Dragging Through the Week

I went for a short walk to the store tonight.  I forgot one thing so I had sunlight or fading sunlight on my side tonight.  Nice to get fresh air. Have I said that I am anxious for daylight savings because I am. I will be able to get a jump on my day once daylight kicks in. I deal with an area that doesn't do daylight savings.  Smart people.  It helps me get ahead of things because others aren't online until later in the morning so it helps.   No sign of the lurker but we did have help and a reassurance. I'll take it.  Still pissed off at the diva but it's not the distraction it was on Monday.  I'm not really sure what's going on with the lurker but I was ok with her being gone another day. We had the hearings on with Pam Bondi.  Wow.  What a bitch. I muted her a few times when my mom was at the food pantry. I only watched the exchange she had with Dan Goldman.  And what do you know, Jasmine Crocket was going at her when I had to pi...

Mid Week Daze

I didn't realize I had a text from my sister.  From Monday.  I'm in some brain fog this week.  I apologized and said well, feel like I'm in a fog.  She had pictures of Charlotte at the place they went to this weekend.  I could have paid closer attention and it might have lifted my bad mood on Monday. I'm ok today.  I am hoping I don't get reminded of what set me off in the bad mood later today when I have my monthly check in.  Oh, yay, the lurker returns.  I don't mean to be dismissive of her needing time off for as much as she had, but I wonder how honest are they being?  After working with Frick and knowing her tricks, I'm skeptical of someone like the lurker.  Maybe her and the diva can plot to find more of my mistakes.   I drove by a food truck this past Sunday with my mom to see what it was about.  Whatever it was, it must have been a big crowd because they were packing up.  My mom joked maybe I could stand in li...
