Christmas Complaint
I guess I need new local friends. This year Danny and I decorated the heck out of the house inside and out. It was like the way a good mall would do it with moving things and scenes of winter villages and all. Yesterday we started tearing it all down and it makes me cry because despite invites to friends they all said we live to far out of town (12 ( Read more... ) -
Cold
Guess I’m getting old. I used to love winter, Skiing and Snowmobiling… I even have medals from ski racing… I was always out there.
But now, especially since starting the whole chemo thing a year and a half ago, all I really think about in the winter is how nice it would be to live in a warmer place for the winter.

Work... Seriously!
3 Trips to the RV park! At least I was able to get someone from facilities to give me a ride out there each time (1 trip in golf cart, 1 tip in enclosed and a/c'd Kabota, and one in GMC full size truck). So the first two were for WIFI problems which I never got resolved and the third was a guest that could not get cable TV to work in their trailer ( Read more... ) -

Less than one minute into my afternoon shift, Sunday, the only IT person on property at the Casino and the phone rings: "This is the front desk and we can not process credit cards and the reservation system isn't working right ( Read more... ) -
The Day After
Dateline: Saturday, Jan 14, 2012
It is the day after my birthday and I feel about the same as the day before. Perhaps that is because I did not go out and drink to much last night. In fact, I stayed home in the evening and relaxed after a day of running around getting new drivers license and plates for car and truck. Somehow I always forget about ( Read more... ) -
Tap Tap Tap... is this thing working?
Ok this is not what you thought. It's a bitch about... well more like a laugh than a bitch..about my job and the people i run into here. I work at a casino in the IT department. That means most of my time is not out on the casino floor and the more i stay away the more i like it. But just a little while ago I had to go out and service one of our ( Read more... )
