Dobby's Roommate: September 2008
http://sumatranratmonkey.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 25, 2008. I was driving home the other day and in a bit of a mood. While I was stuck on the on ramp, out of the corner of my eye I saw a movement. When I looked, it was a little girl in the minivan next to me, waving hello. I waved to her and smiled. She smiled back. And just like that, my slurky mood was gone. It was just that easy. Holding a door open for someone with their arms full. Letting people merge into your lane on the freeway. Thanking people who show you kindness. Monday, ...

Dobby's Roommate: Blondie
http://sumatranratmonkey.blogspot.com/2009/05/blondie.html
Tuesday, May 26, 2009. If you've ever seen my apartment, you'll know it's right by a man made pond. A pond swarming with avian life. It has geese, ducks, and last summer there was even a heron making regular appearances. (I made sure to keep the SRM locked inside when the heron was around.). Then we walked by yesterday morning. She wasn't there. But.as we walked past one of the small planters, we saw the object of her fascination. She's nested there. And there are eggs. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Dobby's Roommate: December 2008
http://sumatranratmonkey.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 15, 2008. Best investment I ever made. I talk to my Parents every Sunday night. Obvious subject of conversation yesterday was the weather. Yesterday was my first serious snow since I've moved to Oregon. And the temperature has been appropriatly cold to go along with it. Luckily, my apartment is small, so heating it isn't a horrendous burden (I say now, before I start getting my real winter electric bills). But, of course, they asked how I manage to keep warm at night. Follow me on Twitter.

Dobby's Roommate: Who woulda thunk it?
http://sumatranratmonkey.blogspot.com/2009/06/who-woulda-thunk-it.html
Tuesday, June 2, 2009. Who woulda thunk it? I have a friend from high school that is an honorary sister. My Dad used to always refer to her as his "other daughter". Which is a good thing, considering her relationship with her own mother was less than rewarding. Turns out that Helen had some mental health issues that came to attention in the 90's, which explained a lot. Do I feel actual grief for this woman who made me crazy during adolesence and young adulthood? I guess it's all part of the human conditi...

Dobby's Roommate: February 2009
http://sumatranratmonkey.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 13, 2009. So, last Friday was my last shift at my part time job. I'm doing well enough for myself now that I don't need it, which is a releif. It was also pretty funny, because the manager I worked with that night totally embarrassed a teenage couple that was loitering in front of our store, which made me laugh so hard I cried. Don't fuck this one up." I wish him all the best. He deserves after putting up with me for all those years. He's so cute when he sleeps. Friday, February 6, 2009.

Dobby's Roommate: Two way auditions
http://sumatranratmonkey.blogspot.com/2010/07/two-way-auditions.html
Wednesday, July 14, 2010. So, I've been out of work now for a few weeks. I've been sending out 5 to 10 resumes a day and interviewing with everyone who is willing to meet with me. And here I am, still looking. The moral is.while interviewing, always remember a job needs to be a good fit for all parties. Don't settle for a job out of desperation if it means working for a douchebag. Labels: hatred with the white hot intensity of a thousand suns. My stand in the drift.

Dobby's Roommate: March 2009
http://sumatranratmonkey.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 13, 2009. One of those conversations you love to have. So, I'm in my boss' office yesterday and she tells me how when she meets with a client who is bonkers, she writes my name and number on the back of her business card in the hopes that the nuts will call me instead of her. Boss - "And you thought this would be a good transition.". Me - "In this economy and job market any transition is a good transition.". Boss - "Thanks for making me feel like a last resort.".

Dobby's Roommate: September 10, 2001
http://sumatranratmonkey.blogspot.com/2010/09/september-10-2001.html
Friday, September 10, 2010. September 10, 2001. Nine years ago today, I got home and got a phone call from a girlfriend of mine. She and her husband were fighting and she was upset. She wanted to know if worse came to worse, could she stay at my house? I told her of course she could. Then I called another girlfriend of mine to tell her how down I was feeling. She proceeded to unload all of her problems on me, and I ended up not having a chance to vent. Was on that night and I got the chance to laugh.
