I received an email from my boss today commenting on the size of one of the executives screenshots. I was taken aback. Floored. Here is a man, a professional, talking to one of his subordinates about the size of his superior’s screenshots like it’s not a thing. Even if you take the gender dynamics out … Continue reading Size Doesn’t Matter: Discussing Sensitive Issues in the Workplace

Retail Therapy for Temporary Agoraphobes
As I shifted from the desk I set up in my kitchen to the couch fifteen feet away after I finished work today, I was struck by how I hadn’t stimulated the economy yet today. Hadn’t stimulated anything really. So I sat down on my couch and thought of all the things I “need” in … Continue reading Retail Therapy for Temporary Agoraphobes
Things It’s Okay to Cry About In Isolation
In real life, I’m a stone cold emotionally constipated bitch. This is a fact that I’ve known for a long time and sadly I haven’t the wherewithal nor the disposable income to fix this (thanks Sallie Mae). We’re in unprecedented times, which I think, given what I’ve seen in the traditional and social medias, is … Continue reading Things It’s Okay to Cry About In Isolation
Still alone: What Happens After a Two Week Quarantine
My two weeks have come and gone. Some dude name James is bringing me groceries tonight, my 16th night of my 16th day with no real human contact. Don’t worry, because I was sick during the panic buying that probably infected you with the same chest cracking disease, I will run out of toilet paper … Continue reading Still alone: What Happens After a Two Week Quarantine
Good Touch, Bad Touch because You Need Another Post about COVID-19
Just to keep tabs: home alone for 8 days now, 3 days working from home, 17 hours since my last fever disappeared, 5 potatoes roasted, 2 cups of coffee (since I’ve been confined, not today, I’m not a barista). Now that you know that I have reached the end of my rope, I thought I’d … Continue reading Good Touch, Bad Touch because You Need Another Post about COVID-19
Never Play Second Fiddle: a Guide to Living a Music Based Life

Solo Travel for the Anxiety Ridden Human
So you planned a trip with your handy-dandy travel buddy. It's going to be fucking phenomenal. It's booked. It's paid for. It's kind of planned. Then your travel buddy is rude enough to have a family emergency/die/breakup with you. You could be fucked. Or you could grab your balls, pull up your big-girl panties, or … Continue reading Solo Travel for the Anxiety Ridden Human
Big Girls Don’t Cry
I'm jump starting 2019 by taking a month or two to focus on eating the way my body needs me to. It's a diet, and also not a diet, I don't count calories, I don't worry about serving sizes, I don't obsessively fast, though I have been known to occasionally fast out of sheer laziness. … Continue reading Big Girls Don’t Cry
On Condoms
Dating can be rough, you have to worry about married men*, date rape (do they call it that these days? I'm getting old and am not keeping up with the terminology), and murder, successful or otherwise. There are also general freaks and weirdos to watch out for. Once you meet a nice person who buys … Continue reading On Condoms
