MISC.: I'm Totally Not Stressed, Though ...

If you're wondering why I have not been posting faithfully every day lately, I think the only way I can get across what I am dealing with in my "real life" is to just show you by posting pictures of my office. Each file folder is a case I am working on. Each piece of paper belongs in some file folder, somewhere, that may or may not already be in my office:




I am hanging on by my last fingernail right now ... blog posts will pick up in pace when I get a better grip.

damn. I really should bring back an anonymous business-related blog. But now I'm "out".

Work is criz-azy for me right now too. But looking at your pics makes me feel a little better, because any amount of paper like that is so overwhelming to me . . . I sit in admiration of your talents.
KT said…
Ha! It's overwhelming to me too ... but I have an unfortunate talent for taking a monstrous snarl of paperwork and handing it back to you in neat little piles all tabbed and highlighted with a memo explaining what needs to happen.

What happens when you hate what you're talented at? How do you resolve that?

You win the lottery? You're also talented at a lot of things you don't hate. You hope that you become lucrative...
KT said…
Yep, that's about my plan right now. Hope that I become lucrative. Because I don't even have time to buy lottery tickets--they don't sell them at the gas station I like.

Sometimes when I am doing an organizing task like that, I think I should have been one of those people that organizes your closet and stuff because then I could at least look at people's stuff, which is something I like to do, if authorized. But I think I would hate that too. Plus, if my home is any indicator, I probably would not be as great at that as I think, regardless of what I can do to a pile of paper.

what's missing is a photo of you in these shots, hunched over your desk in a crisp white shirt, glasses dangling from your mouth.

at least that's how i imagine your lawyer life to be.
KT said…
Ha ha! That sounds so sophisticated. My shirt is neither crisp, nor white (hey, it's Friday!) and I don't where glasses. But the hunching part is spot on.

RESTAURANT: Pinkberry

So I finally tried this famous (infamous?) yogurt shop that has begun the conquest of Los Angeles. The yogurt that is called "crackberry" by many. What the L.A. Times calls "the yogurt that launched a thousand parking tickets" due to the notoriously bad parking situation in its original location and its customers tendency to wait in lines for hours. It's the newest thing, taking the place of cupcakes, it seems. It's a rebirth of the frozen yogurt fad of the late '80s, but this time it's different. This yogurt is different. So, my lazy ass might be persuaded to go there, even though it's outside my 2 mile radius of things around my apartment. If it's really that good, I would go the extra .1 mile. But I would not go the extra .1 mile, AND have to go crazy trying to find parking AND then have to wait in life until my hairs turn grey. Nothing is that good. But now there's one I can walk to, and the line is not that long, so we decided to try...

ABOUT THIS BLOG

I've been evaluating my blog and have realized that, while I have lots of nifty posts, I don't really have a good overall explanation of what exactly this blog is all about, and what one can expect to find here. So I'm creating this post and will link to it in the sidebar for anyone who's interested. I am not a professional chef. I have not been cooking for years. I am not an expert who is going to make beautiful and amazing and complicated dishes to "wow" you. I am, in fact, quite the opposite. I am a total beginner. I've always lived in places with miniscule kitchens and concerned myself with schoolwork and studying and working and not paid the least bit of attention to what I was eating every day. And that's what this blog is all about. It's about me learning where my food comes from, how to make it properly, and how to enjoy it to the utmost. It's no fun to learn by myself, so I started the blog to keep track of what I learn, kind of like a...

LA.FOODBLOGGING: Groundworks Coffee

Our local foodblogging establishment, la.foodblogging , has seen fit to allow me to contribute. From now on most of my Los Angeles centered posts will be done there, and linked to from here, in order to avoid duplication. My first post is on my morningtime friend, Groundwork Coffee (as promised to Jeremy and my sweet Auntie). You can read it here: I'll Have the Works . Tags: LA.FOODBLOGGING
