  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Child Myth

    By Andrea Menzies

    The greatest myth told to children is “you can be anything when you grow up” as a profitable job. No you are not going to be a cowboy, artist, rockstar, zookeeper, and astronaut as most people have learned. You go where the money is or you suffer.

  • Happy News

    Happy News this week as an old job I used to work at hired me back. My piggy bank will be somewhat happy soon. A misunderstanding was solved thank the heavens.

  • Epic Bike Raid Day

    By: Andrea Menzies

    Epic Bike Raid Day – Today was raid day for my video game group that meets in the park. In addition I just got my folding mountain bike fixed, my transition lens sunglasses on, and my Bauhaus band shirt washed. Since I am single and have not had a date in months I have no choice but to get so fit from bike riding men from other towns find me attractive. I have not been to DC or Maryland since the VNV show in April, but I have future plans to go. I am now super sore from a full day of many miles of bike riding. It is no longer National Bike Month, but bike riding remains my daily hobby. In addition I hit a new record on Jacfit Fitness App for miles biked in one month, and I started in April and hit 200 miles this week. I wish-listed an electric bike yet never bought it, and so I had to do all the miles with natural human power.

  • Travel Time

    By Andrea Menzies

    No Texas and New Orleans friend and family reunions this summer. I was planning a road trip for May or June of this year. As a teacher summer off is one of the perks of the job, and many teachers have RV travel plans. Unfortunately major work melodrama hit like a sledge hammer, and I am stuck in town a while longer. Oh well fall has good travel fun as well.

    Life may be rough right now but at least I have a good bike to ride. Life was easy when going outside to play was the only goal. #Nationalbikemonth #Bikelife

  • Happy Mother’s Day

    Happy Mother’s Day

    By Andrea Menzies

    Happy Mother’s Day 2024 to all the women working the lifetime full time job of motherhood. I gave gifts to my mom Anne. My daughter bought me a table packed with chocolate and crepe fruits so sometimes being a single mother is worthwhile.
