Color my life with the chaos of trouble.

Originally, I wanted to start this blog as a log of the daily unbelievably situations I always seem to come across, most of them hilarious, some of them sad. Sort of like a series of short stories. I have the blogger app on my iPhone, but as most touch screen users know, precise keystrokes on those things are an annoying impossibility.

For now this will be another portal for me to vent and rant. Eventually the rants will find a focus, that being the original goal of this blog.

So, today's thoughts: 10:30am, should be jogging, but am not. Also, not on the schedule today for work, but am showing up regardless because of some corporate regulation about maintaining a certain amount of shifts, even though "they" wouldn't allow me to pick up a shift officially on paper. We'll see how this goes.

And to finish, I easily forget about people. Give me a week or two and I'll forget what it was about you that made me laugh or smile. Just a statement of fact, not to be mean or crass.

this makes me smile. a lot.

It's that time of year.

It's that time of year again. That's right. The semester is over. Gone are the sleepless nights of memorizing chemical compositions and 2am caffeine overloads at your local 24 hour Starbucks. No longer will you need to sneak in naps on your lunch break at work.

I was alarmed to wake to a sky full of bright sunlight this morning. Surely I overslept because I either had a paper to finish or work to attend to. I must have slept through my alarm. I'm not used to seeing the sun out when I wake. But no. Nothing due today. No shift at work. Could it be? A day off? An honest to God day off? Yep.

Now. The question. What to do with all this free time?

"Why don't you start a blog?"

So I did.
