And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Still ring-shaped, but so much bigger and shinier than mine! I'd be a fool to refuse! But I did, which prompted another horrible flood of tears.

Aw, poor toddlers with their adorably self-centered and incomplete understandings of ownership.

Dylan will charmingly offer me leaves and rocks he finds on the playground, but utterly fails to comprehend why said leaf or rock is not an appropriate trade for my glasses or cell phone.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Is it okay to not have ambition?

of course. Once I realized that I have no ambition - I am happier. I work. actually, I work hard. But if I never move up, so be it. The world would be a better place if I ran it-- but if no one understands that,it is there loss.

I have no qualms about my lack of work amibition. My work friend constantly corrects me when I say I am not ambitious, she points to my to do lists for home stuff. But work/professional life, nsm.

I have work ambition, but it's mostly on hold for the next 10 years or so. Like there are things I want to do, but I'm currenlty more interested in doing the other things first.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Bon--you gonna be doing the housewife thing (I can see you rocking the role) or are you hunting?

For a few months, while I study for the bar and plan the honeymoon. I'll start looking after the new year.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

All I want to do for the next 10 years is make enough money to live and save and not hate my workplace. Recently they have been asking me about wanting to learn new things and I have no interest. I'll probably end up doing some of it just because it will help my department and give me additional marketable skills. Someone mentioned taking classes or doing professional development and I would rather get food poisoning.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

I have my performance evaluation today at 1:00. I'm not too worried, because my boss and colleagues have been vocally positive about my work overall. But I'm kinda dreading the "goals for the next year" part, because "keep doing what I'm doing now to keep the program running, just do a good job and maintain the status quo so I can devote heart and soul to my writing" isn't what you're supposed to say. It doesn't help that when my boss first started here, I kinda, um, lied and claimed an interest in moving higher in hospital/academic administration instead of just honestly admitting that the only reason I work is that I'm not yet making ANY money as a writer, much less enough to live on.

Our wings are not tired

I love my work. Sometimes the hours are a bit much but that's just part of the sacrifice.
