Weekend Again

So very, very tired.

It's been an interesting weekend thus far. Spent some quality time at the Playhouse (and I have to admit, I'm a little lost among thespians -- that's a world far from Techland, but it's a fun one), got to hang out a bit with Ashli, Zeeb, and Andy the Expatriate. Well, not so much, but he has deserted us for the summer.

Tomorrow I have an official vacation day. Technically, I have a few things to take care of, but that should only take a couple of hours, as long as I don't waste time. Much more vacation-like than a regular Monday.

I wish I had something interesting to talk about, but ... well, life just isn't right now.

Ah, yes. Stumbled across this blog as well ... I hope that when/if I hit Mom-days, I can have this sense of humor about things.

This is all I've got for now. Lots of nothingness. Sorry to disappoint.


Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly is to the bone.

pisstt...ya know what?..."The Crow" IS AWESOME (I'm not joking around, I saw the last half of that movie earlier on like HBO or someting like that and I didn't know what I was watching):) I thought that it was cool that the guy's name was "Draven" which sounds like "The Raven" and the guy quoted E.A.Poe's "The Raven" and yes, I am working at the museum and bored again.

The confusion continues. Tuesdays seem to be the days for odd discoveries. Hmmm ... Much stress. Big presentation for work tomorrow. I'm downright scared right now, but that's probably mostly due to the fact that I have NO IDEA what to expect. On the bright side, in 24 hours, it'll all be over. Thank goodness. Then there are just papers left, but papers I can handle. And a presentation for senior design, but that's a group thing. Ten days and it's just finals week. I like finals week. Things are oddly easier during finals week.

The Ashley Files: The Gerbil Story

I'm not totally sure what spurred this memory, but this is a story that needs to be told. Over the years, I've had a lot of random jobs. It started when I was young and glued pictures for bridge reports (my family's version of "working with the family business). I had a job at Subway one summer (easily my least-favorite job), was a bridge inspection field technician with the family business, worked in a church camp kitchen, and was a lab assistant. The summer I started this blog, I was working at the school's day care. It was my second summer there. The job was certainly not what I was hoping to do the rest of my life -- but for a nineteen-year-old it was decent money and okay hours. And hey, a couple times a week I got to hang out at the pool and get paid for it. Not a bad gig. [My dad also referred to it as the "world's best birth control" and he may have been right.] I don't remember a lot of the ins and outs of that summer -- most

2019 Year In Review

It was awful. Fine. It wasn’t all bad. I have a niece now. My job is pretty awesome. I like my residence fine. I … avoided all parking tickets? But wow, was there a lot of garbage in the meantime. An unexpected funeral for a friend who died decidedly too young. Family members in and out of (and back into) the hospital. And throughout the last third, the specter of cancer hanging over everything. While a part of me keeps saying, “There is no need to dwell on all the crap, Ashley,” the rest of me is almost too exhausted for optimism. 2020 has potential, yes. Buckets of potential. Oodles of it. 2020 is chaotic neutral staring us in the face. Switzerland with anger issues. Taunting us with its possibilities. RIP 2019. 2020... Please don't be a jerk.
