  1. A woman's Dilemma

    by , 10-30-2009 at 10:55 AM
    At least five years ago, I bought a lined, 3-piece suit that I thought was suitable business attire and would be good for wearing to job interviews. Today, I'm wearing that suit and I noticed
    1. It's tight across the shoulders and back and
    2. It needs to be dry cleaned.

    Thus, the dilemma:

    Should I have the suit dry cleaned or give it away?

    I note that I'm preparing to go to another city for a week and thus I'm looking into what to pack to take ...

  2. Fun!

    by , 10-29-2009 at 03:18 PM
    Last night's fencing was fun, followed by a lesson that reminded me both of how far I've come and how impossibly far I need to go if I want to achieve my goal of making the world team in 2012.

    I've probably said this before but it bears repeating:

    I am determined to set aside everything that has been drilled into me since childhood and engage in pure, selfish fun for no other reason than self-gratification.

    And phhhfffttttt! to anyone who disapproves.

  3. I am such a baby

    by , 10-28-2009 at 12:39 PM (Greybeard's Brain Blog)
    I know i have been a whiny baby. But now I have trouble driving so I am only driving around town. He!!, all three cars are in use so I can't get to one anyhow. I think I had a tia over the last couple of days and I was very weak on my right, Good thing I am left handed.

    I want to volunteer, but with no car that is kind of difficult and I am scared stiff about scaring the boys. To quote Michael Corleone, "this is not what I wanted."

    I don't want to have my head ...

  4. The joy of beating kids!

    by , 10-25-2009 at 06:48 PM
    I drove to Dayton today to fence the Wright Challenge at the WSU. Unfortuantely, only 5 of us were there rather than the expected 11 and thus there was one D whom I've lost to more times than I can count, one E, me, and two Us.

    Guess who was older than everyone's mother.

    My first bout was against a new fencer so I was pleased that I won 5-0 but figured it was just because he was new. Mr. New Fencer, however, had a good parry-with-opposition and defeated everyone except ...

  5. another update

    by , 10-25-2009 at 11:58 AM
    2009 has been a pretty crazy year. I'm on manager number 10 this year so far. Being October now that puts me at a new manager on average every month. My position now is as a mortgage processor.

    Job security is still pretty much zero, we're still in the holdings part that upper management talks about wanting to reduce or sell off whenever I read news articles about it.

    The hours are pretty bad still also. I'm pretty much stuck working 7 days a week now which prevents ...
