In a previous post, I mentioned that Mayor DeBlasio had instructed the NYPD to arrest anyone not complying with the quarantine. Behold the chaos that has resulted: https://www.facebook.com/NowThisPolitics/posts/3699485823416214 I live outside of NYC, and out here in the suburbs, we're not subject to such draconian measures by law enforcement. Instead of a … Continue reading Fight The Power
Trials and Tribulations
I feel like I'm living on a foreign planet. This so called corona virus running rampant, the demographic being quarantined, a huge rise in unemployment, and Anthony Fauchi spouting propaganda to the masses. I feel like we're living in a mirror universe where everything is the opposite of the norm. When will this end? The … Continue reading Trials and Tribulations
Get Up, Stand Up
It has been two weeks since I was furloughed, and I'm still waiting on unemployment to call me. I realise it will take time because the number of people filing seems to increase every week. I'm torn between wanting to wait it out versus looking for another job. I was thinking about signing up for … Continue reading Get Up, Stand Up
Furloughed
The call came in yesterday afternoon whilst I was home. I saw the number on my phone and I knew it was HR. I didn't want to answer because I thought it would be bad news. I was so right!! Due to the pandemic and declining revenue, I was informed that I was being furloughed. … Continue reading Furloughed
Wannabe Wizard of Wall Street
I recently started investing in stocks again. I have been interested in the stock market since the 1990's. I remember the days of reading the Wall Street Journal and Investor's Daily on my way to work, following the Dow Jones Industrial Average like a typical investor, even though I was making minimum wage at the … Continue reading Wannabe Wizard of Wall Street

Sometimes it helps when someone reminds me to be grateful for something, like … Continue reading Sanity In an Insane World
COVID-19: The Aftermath
I was not worried about this synthetic corona virus from China. Mom was upset, but I was telling mom not to worry about it. It felt weird that despite my anxieties, and being a chronic worrier, I was not feeling anxious about it. Life went on as usual. The first inkling of trouble was this … Continue reading COVID-19: The Aftermath
First Week On The New Job
My last day at work was bittersweet. The office had a small party in my honour. I was a bit teary because I got a few parting gifts. One was a picture of King Tut that was printed on real papyrus. I still hast not hung it up yet because I dost not want to … Continue reading First Week On The New Job
Salida
This past Friday was my last day at the old job. The office had a small going away party for me with cake and a few presents. It was bittersweet. I was in tears at one point. I did not think it would be this hard to leave. Everyone was so sweet and nice. Damnit! … Continue reading Salida
Soon To Be Free At Last
Those of you who have read my previous blogs know that I am unhappy at the current job, and I have been looking for another job for some time. I no longer feel comfortable there. At one point, I was being called into the supervisor's office and getting bawled out at least once a week … Continue reading Soon To Be Free At Last
