First Snow


Blog

The work day goes by a lot faster when you show up late. We had our first snow of the season last night, and while it was only a few inches, I ended up being 45 minutes late to work. I didn’t realize it would slow me down as much as it did. Everyone in […]

My Dream Job


Blog

You know how many times someone has asked me what my dream job would be and I’ve told them only to see the surprise on their face. Those people must not really know. What do you think my dream job would be? A writer? A stay-at-home dad? A project manager at a small translation agency […]

Sir Paul McCartney Came to Milwaukee


Blog

You know it’s a good day when you go into work and you’re planning on buying a few tickets to see a legendary singer in the flesh and you leave work not having bought the tickets but still getting to see the concert. For me, this happened a few months ago. I was planning on […]

Friday’s Lunch


Blog

Earlier this week, my boss sent out an email instructing us to not bring a lunch on Friday. We’ve discussed the possibility of this being a cruel joke where no one has lunch from Friday but we’re thinking pizza.

The Long Project


Blog

At work, I’ve been working on the same project since January. It’ll probably be the highest billed project of the year. For someone who’s still learning things, it’s been a bit of a challenge but a great teacher as I’ve had to dip my hand into a little of everything. I’ll be the first to […]

AWOL No More


Blog

I’ve been on hiatus. I’m back now, hopefully more regularly than the past six months. I know I did some writing here and there, and there would be spurts where I’d post a bunch every couple of days, but that’s not what I want. I want to write daily. Those every couple of day posts […]

March Updates


Blog

I’ve been too busy lately. A lot of time was taken up by my grandma’s last few weeks. We had an unusual amount of family visiting to say their goodbyes and that kind of thing really keeps you busy. It’s not something I recommend for any of you. Work has also been keeping me busy. […]

Travelling Friend, Almost


Blog

A few weeks back, I was excited for Lyuda. She messaged me to let me know that a family living in Chicago had contacted her about an au pair job. For those of you who don’t know, an au pair is typically a young woman who lives in a home and raises the children. For some […]

January, What Happened?


Blog, Motorcycles

January has been busy to the point where even when I have time to write, I don’t because I’m exhausted. Work, and commuting to and from work each day, really takes a lot out of me. There’s not much else to say in that area except I can describe my job by quoting Tom Smykowski […]

Saving Money


Blog

Thursdays at work and I don’t seem to get along. Two Thursdays ago, the computer didn’t want to cooperate with me. I couldn’t get any of my work done and it was really frustrating because I knew I was going to fall behind on things. I went home early, not because of the computer but […]
