Wednesday Ramblings

I’ve been at my new job a month and was going to write a post about that. But I don’t feel like it. So I am going to ramble, and some of it will be about my new job, but some of it might be about clouds.

I need a new mattress. But am a bit […]

Sterkworks Review of LDS (Mormon) Conference

My first ever review of LDS conference and I am excited. Now before you get your hopes up, I didn’t watch Mormon conference. I just go to mom and dad’s house from noon until 2pm between the morning and afternoon sessions because they serve free sandwiches. And it is one of the few times the […]

The Mormon Church Makes Me Laugh

Earlier this week the Mormon Church posted its position on new alcohol laws in Utah. Yes, they run the state and whatever the Mormon Church says, goes.
I am laughing because in the very last paragraph of this statement, one reads
The Church of Jesus […]

I Am Dexter

Except for killing people, I have turned into Dexter. I walk amongst the Mormons and fit in. I don’t swear. I don’t call bullshit when someone glows over John McCain or Sarah Palin. I laugh at the Mormon jokes with which the CEO starts her meetings.
While others in the office have their headphones on listening […]

As American As Apple Enema Pie

Maybe it was because today I found out I have to make a trip to San Francisco in two weeks, maybe because […]

I Fired You, Deseret Book

Multiple times since the holidays I have politely hit the unsubscribe button at the bottom of each and every Deseret Book email spam message. But those […]

I Ache All Over

Probably the most difficult thing about the first day on a new job is all of the physical aches and pains. New chair. New desk. New phone. New computer. And all of these items makes one’s body and joints move just slightly different than they are used to.
I got the hour tour and introductions, then […]

Back in the Closet Again

I start a new job on Monday, so I’m heading back in the closet. Kind of. If someone approaches me and asks me if I am a lesbian, of course I will be honest and respond as I did to a female coworker a few years ago, “Would you like to find out?”
In my opinion, […]
