Friday Five: How?

21 Nov

Pushing me ever closer to my goal of 30 blog posts in 30 days, it’s the Friday Five!


1. How’s your health?

Fantastic. I’m blessed. The worst I’m dealing with is chapped lips. Three days of real winter weather and they’re chapped already. Where’s my Blistex?

2. How was your day?
It’s 8am, so I don’t know. But I’ll predict it. I’ll make some coffee and head to work. There, I’ll sit there torturing myself with thoughts like, “Hey, this is the last Friday that some of these people will be here!” and “Oh sweet mother of GOD I KNOW they know who they’re laying off…why not do it right now?” Phones will ring all day and sales reps will holler at each other over my head, which will make it difficult to do my job. There will be good times, too. Like helping readers navigate the site and laughing with CoWorker S over various events of the day. Tonight I’ll get home, have some dinner, and collapse in front of the computer, where I’ll play a bit of World of Warcraft before bed. With any luck, I’ll be awake enough to cuddle with WM.

3. How’s the weather?
Cold and gray with millions of tiny snowflakes falling.

4. How do you expect to get anywhere in life with an attitude like that?
I know, I know…I’m sorry. It’s just…our industry is at trouble. And there is one department who can try to turn it around. But it doesn’t even look like they try anymore. It’s really really frustrating. Add to that my worrying about people I know who are in job trouble too, and you have my attitude. Frustrated.

5. How many people made you smile today?
WM leaves for work before my facial muscles start moving. I’m going to predict 12 people today.

Come on, that’s your cue, world! Make me smile!

Happy birthday to my 2 cousins, one on each side of my family!

    Just saw on Twitter that you freelance. What kind of writing (saw the Post link, but unsure what section you write for)? I freelance for a local parenting mag. Just curious.

    Welcome, ‘Ailina! I do freelance web work. Not even web design at the moment, just web coding for people who get stuck!
