Sick.
I have the death. I actually called in sick yesterday. I've been working there a year and-a-half, and this is the first time I've ever called in sick. As luck would have it, today is my day off (so I don't have to call in again ( Read more... ) -
Look Away to Dixieland (and you will see my house).
Since moving to Lumberton, I've been missing Houston more than ever.
On my way to work, right next to Infant Jesus Catholic Church, there's a mobile home dealership whose billboard reads "If you can beat our prices, there's not a cow in Texas."

In My Own Skin Again
I don't have to do anything for Valentine's Day. I cannot express in words how happy that makes me. I give the concept of love the finger.
I almost have internet at home. I'll spare everyone the gory details of Time Warner Cable's ineptitude... if you've ever experienced it (and I imagine that most of you have), suffice it to say that they're ( Read more... ) -
One more inch...
Bought a $50 wireless NIC, got my computer moved and set up, found out that I do have free wireless, but it sucks. It's most likely one of my Mom's neighbors who has a wireless home network and isn't smart enough to firewall it (or use a broadband router).

A little kick in the teeth.
I didn't get the DoT job.
I got a letter in the mail saying something to the tune of "Although you were not selected, you are encouraged to apply for other jobs with us..."I'm a little miffed that I wasn't even interviewed, but I take solace in that it probably means they already had someone picked out for the job and were just posting it for ( Read more... ) -
