Peevishness
by CeriseRose ini feel peevish.
my friend who is still a jw brought over her taxes and related bookkeeping things today.
we had a chat...not theocratic, but it had some history on things that went on when i was a jw.

Going back to school...
by CeriseRose inwell, i've started back to university, which had gotten a little sidelined by my jw experience.
about 15 years ago i'd done a few semesters of college, but really didn't know what i wanted to do in life.
i went to business college, entered the workforce, and right about the time i was going to go back to school, was brought into the jws by a coworker.

Doug Bennett passed...
by CeriseRose ini heard this on the way to work and just felt sad.
i guess it's a fact of life as we get older that more and more of our personal experiences are the ones on the obituary list...just kind of depressing.
doug and the slugs were the first concert i ever went to, february 14, 1984. they were incredible.

Not sure if this belongs in this subheading...
by CeriseRose inbut i really don't know where to put it if not here.
just an interesting bit of things that i'm reading.
now, please remember that i had no bible knowledge prior to jws and they 'got' to me just as i was hitting the years where most people go to university to expand their knowledge.

Latent hostility and all-encompassing rage...ranting.
by CeriseRose ini am honestly trying to stay ahead of anger and to not live my life by it.
i'm not an angry person overall...in fact i've had many issues where i've not gotten angry like someone else might and it's left me in an unhealthy place.
i learned to start getting angry over injustice and wrong, especially where i'm personally concerned.

Things I've Learned This Week...
by CeriseRose ini've had a difficult week, fraught with one problem after another.
this is what i've learned:the network/router gods get mad if you beat them at their own game and will work in collusion with the printer gods to screw you over bad.10 years of maintaining my work printer + 1 year of being out of the job = complete meltdown of my brain to remember that when you replace the colour toner, you need to replace the black toner as an acceptable sacrifice to the printer godsnever replace toner and drivers for your printer at the same timealways look on amazon.com for printer toner before spending $100 at staples (can take that back, thank goodness!
)a credit card "customer service" agent in the hand is worth a least two yelling matches and should be washed off with astringent soap and boiling water immediately.
