Hail No

Posted on June 25, 2010 By Sister Rain

It hailed today. We had a bad storm and it thundered and lightninged and was dark as night at 3:30 p.m. A storms-a-brewing inside me too. This new job is barely tolerable. If you’re a frequent reader you know how hard I prayed for a job. I needed a job…

Neither Paper Nor Plastic

Posted on June 22, 2010 By Sister Rain

This morning I had to go into my office for more training. There are a lot of details in this job so it’s going to take a few months to learn everything I need to know. I was following several school buses this morning on my drive and something struck…

Paycheck and We’re Not Talking Johnny

Posted on June 21, 2010 By Sister Rain

Well, today I received my first paycheck in almost three years. (I don’t count unemployment compensation.) It was anti-climatic I am sorry to say, maybe because I’ve been working so hard to earn it these past few weeks. But it is a big deal and no small feat. It represents…

If It Smells Like A Westin, It’s A Westin

Posted on June 18, 2010 By Sister Rain

I spent last week in a Westin hotel and tonight I am in a Westin as well. I can totally understand when musicians say they don’t know what town they’re in every night. My hotel room from last week is 1,300 miles from this Westin tonight but the rooms look…

Just Not Sure

Posted on June 16, 2010 By Sister Rain

Sorry I didn’t post yesterday. Things have been a little crazy. In my new job we do about 10 events a month and we are now in the process of booking the August events. I’m learning the ropes and how my new company does things. Obviously I’ve managed events before…

Oh How The Fallen Have Become Mighty

Posted on June 14, 2010 By Sister Rain

I worked from home today. Later in the week I’m headed to Providence, RI. Today I did a little job searching. I guess I’m not able to just stop like I thought I was. I saw two positions this morning that seem to have been posted forever, plus they are…

The Clouds Beneath My Wings

Posted on June 12, 2010 By Sister Rain

It’s Saturday morning and I can’t sleep so I’m on the computer catching up on some things from being away. I thought I’d sleep in this morning after my long week away but as we all know, when you can sleep in you can’t but Monday morning when the alarm…

Some Down Home Take Out

Posted on June 12, 2010 By Sister Rain

I am back home after a week in Tampa at my new company’s headquarters. As you saw in yesterday’s post, I was eating $23 entrees while I was away. Tonight’s dinner is shown above. Per diem is nice but per mi casa is better . . .

Per Diem

Posted on June 11, 2010 By Sister Rain

This is what I had for dinner tonight. Flounder stuffed with crab meat. Since my flight lands in Philly tomorrow around 5 p.m., dinner will most likely be takeout on the way home. A far cry from a $26 entree. I wonder how many chicken nuggets you can get for…

It’s All Coming Back To Me Now

Posted on June 10, 2010 By Sister Rain

I just had dinner in the hotel restaurant. I then got on the elevator to return to my room and a couple got on after me. I asked them which floor they wanted since I was closest to the buttons and they told me. I had a hard time finding…
