Chivo

I'm a member of the Alumni Association of UCR. I have been receiving E-mails in regards to their Homecoming festivities. I feel old. I miss college. I miss the readings, the lifestyle, the ambiance. I miss progressive people, new ideas and late nights. Those days seem like they were here yesterday...It's been 8 years.

We had a wonderful night last night. We went to our new sushi place. They served us complemetary chapagne with rasberry surup and towards the end of the meal even doubled our last order for free. They sent us off with little Chocolate Kisses and walked us to the door to say good bye. I love this place. Don't get me wrong I love the little all-you-can-eat-place in Riverside... but this one is adorable. The patrons ( at least 80%) were Latino. You could hear a low steady mumble of Spanish being spoken. Young couples, older couples, families, multi-generational families all eating sushi. I had a wonderful time.

We ate out tonight, installed a new modem, only read two blogs tonight and found out the neighbors had another batch of Rotties. I did report them to the Humane Society (they have Pitts and and other rottie that are chained without adequate shelter). I hope I can get my hands on one of the puppies before they are taken by the HS.



I'm am so booked! Everyday I have stuff to do, everyday! I have lists with sub points that have sub points. I'm working my tail off. I come home and I'm exshusted. Wednesday, I'm off to Costco in order to pick up crablegs for Valentines Day. On that day, I'm going to come home and cook. It's a four day weekend for us, however I have a meeting with clients on Sunday. Why do I do this.... I do it becasue I'm good at it. I do it becasue I love a challenge. I do it beacuse it gives back to the community.

I have never ever thought I would say this. I think my color and gender are being taken into account by a co worker shown through passive aggressive attacks. What the freaking hell. This started three years ago when he went to the CEO of the company and told him I’m a communist. In our area of work that would be a ill fitting political choice. He said this because I wore a Frida Kahlo shirt under a sweat shirt on a office moving day. Compared to the cleavage/shorts/flip flop wearing white girls I thought I was pretty well dressed. Then he went to the board and complained that our department was undermining his client base. Thus was found untrue through documentation. Now he as called me a lair … behind my back to some clients. He now has gone too far. The cliental then came to me and told me what happened. I took the higher road and said he must be uninformed or joking. ARRRGGGGGGG!!!! Breath. Is it because I am a woman? Is it because I’m brown? Is because I run a successful ship? Why does he insist on doing this? He does not do this to anyone else. Oh wait, no one else looks like me in my area.
I hope it is something else..and not what I said it was.


Bring It!!!
