They Tell Me to Keep Coming Back: the lost Dr. Seuss poem
http://tkdjunkiesober.blogspot.com/2007/11/lost-dr-seuss-poem.html
Sober since April 6, 2006. Wednesday, November 14, 2007. The lost Dr. Seuss poem. I love my job, I love the pay! I love it more and more each day. I love my boss, she is the best! I love her boss and all the rest. I love my office and its location,. I hate to have to go on vacation. I love my furniture, drab and gray,. And piles of paper that grow each day! I think my job is really swell,. There's nothing else I love so well. I love to work among my peers,. I love their leers, and jeers, and sneers.

They Tell Me to Keep Coming Back: a big change
http://tkdjunkiesober.blogspot.com/2008/01/big-change.html
Sober since April 6, 2006. Wednesday, January 30, 2008. My boyfriend and I got engaged :). I haven't posted much because I've been so busy. Engagement and wedding planning etiquette has always been uncharted territory for me. Some ladies plan their weddings during their childhood and teenage years, but I was pessimistic and afraid to hope for good things. Me, a bride? New relationship situation, new living situation, new city, new job. There is some amount of fear in all of that. It's not a bad. We've go...

They Tell Me to Keep Coming Back: in the cold
http://tkdjunkiesober.blogspot.com/2007/11/in-cold.html
Sober since April 6, 2006. Sunday, November 25, 2007. This turned out to be a weekend of gratitude. I got to ride with my boyfriend on his motorcycle in the cold. For the first time. The wind chill was about 25°F (-3°C) for the 150-mile (241 km) ride. That may not sound so bad, but man it was cold! I'm glad to have the experience. I've never been more grateful for a steaming cup of hot chocolate. Well Dr. Bob was a guy who spent years trying to stop drinking, and then like a miracle, the government o...

They Tell Me to Keep Coming Back: and this too shall pass
http://tkdjunkiesober.blogspot.com/2008/04/and-this-too-shall-pass.html
Sober since April 6, 2006. Monday, April 21, 2008. And this too shall pass. After a lovely weekend, it was time to make the three-hour drive back home. I know this drive well. I take the same familiar route almost every weekend. I headed out west on a beautiful day. Puffy, white clouds floated through the blue sky. There was a hint of rain on the horizon ahead. The hint of rain showers gave way to a storm. The storm was heading my way, and I was heading its way. We would soon meet on the road. So I stead...

They Tell Me to Keep Coming Back: and lo, the overtime cometh
http://tkdjunkiesober.blogspot.com/2007/10/and-lo-overtime-cometh.html
Sober since April 6, 2006. Thursday, October 11, 2007. And lo, the overtime cometh. It's that time of year at work again. That wonderful time of year. Our jobs - no - our very lives. Exist for the sole purpose of making it happen. The first half of the year is spent recovering from last year's event. The third quarter is spent in preparation for the current year's event. The fourth quarter is the event itself. Ladies and gentlemen, it is now "The Busy Season". The thrill of victory is theirs! The relevan...

http://tkdjunkiesober.blogspot.com/2007/10/and-suddenly-i-was-surrounded-with.html
Sober since April 6, 2006. Thursday, October 04, 2007. And suddenly i was surrounded with champagne . I was finally able to make it back in to work yesterday and today. The cold I had last weekend turned into a sinus infection, which is disgusting and miserable, but not contagious. It was nice to be back at work. They had a celebration at work today, and we were all supposed to report to the lobby at a certain time. I left my desk at the last minute and went to the lobby. Anyway, I'm grateful to be sober...

They Tell Me to Keep Coming Back: murphy's law
http://tkdjunkiesober.blogspot.com/2007/11/murphys-law.html
Sober since April 6, 2006. Thursday, November 01, 2007. It's just been one of those weeks. The repeating theme of every day is that no matter how hard I try or how good I do - something always blows up in the end. The stress is getting to me. I went to work shaking this morning. Had a headache all day. After two hours of measuring, pinning, and sewing, I was done. Finally. I did something right after a whole week filled with failure. The curtains just needed to be ironed to get the wrinkles out. Nothing ...

They Tell Me to Keep Coming Back: used
http://tkdjunkiesober.blogspot.com/2007/10/used.html
Sober since April 6, 2006. Thursday, October 18, 2007. Well apparently I've done a very good job at work. I received an excellent job review and lots of praise from my supervisor and bosses. The impossible project they assigned to me is going well, despite the fact that I'm having to reinvent the wheel to make it happen. Mine was for $25. Everyone else's was for much, much more. I'm not the kind of person to complain. But I really want to quit. I'm so tempted to walk away. But that would be i...I don't l...

They Tell Me to Keep Coming Back: ... and another door opens
http://tkdjunkiesober.blogspot.com/2007/09/and-another-door-opens.html
Sober since April 6, 2006. Sunday, September 30, 2007. And another door opens. Every time a door closes, another one opens. A door closed for me, and I don't like what's behind the newly-opened door. I knew beforehand that this was going to happen, and I thought I could handle it. But now that it has actually taken place, I can't handle it. I absolutely hate the way things changed. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it. Because I can't control anything but my own actions, I have to decide what to do next.
