Final Goals of 2018 . . . And Beyond?

Posted on December 29, 2018 by Charles Yallowitz

This year has been really rough for a variety of reasons.  Sales plunged into the dumpster and ignited.  War of Nytefall didn’t really take off.  Personal stuff went and still is going haywire.  It started with my son being terrified of … Continue reading →

Goal Post: My First Holiday Break from the Other Side

Posted on December 22, 2018 by Charles Yallowitz

So, I have next week off, which is both cool and weird.  I don’t enter it with the student mentality of ‘no more school!’.  I’m a T.A. and I’ve only been one since November, so I kind of have a … Continue reading →

Gyah! Where Did My Cursor Go?

Posted on December 15, 2018 by Charles Yallowitz

Posted on December 8, 2018 by Charles Yallowitz

I want to be positive here.  I really do, but this was a rough week.  The personal issues are still pounding away at my time and emotions.  I’m staying as strong as I can, but I haven’t been able to … Continue reading →

2018 Ends with a Crumble

Posted on December 1, 2018 by Charles Yallowitz

I don’t think I can pick a song that can work with all this.  (I’ll grab one anyway.)  Honestly, I don’t even know how to write this post.  The job is going fine and I haven’t done any writing.  Those … Continue reading →

I Really Should Have Learned to Juggle

Posted on November 24, 2018 by Charles Yallowitz

This post is going up late because I’ve been running around today.  Things didn’t go as planned with extra errands, traffic, my son deciding to stay home instead of shopping with my wife, and laundry.  I’m still at the beginning … Continue reading →

A Job Has Been Gained and the Balancing Act Gets More Harrowing!

Posted on November 17, 2018 by Charles Yallowitz

The title really says it all.  I got called back about a full-time Teaching Assistant job, which I go in Monday morning to learn more about.  It will be a one-on-one position that, barring an unexpected hiccup during Monday’s board … Continue reading →

Goal Post: Pinged Off the Crossbar and Hit a Mascot

Posted on November 10, 2018 by Charles Yallowitz

I don’t know how to categorize this week.  Things happened, but I haven’t heard back about the potential job. Not surprising since schools were closed on Tuesday for the election and Wednesday for Diwali.  The waiting is always the worst … Continue reading →

Posted on November 3, 2018 by Charles Yallowitz

I’m going to be trying my best to not ‘count all my chickens before they hatch’ like I keep getting told not to do.  Still, this week took a wild turn right at the beginning.  The original plan was to … Continue reading →

Goals . . . And Good-Bye to Dawn Addison

Posted on October 27, 2018 by Charles Yallowitz

I don’t think I’m going to be that chatty on this post.  I’m feeling rather discarded this weekend.  Not a great way to start this and it opens the door for certain people to make things worse, but I’m being … Continue reading →
