Hooray for getting absolutely buttfucked by my job. Pretty much the whole world knows that Atlanta got snowed in last weekend. At out place in Stone Mountain, we still have a large quantity of ice on the road to get out of the neighbourhood. It's been a week. I braved the ice wednesday and made it in to work, but it was not a pleasant trip. The sun ( Read more... )

Man, I haven't posted here in a while. Anyway, Life is going. I'm up in Atlanta (Stone Mountain technically), and I love it. My job really kind of sucks, but there isn't much I can do about it. I've been looking to get something better, but even though people are saying that everything is picking up, there really haven't been all that many jobs ( Read more... )

A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have.[3] Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapors; you can sleep under it ( Read more... )

So, Since Sakka did this, I think it's a pretty good idea. The idea here is that I can actually fill out the profile info in my phone so I can remember important info ( Read more... )

My birthday was Wednesday, and it was pretty good. Work was kind of boring, but nothing new about that. We are in one of the stages where we have to wait for stuff to be built to do more testing, and we are waiting for stuff to get in to actually build stuff. After work, my parents took me (and Nadia and my older sister Carrie) out to Shula's for ( Read more... )

So, I'm looking forward to the World Cup happening next month. I was just forwarded a great read about the teams in the tournament that has some great comparisons for US sports fans. The Unlikely FanIn other news, I ought to have an in person interview with HCT up near Atlanta soon. I apparently knocked the phone interview out of the park, as he ( Read more... )

So, I have a phone interview tomorrow, all though it may get pushed back until Monday, depending on the guys schedule. It's with a hydraulics company just south of Atlanta. It's a hydraulic engineer position, but it really is just looking for someone who knows engineering basics, and they will teach the hydraulics portion. It's also a growth ( Read more... )

So Lotus got back to me. They decided they didn't want me. Not that this is terribly surprising, as I am sure they wanted to hire from within the country, but it sucks a little anyway. However, it's been so long that I honestly was caught completely off guard about it. I really just figured they didn't want me oh, six months ago or something, when ( Read more... )

I swear, it's always my fault. Knowing that I am the problem doesn't make it any better, though. I just don't get it, never have, and probably never will. And then I get angry when something happens that I should have seen coming, but didn't, and I can't friggin let it go ( Read more... )
