Yeah, yeah, all y'all bust my chops 'cause I don't post enough. Sorry, my RL eats up any time I might have to journal much.....

So, I went from having *no* work in October to suddenly getting not one, but *4* web gigs at once. I've got 2 small customer sites (who paid half down in November and *still* haven't sent their pix and content), doing a ( Read more... )

Yep, I'm still here, and *look*, I'm posting twice in the same quarter!!! LOL ( Read more... )

::sigh:: I've been putting out resumes to various contractors and companies for almost a year now, since Gotmead.com can't seem to make enough cash to support itself, much less me, despite subscriptions, the stores, t-shirts and paid ads ( Read more... )

So, I think *everyone* gave me crap about not posting to my LJ while I was in Maryland this weekend.....LOL ( Read more... )

Hmmph. Just Hmmph. I like my friends. Even when I don't agree with them. Even when they don't agree with me. But I *cannot* and will not be a punching bag for someone who has a different personal priority list than me and tries to make me conform to it. Yes, we share an activity. Yes, we both enjoy it ( Read more... )

Well, as of this Monday, I have entered the high speed world of DSL. Sprint *finally* got around to upgrading our neighborhoods equipment (perhaps the monthly calls and visits to the regional office to bitch helped?) and we got ours Monday afternoon. I haven't even been home to enjoy it, since I'm in TN this week for my next-to-last travel gig. I'm ( Read more... )

Well, John got the job with Dannaher. He's getting paid the same, but I have to quit my traveling training job because he'll be on the road so much. This is a problem. Our budget demands two incomes. So what to do? I've put in with the company I'm training for to do other types of work, submitting a detailed proposal of my skills vs. their needs as ( Read more... )

John got a new job yesterday! This is a Good Thing, since his previous employer was having all sorts of shake ups, and being owned by a foreign company (in France, after being sold by one in Germany), the top owners don't much care what happens over here. Or so it seems. They have quarterly layoffs, then hire other people, then lay them off. Quotas ( Read more... )

I've been watching the debates. I watched the presidential debate last week (with no voice to yell at Bush due to too many days training!) and I'm watching the vice presidential debate now. I'm more convinced than ever I was that Kerry is the only choice we can make in the coming election. Bush seems to be a clueless nudge with a one-track line ( ( Read more... )

Am I the only one who thinks the Democrats are throwing the election? Why else bring on a cipher and a grasping asshole to take on Dubya and Darth Vader? Why refrain from responding to the outrageously forward attacks by the GOP? Why conduct a campaign that looks like its been organized by children? Dunno. But at the risk of sounding like a ( Read more... )
