There is this strange phenomenon on the Ranch that makes you feel like you’re always supposed to be doing something.

Not doing so well with the whole morning thing lately. I feel obscurely disappointed in myself, both that I can't manage to be a functional human being who wakes up on time for work, and that waking up on time for work (by my standards - I take a long time to get warmed up to the day) currently woul ...

My legs are all like "Agh, why were you walking all day instead of biking??" My feet are feeling fine - no blisters, not sore. This means that I bought the appropriate type and size of new sneakers. Hurray! So far, the new backpack is working well. The only problem is that it does not really have sp ...

On a related note to my previous post it deeply bothers me that a) my computer skills are so much higher than my coworkers (one of my coworkers just stated she would 'triple my pay' if she could) and b) that most jobs doing this sort of problem-solving work (admin assistant/executive assistant/perso ...

I am hoping that writing this out (and maybe someone will argue with me to help clarify my thoughts?) will help me get an idea where I'm at. Lately I've been waffling between resignation at staying here for the duration, and this continuing need to have employment that doesn't involve 6am being "lat ...
