    Hello, World. Again.

    Back in the saddle after a 14-year hiatus

  • This Ginger is about to snap

    Man, there has been a lot going on since I last updated. Oh well. The biggest thing eating me right now is that I am once again without a job. It’s like a frigging roller coaster over here, either famine or feast. I can’t seem to figure out exactly what it is I want to…

  • A Difficult Day

    Today was one hell of a day. The past few weeks have actually been pretty…off. I guess the biggest thing that has been bothering me is my day job. They dissolved our group and made us apply again for our own jobs making us jump through a bunch of hoops for them. And I just…

  • Hello, World!

    Hey guys! It’s been a while! I needed a bit of a break and ran out of things to talk about. But now I’m back on a part-time basis. There’s a lot of catching up to do! I guess the biggest update is that I moved to a new apartment. An upgrade, to be exact.…

  • I’ve moved on, and don’t regret it.

    My friend invited me out with her on the spur of the moment to a party last Thursday. A guy she knew had invited her and said he could get me in too. Awesome! I haven’t been out of the house in a while (working from home is more isolating that I thought!) so I…

  • Scoot on over to the shop blog…

    Hey folks, it’s been a while. Yes, I’m still pissed about Rogers (post below) and they haven’t done anything to help me. I am definitely switching providers when my contract is up. I’ve been away from here for a bit because real life has been demanding a lot of me lately! I got that new…

  • Anonymous No More

      Well hello there! Some of you know me, but most of you don’t. My name is Lisa, and I’m a blogger. But not just any blogger… I’ve been writing this blog as Ginger Corsair since January 2008. Since I was just featured in an article on the front page of the business section in…

  • Multi-Makeovers

    Ahhh, excitement abounds! My mysterious disappearances lately can be attributed to an upcoming photo shoot of my apartment. Airbnb.com, the service I use to promote my B&B is sending its top hosts a professional photographer to take shots of the properties for use on the listing pages. This way, travelers will know that what they…

  • Parting Ways With Employment

    I am about to boldly go where no Ginger has gone before… the world of unemployment. I had the official sit-down with my bosses yesterday and I’ll be unemployed as of March 31st. I’m actually looking forward to it a little bit. Many years I have toiled fruitlessly in the media industry and I’m glad…

  • Roommate-free Since 2011

    It’s true! My roommate has moved out! Rejoice! Lucky for me it was a somewhat-mutual decision, and also fairly amicable. There was only limited stealing of stuff this time, so I consider it a success. Assuming everything goes well with my new job, I will be able to manage the $1300/mo rent by myself now.…
