Started back to school -- online and around my variable work schedule -- since I am obviously never going to climb past the "working VERY poor" category unless I get some papers to prove I am a good hiring bet. Then the main ... http://redqat.net/wordpress/2010/01/06/small-nightmares-of-the-waking-variety/ Small annoyances Today I've been trying to do school stuff, and I actually have managed to do some. I've also done some kitchen cleaning, some bathroom cleaning, some household laundry, and some errand running. I would do more school stuff -- at my age, maybe there isn't a lot of ... http://redqat.net/wordpress/2009/09/01/small-annoyances/ Are you for or against the death penalty? Yes. Having settled that question in my usual manner, let's examine the issue from a somewhat different angle, shall we? There are a lot of opinions and viewpoints, but let's start with something that should have a rational, not emotional answer: What is the purpose of a death sentence?

I'm not feeling the financial side of it on a personal level, because I know a large portion of that change is ... http://redqat.net/wordpress/2008/11/11/aka-atlas/ Another sleepless night After a long day and before yet another long day, of course. The apartment is a mess. My finances are an even bigger mess. Today I'm supposed to clean up everything (even though I didn't make the mess alone). Household AND financial. Today I must be ... http://redqat.net/wordpress/2008/10/02/another-sleepless-night/ Ignore this Just in case someone trips across this place, don't say I didn't warn you... I'm down today, so anything I write at this point is probably best left alone, but I'm paying for this domain, which makes it "my party, so I'll cry if I want to." Right? Whatever... So, ... http://redqat.net/wordpress/2008/08/05/ignore-this/ One down, uncounted to go I finally got the old posts here...where I hope they will avoid disappearing! Maybe now I can actually do some NEW writing...sometime...but not now, because I've got things to do that don't involve the computer...{sigh} The server may have changed, but some things still remain t http://redqat.net/wordpress/2008/06/06/one-down-uncounted-to-go/ Black Friday Morning Musings Did you notice that most of the broadcast advertising this last week or two has focused on the now-traditional excess of day-after-Thanksgiving shopping? So did I, and I noticed something else. This year some of the retailers are actually calling it a "Black Friday Sale." They probably ... http://redqat.net/wordpress/2007/11/23/black-friday-morning-musings/ MeYatt!! Bouncing around the room, metaphorically speaking. Why? Because I have successfully begun the process of moving and resurrecting Qat Thoughts! I did it! Well, I've started to do it, anyway. There's a lot yet to be accomplished, so for now it's "To be continued..." http://redqat.net/wordpress/2007/10/19/meyatt/
