living

i've been so focused on thinking about what i want to do for a living, i haven't thought about where.  and it turns out, looking backward, where has always been the most important.  my priorities are for sure changing.  i've gone from so happy to be earning a better living than i had in the past (with some reasonable savings finally) to knowing that money isn't enough, that money can't override a lack of satisfaction.  but then watching roseanne reruns where she amusingly hates every damn job and boss she ever has (except tellingly when she, jackie, their mom and nancy open the diner) has sent me a message that maybe just maybe life outside of work can make work worth it.  now i don't have kids to support.  i have me.  and being a safety net for people i love.  beyond that i'm eating a cold burrito right now because i'm so tired from being bored at work i don't have the energy to heat it up.

random joke roseanne would have told 15 years ago if she'd thought of it

"why are those right wingers so against us women getting abortions?  don't they think we're supposed to vacuum?"

this joke does not necessarily represent the viewpoints of ultranow or its subsidiaries.  but i did write it and have never been so proud/ashamed in my life.  at least not since i bought whitney houston's second album.
