floored
Ninety minutes before kickoff, I decide to lift up a corner of the carpet in my room. It wasn’t the first time I’d peaked at the honey-stained floorboards underneath. The vacuum pulls it at weekly, and then some. But I’ve never pulled it back this far. I was floored at what I lay underneath.

Many feel that the results of this one will make or break the company. This isn’t top secret stuff. Everyone knows, it’s just not laid out this way in the press release.

It will be weeks before we know if this thing that we have is any good and, from there, we’ll know if we will continue to push towards submission OR scury to update our resumes in preparation for a completely different turn of events: a hunt for a new job.
Today, my best work came to me mid-day. The demands of the day, ever-changing queries and such had me exhausted and starving. And still I worked…

It’s not even Halloween and already there are signs of Christmas. Department stores have decked their halls and holiday plans have begun circulating here and there.
My Christmas Cactus has even burst into color already.
