I'm sick and it's gay. I'm not like incapacitated or anything, just sick enough to be cranky about it and not really want to do anything. It's crappy. I've been drinking orange juice and Erin got me some dayquil yesterday, and I think at least one of those is helping. I did have a brief but disturbing nosebleed this evening, though. That was ( Read more... )

So, tonight I have staring me in the face the first two-day weekend I've had since I moved here, which, if you haven't been paying attention, was a hell of a long time ago. I don't know if you guys have ever worked at least six days a week for six months, but I'm pretty excited about the weekend. I was going to say "...but it sucks," at first, ( Read more... )

Hey, it's christmas!

We got up early and opened presents this morning. Erin got me the new Band box set, along with the Last Waltz box set that she gave me in time for Thanksgiving, so I've got pretty much their entire boxed output, even though I'm still missing most of their regular albums. Isn't that weird? And I got her a guitar. It was a ( Read more... )

So, it's almost christmas. That means work is pretty much gay every day. My boss was in town yesterday and today, which was okay. I was afraid he was going to lay into me about some stuff, but apparently none of it was as bad as I thought, and we spent most of the day looking into some fraudulent money orders that we took, anyway. I'm looking ( Read more... )

I managed to get out of the parking lot without much incident this morning. It took a while to clean the snow off my car, and I was afraid the dunes of snow behind it were going to be a problem, but I pretty much just backed up until my car stopped moving and then I was able to pull out. It was a little terrifying to drive to work with peolpe ( Read more... )

Today it snowed here more than I have ever seen in my life. Possibly more than I have ever seen in my life combined. I'm not really used to having real snow...even St. Louis wasn't that big a deal, so when people here say it's going to snow, I'm just like, "Pfft. Whatever." As it turns out, I don't really have any concept of what 5-7 inches of ( Read more... )

So, ever since I got my computer and got the wireless stuff all set up, the internet's been pretty shifty around here. I don't know if the neighbor with the wireless router is having power outages or what, but it's lame. I keep thinking about actually posting, and then I sit down and there's no internet. It would be pretty funny if it stopped ( Read more... )

So, Thanksgiving was pretty cool. Gravymonster flew up to hang out and we had Thanksgiving the way we've wanted to do it for a while, which was to make a big dinner and watch The Last Waltz and drink and hang out. Which, admittedly, is what we do when we hang out anyway, except that it happened to be on Thanksgiving. Also, it snowed. Thanksgiving is one of ( Read more... )

Holy shit, I am typing this on my new computer.

I still don't have my new computer. I ordered about an hour after the last time I posted, which was roughly eleven days ago. Prior to that, the computer I was going to order (I got it through tigerdirect.com) was in stock, available, and was to ship immediately. So I go to work and I log on, and it says that now they ship in 7-21 days. I figure ( Read more... )
