I was accused of leaving work early yesterday!! j/k In my post I said I was about to leave, but it said 3:09 PM in the post. Well, it was REALLY 5:09 PM, honest, but the server time was off. So here’s a test, this is being posted at 10:30 AM (I think most […]

UGH. Trying really hard lately to do my best at work. I slacked off there for a while. Didn’t, as they say, “put in a 110%” (gag). But I’ve got to have concessions if they’re not going to give us casual Fridays, not going to give me my raise. So, I’ve decided I’m going to […]

A friend at work sent this to me. It’s a very accurate joke about airline ticket pricing. Even working at an airline and understanding some of the factors that motivate this pricing, it’s still one of the most aggravating things about flying. Tickets should be based on the service (coach or first), and the length […]

Apparently I’m the last person on earth to figure this out, but you don’t buy something when you’d actually use it. You run out and buy it when it’s the furthest thing from your mind, then shove it in a closet for months and THEN pull it out. Three times in the last month I’ve […]

The weekend is nearly here. yeah! My carpool person’s (there has to be a term for that, co-carpooler?) last day is Monday, so I’ll be riding by myself for a while. It was good to have the company and save money/wear’n’tear on my car. But, it’ll be nice to be able to blast the music […]

This is TOO funny. I have trouble believing anyone ever ate some of these dishes.

Well, I’m turning comments back on again, for this post only to see if the blog spammers have vacated the premises yet. Ian told me how to install the new Movable Type that has controls for comments so that I approve who can post comments, but I’m too lazy to install it. So, […]

Keeping my nephew Nathan for the weekend while my sister and brother-in-law go for a much needed vacation to Corpus Christi. Jason’s going windsurfing, I’ll have to try that sometime!
Nathan has been a real handful growing up, but I have to say in the last year he has become so much better. Still has […]

Comments have been closed on the site. I’ll be going back through and removing the ability to post them to old entries little by little. For this, you have to thank some not nice person (the tiny, barely extant Zennist in me came back and deleted what I originally called these spammers — I experienced […]

Good article over on Gamedev.net about game design. The author, Stuart Walpole, is speaking about video games targeted at the “slave wage” demo(graphic). I like the term: the 20-30 year old group that has migrated from the carefree days of college towards middle age, working 9-5 in a cubicle and having to deal with […]
