I'm a Senior Developer! That's who I am.

I just got my 2 year review at Omega, and it came with a promotion! Woohoo! A pretty decent raise came with the position, too, which will help with the car trouble. My plans for world semi-domination are proceeding apace!

On top of that, mrs_ladybug's grandparent's just deposited a significant amount of money ( Read more... )

Maybe I'll post to this thing more often if I do smaller, everyday posts like razzle and bluestocking7. Let's see.

So, I have to do two technical interviews today at work. One of the interviews is for a guy who cancelled on us before. Actually, I'm supposed to do it in about 15 minutes, so I suppose I should get ready. Sigh ( Read more... )

Not the best of weeks so far. This being only Tuesday, my hopes are dimmed for the rest of the week. Only time will tell.

The car... she is dead. Just as mrs_ladybug and I arrived at BayFront Medical Center Sunday to visit tirephus, his girlfriend and their new daughter, our car died. We pulled into the parking lot, the car died, and we coasted into the nearest ( Read more... )

After consulting with my lovely wife mrs_ladybug, I've decided to grow my hair out. I think I'll probably let it go to the jaw line. My hair is really thick, and jet black, so, with the beard, I think it should be an interesting look. We'll see.

The company I work for has been bought!! A company called First Advantage bought Omega a couple of days ago, ( Read more... )

Ok, I'm going to pretend that it hasn't been months since I last posted. AAAAAaaaaaaand.... here we go.

Quick rundown of events:
Metrocon was fun. I slept for a total of 4 hours over three days. I mostly played games - games that involved dancing, swinging my arms, drumming, keyboards, and vegetables. And, of course, fighting. There was ( Read more... )

Holy crap on a stick! I'm posting! Hurry, run to the mirror and check your forehead for numbers. If you go outside, watch out for horsemen and falling bits of sky. This is bound to be trouble.

Meanwhile, across town...

mrs_ladybug and I have recently entered the gravitational field of a money black hole. There we were, not too long ago, cruising along ( Read more... )

mrs_ladybug and I went to the gym for the first time in a while yesterday. I'm not sure if I didn't stretch well enough, or if I pushed myself too hard, but I've got this really annoying pain in my chest whenever I bend the wrong way. To clarify, there are very few right ways I can bend. Sigh. All in the name of weightloss.

We've also been watching I, My ( Read more... )

Well, here I am at work, with nothin' to do. My boss left about an hour ago, so all I really have to do is clean up my computer and tool around. Not that I'm complaining ( Read more... )

A friend of mine (Hi, Justin!) referred to this journal as a "blog" recently. For some reason, I never thought of it that way. And for another reason I can't quite fathom, that seemed odd to me. Maybe part of me associates "blog" with "Internet", and I've never really considered myself part of it before. Maybe I just never considered myself a " ( Read more... )

Well, I've got a little time after work before I have to go to a class, so I thought I'd post a little something here.

Last night, I spent many hours poring over loan and bank statements and came to the realization that we (that is, mrs_ladybug and myself) don't have enough to start paying back my school loans. This is unfortunate, since the holders of ( Read more... )
