He’s a little Amadeus and a little Mr. Holland

Posted by: Becca on: February 26, 2009

My high school chorus teacher just joined facebook and I think I have been more excited about that than I have about anyone else I have seen on there. Mr. Boyce is a key player in not only one of the significant parts of my life, but also in the significant parts of so many [...]

If you’re lost look for the signs

Posted by: Becca on: February 25, 2009

It’s been a good night. Enchilada casserole, cake batter and wine (for me) with Nat while watching Beethoven’s 5th…just nice…
but then I get overwhelmed, tired, there are a million things to do and I just want to sleep but then I’m afraid the things will never get done…I just have good, organized, productive times followed [...]

Here’s your sign

Posted by: Becca on: February 21, 2009

Yesterday I sat down on a bench right in front of the library and saw a plaque that said “Bench use limited to 20 minutes. City code 11-20″. I looked around and it was on every bench in that area. I later told Alicia I guess you could just bench hop over and over throughout [...]

You spin my head round…

Posted by: Becca on: February 21, 2009

So, this with work are better. A little bit. I still don’t know how the hours will work out, but the position is still a professional one, so I feel better about that aspect.
This is why I always try to keep relationship things private, because more often than not, you end up back with the [...]

We fight, we break up, we kiss we make up

Posted by: Becca on: February 19, 2009

Every relationship I’ve ever had has apparently been training ground for dealing with this job. Not the job when I’m doing work, but the back and forth up and down changes. Katy Perry’s Hot and Cold is I think about my company and not about a boyfriend.
My program manager just told me she wants to [...]

And Jill came tumbling after

Posted by: Becca on: February 19, 2009

I’m like a watched pot. I won’t boil while you watch me, and it takes a while. When someone delivers information to me that is upsetting, shocking, disappointing, etc, my initial reaction is barely a reaction. Even when something bad happens in front of me, like Natalie getting hurt. I’m not quick to panic, I [...]

Gossip

Posted by: Becca on: February 19, 2009

So, I know this girl who, when things went downhill unexpectedly at work after a long climb uphill, decided to do as little as possible for a few days and she cancelled appointments and layed in bed and binged ate and drank wine in the middle of the day (which according to American standards is [...]

Damnit, Damnit, Damnit!  That’s what keeps going through my head thinking about work. I am beyond frustrated. I would spout off about it now at length if I didn’t need to go. I just wanted to say: DAMN IT. Alright, I’ll be back tonight with more, I’m sure.

Frances and Faye

This week has been long.
One afternoon while on lunch I walked to some shops a block over. One was an antique store, one a collectible store.
The antique store was museum-like, but intriguing. I felt transported to another era. I wanted to touch everything and sit there all day. There were two older women working, one [...]

What if it all just comes down to you and me?

Posted by: Becca on: February 11, 2009

When everything else was in my head, I heard that-I heard, what if it’s not about all of that, about failure and success, about right and wrong, and ability and screw ups? Why in the world would you need to do it all on your own? What good would that be for us?  Why would [...]
