I GOT PAID TODAY
And they overpaid me.
My boss wrote me:
“Diane—
We made a mistake and paid you 10 per hour instead of 9.50. Neek week your pay will be at the quoted 9.50 rate. Call me if you have questions.”
Being paid weekly after getting used to 4 days worth of money and 6 days of poverty, is amazing.
thanks for the follow mylifeasbreezy!

the child is gone;
My current job is an ersatz position at the county. It was easier for the department to lay off two tenured people and hire in temporary employees to work the switchboard. I’m the second one they’ve had in a month. My cubicle is littered with doodles, half-written poetry, notebooks and the nine overdue library books I’ve plowed through this week. I feel stupid for complaining...

thanks for the follow dreams-within-dreams!
a) The Killers rule!
b) Doctor Who is my favourite British television show, which is a big deal, because I LOVE Monty Python.
c) Yay! Thank you so much :)
Follow Molly, ya’ll. She’s awesome.

I'm all over it now;
You would think I told him no.
I feel like I’ve died and been reborn. People can see it in my walk, hear it my voice, observe it in my eyes. It was only four Tuesdays ago, but the stabbing pain I felt is now only a memory.
He seems aghast at my ”oh well, that’s life” attitude. Make no mistake; his beauty still moves me. However, I cannot allow the way I feel to ruin my...

so lately;
1. After struggling with the fax machine for 15 minutes, I managed to send my time-slip in today. This week has been in bullet time. Only a week more and then my first paycheck. I desperately need the money; I need a coat, a good pair of slacks, some walking shoes, a big tub of shea butter and a transit pass so I don’t have to cary change.
2. Mount Clemens is my kind of city— quiet,...

commuting is:
sleeping, sleeping, sleeping, alarm clock, expletives
layers of clothes, egg sandwich wrapped in foil, clear stars
harmlessly creepy guys accepting Bible literature from you
loud rap music blaring from cell phone headphones
being terrified of falling asleep on the bus
meeting indie girls in burger joints
cramming between adolescents and hobos
being told I’m beautiful by an old guy...

the first day on the job is:
silky cobwebs of sensual dreams still clouding your eyes while you brush your teeth
fried egg sandwiches and not enough water to get the crumbs out of your throat
17 year old car stalling in the middle of a crucial left turn
loud British expletives and silent prayers
losing attention for just one second and hitting the curb hard, causing your heart and your speedometer to seize
White men in...

I can be sure that people aren’t embarrassed to be seen with me because of the size of my body.
If I pick up a magazine or watch T.V. I will see bodies that look like mine that aren’t being lampooned, desexualized, or used to signify laziness, ignorance, or lack of…

five letters to men I know:
I should be totally in love with you, but I am not. I feel deeply sorry about that; you’re a capable, loving man, and I feel like I should adore you for it. But alas, I do not. I really hope that if you have feelings for me, you keep quiet about them. I wish that I could pretend but that’s not fair to either one of us. Please, please, please don’t feel tenderly about me. To...

LIVING WITHIN A 50 MILE RADIUS OF YOUR ALMA MATER GETS AWKWARD Tonight I saw a girl at the gym who went to high school with me. I spent the entire 90 minutes we were both there avoiding eye contact. She was the girlfriend of a guy I rejected in high school. She told me, “I broke up with him because he was constantly talking about you.” I got a good look at her for the first time since she...
