    Fall weather has me dreaming road-trip dreams.

  • Tall Boots

    By Andrea Menzies

    I hurt my ankle badly on the job last week, and it is my new plan to wear tall boots at work. Several online articles agree that tall boots provide better ankle support and prevent sprains better than low top shoes, and I have the ankles that need them. I had already bought tall work boots yet was going to wait until winter to wear them. I will sweat all summer to avoid a repeat on ankle crap. I could not do one tenth of the fun things I had planned for the weekend as ankle pain got in the way. I even got offered free concert tickets from online chat friends, and ankle pain mixed with hail and flooding got in the way of going there.

    Not only did a death in the family happen to me this week, but two of my school friends died as well. The pandemic is over yet MORE people are passing on in my life how is that happening? If you don’t laugh you cry.

  • No House

    By Andrea Menzies

    Texas and Louisiana gave me a completed $90 thousand University degree and friends. Virginia has been a garbage toilet. Another man on online dating pretended to like me, and then confessed he was a real estate agent trying to sell me a house in Virginia. He is one of dozens of men to do this scam. This is why I have not kissed or dated anyone in 3 years the choices in Virginia are horrible. One, if you are pretending to like ladies to make a sale you have nothing good to sell. Two, I have HATED every square foot of Virginia with all of my soul, and I was being too polite to mention it is a garbage toilet. Unfortunately this is mistakenly making people think I enjoy it and want to stay here. Face punching abusive and abandoning human garbage is all that is in the dating pool of Virginia. I used to love dating. Music sucks in Virginia and I drive every week I can out of state to see bands on tour because music venues destroy every show in Virginia and rob their customers. The one purchase I want to make is an SUV in my own name to drive FAR away from Virginia while not returning to give the vehicle back to my family. Sharing a vehicle with my family is trapping me in a town I feel soul crushing hate for daily. I am working two jobs to clear my credit to buy one, and in no way am looking to buy a Virginia house or land. I will slap the next man in the face who tries to sell me a house.

  • Family Travel

    By Andrea Menzies

    My mom flew to California for a family birthday party Thursday, and I had to tell her how to post pictures to Instagram. I am feeding her dogs when she is gone. If it was me I would have 8 photos posted before I left the 1st airport. I would be on photo 100 by now.

  • Show Renewed

    Show Renewed

    I am so glad Upload is being renewed for a fourth season. The William Gibson cameo episode was great as I loved his cyberpunk books as a teen. The show is full of book references to his stories.

  • History Lesson

    By Andrea Menzies

    Working with boxes makes me glad I have a University degree, and have worked a teaching job since 2019 over 4 years. Nothing makes me miss teaching work more than the 30 thousand steps I had to walk yesterday delivering boxes for a second job I work on school break gaps yearly. Every history lesson about why unions were invented suddenly makes more sense to me today. Ouch!

  • Back In Line

    By Andrea Menzies

    I am back in the work lines at Amazon as of this month. I thought I was not going back to a second job there, but they invited me back with many e-mails right when I was having bill issues. My second assignment there has way better job tasks and hours, and so I like it much better. Amazon has all the money, and so you gotta do what you gotta do as bills don’t pay themselves and I am a single parent.

  • Work Return

    By Andrea Menzies

    I am glad to be returning to work today at a second job. The first few weeks of summer vacation were great when I had no work hours at my job, but now I am completely bored playing too many games. Schools really need to reduce summer vacation to 1 month. I am back to earning money for my piggy bank today.
