when they found out that I repair all small engines, some of my car repair customers are clamoring for me to tune up their lawnmowers too! I think I will have to draw a line here, as doing this much work will start to infringe on the time I set aside to do my homework. I already have a lawnmower done, and two more on the way, but I think that ( Read more... )

I had an idea:

At the next Oktoberfest, I will dress up in a brown shirt and lederhosen, put on a brown Bavarian hat with a fake plastic turd on it, and hang a sign around my neck that will read "Der Scheissmeister." I will then stand outside the men's room and say to all inebriated men walking in:

Friends,

It has been a very long time since I updated this. I was amazed that I hadn't forgotten my LJ password. I have been busily, and happily, married. Busier and happier than I have ever been in my whole life. This is what I have been up to.

I am, as you might know, back in Mechanical Engineering at UMBC. The detour of my life that was my ( Read more... )

Also, the ( Read more... )

I was bombarded with Jenna Jameson pictures on the office computer due to some very persistent malware that kept popping up, despite having Norton Firewall and antivirus on in full force.

I got a call yesterday from my insurance adjuster while I was at work. She said that it took them a while to determine the amount to pay, but the check went out in the mail yesterday ( Read more... )

Saima's spring break began as mine was ending. She's in North Carolina to visit her older sister at UNC and will be there all next week, while I'm in class and at work. This sucks very much. I don't like being alone at all. Saima I can talk to every night and relieve the stress of the day, otherwise I sit in front of this computer and feel ( Read more... )

I was driving on Route 1 to my medical billing class at 6:30 in the evening, when I got rammed by a white Ford truck in Laurel. Fellow gets out, says "you ok?" I said, "yeah, but I'd like to see your insurance information, and I'll give you mine." He says, "sure, just pull into that parking lot right there, and I'll follow you." I complied, ( Read more... )
