Getting Started




Cubicle tails: I spend my life in a cubicle at work, typing, and not communication in any way with the world. Tails: obviously a play on the word tale, based on the fact that we have a dog named Charlie at home, whose tail wags back and forth very fast when he is excited and happy.


The picture is of David and I, dancing at my daughter's wedding. It has nothing to do with cubicles, but it does have a tale!


Part of me would like to write my life's story here, Just start at the beginning and go right along until now. It might be very boring for many people to read this! Maybe I will, in posts with a special heading so others could avoid it. LIke Life Part 1, ect, until I am done.


Today I am at work and David is at home, with the car. I asked him to bring me a coffee, after his doctor's visit, but he got busy and couldn't do it. I am stuck here for the whole hour of lunch, and that is another reason I started this blog, it will give me something useful to do with my time. I am in my cubicle, eating my sandwich, and listening to the summer helpers wait on people. The detectives, of all people, are out finding people who've had warrants out for along time, and these people are coming in to pay--these "warrant" are actually commitments, which means they have failed to pay their municipal citations. So they either pay or go to jail. The weather is too nice to go to jail! So the city is making a bunch of money today. Of course, they have waited years, in some cases. I would think the detectives would have better things to do with their time!!


The "ambulance chasers" as we call them are here in full force this noon. One just finished with the accident reports, and another came in. These are actually employees of lawyers who come in to see who has been injured in an accident, or has some other reason to sue someone, so they can offer their services. The department is required to let them see these accident reports, as part of the open records law.
That is work, to which I must return in three minutes. On the personal side, my husband, David, is the love of my life. He is my second husband, my first husband died almost 12 years ago, from diabetes and sarcoidosis. When you get two incurable chronic diseases, and you are not good at staying on you diet and exercising, things just do not go well for you! Bruce was a very good husband and father, but he just loved the bread group and sweets. Of course, do I take my own advice? Not really, I love these two things too. I do try to eat my veggies and fruits; have had three fruits already today!
David and I met on Match.com. It is the only way we would have ever met, because our lives just did not connect, even though he only lived three miles away!
More on this later.........
