Tonight we had our second set of car prowls for this season at our rehearsal facility.  Three cars last time, and four tonight (including one that was hit the first time and was hit again).  I'm one of the "winners" who got to drive home with plastic taped into my busted-out rear door window.  Replacement cost will probably about $300, and I have a ( Read more... )

Man, today was rough.  First day of my "new" job - which is technically half-time for my old employer, only with different responsibilities.   I'm staring at numbers all day and there's not even anybody here to break the monotony.  Telecommuting didn't seem so bad before, but now it's like I'm totally cut off from the universe and not even mentally ( Read more... )
