What a Mint!

Last Sunday, while bored at home waiting to leave to meet some guy for one of those quasi-dates—those “let’s grab a drink” things. Never materialized. It was raining too much. The place we were going to meet at was closed on Sundays. He’s local so I suspect he may have gotten cold feet. But I digress. Anyway, while waiting at home to leave, I started browsing the App Store on iTunes on my iPhone. Time-killer, right? Well, I came across one app, Seize the Day, that looked interesting. Downloaded it. It’s an app to keeps track of tasks and alerts you to outstanding To-Do list items. Do we need it? No. We can just take a pad of paper and create our own To-Do list. The iPhone has a Notes section too. But I thought, why not! Anything to help organization in this cluttered, electronic world. But it was the app for the personal finance website Mint.com that really intrigued me. Keep reading . . .
Permanent Vacation

Yesterday was the first day I spent under the Caribbean sun. I actually wrote this post on Saturday but had to adjust it to accommodate my Twelfth Day of Accounting as yesterday was the 10th. With an afternoon spent in the sun, it passed my mind completely. Lord & Lady took me out on their boat. We sailed over to Buck Island, a national park untouched by man. Well except for the random droppings he leaves behind. Or she—like the tampon applicator I came across in the bushes. But I digress. I shot this photograph from the edge of the water with my iPhone. We needed to know the time. The temperature of the water varied in an instant from refreshingly cold to amazingly warm. And the colors! From this turquoise to teal to deep blue. Just within a few feet.

Happy Easter. Hope the Easter Bunny was good to you. I popped a few peeps at the contact attorney position today. Sucks having to work on a holiday but even more so when you’re the only one there. I received a task on Friday that was supposed to be done by Saturday. 
Yesterday, however, I was nearly crippled by a headache—as noted in Overactive Imagination—so I didn’t get much accomplished. Instead I spent much of the morning and then the afternoon and evening compulsively checking my iPhone between serving cake and passing out playbills. That email asking me whether I had completed my task never came. Of course, it never came. Just my overactive imagination again. But today I’m in the office late again, furiously trying to get all the materials and copies assembled for the morning.
As I noted in Movin’ On, the law firm I’m working for asked if I could continue on for roughly six more weeks. I haven’t heard back from either clerkship opportunity, so I sidestepped that point by stating that I don’t have any constraints on my availability currently. Except for the theatre. Back in Stepping Up and Down, I explained my plan to reduce my hours at the theatre gig to allow for increased work at the contract attorney position. And once again I asked whether I should keep my shifts at the theatre scaled back. In a roundabout way I was told yes. But I decided not to. Looks like I’m in for a few more weeks burning that midnight oil—and the candle at both ends. Keep reading . . .
Welcome Rest

I had to post a placeholder entry via the iPhone WordPress app. I haven’t paid the Time Warner bill for internet and telephone and so they suspended my service. Really annoying to need the internet to pay for the internet. One welcome aspect to suspended service: my telephone, and I have, enjoyed a welcome rest. It’s been quite. No one can get through on the telephone to call me about my debts.
Today’s post is short again because I’m home sick still. Bad cold. I’ve spent nearly the entire day in bed, except for the three hours I worked at the theatre today. You can’t really call in sick there. Well, you can, of course. But it’s not like the contract attorney position. I couldn’t really just stand there for a few hours and get paid.
I must say though, I’ve needed this rest. Even if it does end up costing me over $700. Crazy, eh? Sickness sucks.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Not much of one here. I worked two shifts at the theatre and had to smile and beam at all the happy couples (both straight and gay) and giddy families coming to see the shows. And both shows were sold out too so that meant a lot of patrons. Keep reading . . .
Colleague Confusion

Total Red: $229,126.19
Numerous comments over the past few months have taken me to task for daring to expect something additional from the colleague I’ve worked for since August. Way back in Hang A Shingle. So, I thought I’d take the time to lay out some of the back and forth between him and myself. Might help to make for a clearer picture. Note that I’ve changed any identifying information as to persons or corporations. Keep reading . . .
