It's that time of year again. It is year two anniversary at the job and my evaluation will be coming up, which I went through last year here. There's always room for improvement but I'm not sure what I can pin point for discussion with the boss, she will likely ask for this again.

For REDdog
Hey bud, check out the thermal lunch bag my office mate got for me for Christmas. I only mentioned the blog with a chuckle and smile back when you gave me that nickname. Haha!
Blog Absence
I know I know, I haven't blogged in a while. My apologies, I just haven't had the writing bug during the holidays, things going on and other activities taking over my time. Oh and laziness too.

Opera and Steel
What started out as a concert and overnight stay at the hotel in Tokyo became so much more.

He could no longer … Continue reading Opera and Steel

What’s In a Name?
So, a blogger I follow REDdog is from the very awesome Australia and recently posted about how Aussies use nicknames for everyone. Too intriguing for me to pass up because I have never really had a nickname. Sure some people have used Di or Diane (which isn't shorter so not sure why that works for … Continue reading What’s In a Name?
Nonplussed
I sit up straighter and have an air when using this word. It just cries for such gallantry.
