I don't understand computers.

I was going to send a friend a link to our work website.  I typed into my Firefox browser  rossandwhite and then hit Ctrl-Enter (which adds the www. and the .com), and up pops a site for Engelhardt Enterprises.  I go and tell our AR/OM and the we go show our "IT" guy.  He types in our domain name and it comes up fine.  ( Read more... )

I  normally don't do this.  I normally don't tell people because then everyone starts to comment and try to be supportive, and it starts freaking me out.  I start to get overwhelmed, and my mind starts working overtime.  I get all kinds of questions.  Well, you get the point ( Read more... )

Had a strange dream, one that I haven't had before but it feels like possibly a new recurring theme, like driving with no brakes, or getting on the school bus with no shoes on, etc ( Read more... )

Got out of town on a boat
Goin' to Southern islands.
Sailing a reach
Before a followin' sea.
She was makin' for the trades

Whenever someone asks me what I do, I reply that I work for a small manufacturing company that builds "vehicle wash systems."  After a blank stare, I then add, "We build big car washes, except they're for trucks, trains, and buses."  That elicits a slightly less blank stare ( Read more... )
