Talked to my boss's boss today, Jeff Skilling (i think he's the leader of some 3 departments or something, one of which is IT). had a long talk with him about how things were going, and additionally we talked about his experience in the army. i've been thinking more and more about the armed forces lately, specifically the army and the navy. and ( Read more... )

Then it made me think about the father, at work, probably in some factory somewhere doing some thankless job and hating every minute of it-- not because the job sucks or his boss is a ( Read more... )

My new pasttime at work, while surfing the web trying to avoid boss aggro: www.google.com/ig

Very cool, built on AJAX. Also, literally tons of free pieces to plug in. Very very cool.

*Edit* This site is also very cool: It tells you how knuckle cracking works. Science! BOOM!

i need you now. i'm reaching out to you. i need your help. you are not listening.

this morning i had a near-death experience. i was eating my rice too fast since i woke up late for work. some of it collaborated and formed a ball of rice in my esophagus, and must have constricted my trachea. I could breathe, but only a little amount. so, i performed the heimlich on myself which helped a little bit. i kept doing it until the ( Read more... )
