just in case I have any newcomers pass through this journal of mine...
I have gone friends-only with my posting.
Just felt like closing my journal to the outside world for now...
if you happen to want to join my circle of friends
knock on my door and I'll let you in...
once I check you out through the peephole first :)

I ran a few errands before the lunch hour...I stopped at Michael's for some things and when I got in the car, I looked at my plastic bag and there's a 23 printed on it. It could be a Z3, but in my eyes, it's a 23 either way you look at it ( Read more... )

...I have a new cube configuration. I can see the world pass by. I can surf the net without fear of someone seeing me do it (in moderation, of course! I am at work :), and I can mouse without hitting a wall. I have room. My cube feels bigger (I think the drafting table was taking up a lot of room) and I like the change. Now, I just need to work ( Read more... )

Note to self: never wait until the end of a year to pull together the images from a year like this one to print and put in an album that you can show your east coast buds.

I like California :)

it's as if I've been programmed for so long around this time of year to pick up a coat and take it with me as I leave the house...but I don't even need a coat right now. It feels strange to not wear one in December. It was cooler in San Francisco, I liked wearing my coat and scarf. It made it feel like the holidays ( Read more... )

it just goes to show you that the creators of the "happiest place on earth" aren't all smiles all of the time...it will be interesting to see how this all unfolds in the coming years...whether I'm still an employee of the mouse or not...I do hope that some of the original creative energy that was present in this company some 10 years ago can be ( Read more... )
