The weekend was a lot of fun. There was much love and merriment for the bulk of it, and we actually took in a movie as well. Movies are (for me) a very rare occasion nowadays, as most of Hollywood is turning out crap, and those movies that prove decent are starring the loudmouthed Hollywood idiots, which I refuse to support. On the flip-side, when ( Read more... )

This should fit the bill nicely, as I'm starting to get back into my politics stuff again (around all the other business that my schedule includes.

And yet another reason why the world can't afford socialism. You train people to suck at a government teat, and that's all they're good for. John Fund had a great article in the Wall Street Journal on the whole mentality, derived by Schroeder's win at the polls last week.

I'm at work, avoiding work right now. Blah. I was up till 2:30 a.m. last night with an aching stomach, so that didn't go well this morning when Dave called in sick. It's not that I actually CAN call in sick, as there is nobody here to replace me, just that it annoys me when I can see people taking sick days every couple of weeks, come in late, go ( Read more... )

I report this to Bruce, who whenever someone else has problems with their computers, attempts to get them fixed up in some way.

A great light of reason and dignity has just fallen dark.

May God grant this man peace in the next life, for the honor he has shown in this one.

Bless his family and loved ones.

Thank you for all you've done, and for the America you pass on to the next generation.

Melli decided that she wanted to dye her hair today, so she asked me what I wanted to see. Last time she did it, she darkened the brown in her hair, and that looked really good on her, but I didn't really have a preference. I didn't really know what she had in mind, but she wanted to try red. So we headed to Walgreens and found some bright copper- ( Read more... )

Okay, here's the update. Our story begins yesterday, where Eric wanders into the office bubbling with excitement, ready to face another bold, new, and exciting day at the office. Actually, it's nothing like that at all - his job is a fucking drag, which is for all intents and purposes a glorified secretarial position. He's a "project manager" but ( Read more... )

My IP Address is now on a block list. I can no longer access the internet from my workstation at TechServices. This pisses me off, as I'm the only person that is here on a regular basis. Everyone goes out, service calls, comes in late, leaves early. Half the time in the office, it's just me. Alone. Answering phones, receiving packages, doing work, ( Read more... )
