We've finally finished putting up all the christmas decorations. We havn't had a tree for probably 3 years, and this year Jen got bit pretty hard by the christmas bug. She was thinking all sorts of cool things to decorate the house. So, we went out and got one of those tree that comes with the lights pre-strung. We decided on a "themed" tree of ( Read more... )

I actually got some work done yesterday. I did my usual perusing of webbage for a couple of hours, but I actually had some motivation to finish up the thing I had been procrastinating on. So I went into the lab and spent pretty much the rest of the day there fiddling. Updated the record with my new-found info and it was time to go home. It felt ( Read more... )

Today promises to be another grueling, dark, damp, foggy, wet day. I hate days like these. I know they have to happen sometimes, but winter is just not the right time. Maybe if we could have cold, wet, foggy weather in the middle of summer. That would be nice. Cool off the air a bit for a nice cool evening. But in the middle of winter, when ( Read more... )

We went up to Ohio to my parent's place for Turkey Day. Jen's work gives her either a ham or a turkey, free, every year. So, we took the turkey and drove on up. It was frozen when we got it. At 3:30pm on Wednesday. We left it out of the cooler in hopes that it would thaw a bit on the 6-hour drive. It was still frozen. Solid. So, big pot, ( Read more... )

So I went on a not-really-interview yesterday. This company had been airing spots on the radio station I listen to in the mornings, saying they're having a job fair. Lots of positions mentioned, including one for me. So, I cut out of work early, rush home, throw on my suit (DAMN I look good when I clean up!), and rush out to the place ( Read more... )

I still havn't done anything with my resume. I still havn't done MUCH at work. I keep finding ways to distract my attention away from both. All week. I do have some stuff I can do at work now,though, so that's good ( Read more... )

God there is just so much to do. We thought after the wedding, we'd have plenty of free time. But with my brother's wedding, then going to Ohio, then going to Albany, then Thanksgiving, and now Aunts and Uncles visiting,we just don't have any free time anymore ( Read more... )

I'm being my typical procrastinating self. I hate that. I need to get my resume posted, need to start looking seriously and answering job postings. I need to get on the ball with this because the market sucks so bad right now it will probably take 2 months just to get a damned interview. But for 3 days straight I've wandered the web, chatted ( Read more... )

I went to Indianapolis this past weeken for my brother's wedding. My brother and I have had this hot/cold relationship ever since we were teenagers. I didn't really like him at all back then. He was popular, always with the ladies, had cool clothes, etc. I was some dork geek of a younger brother that had only 2 or 3 really good friends, and just ( Read more... )

So, this is my first journal entry. I remember trying to do a journal in High School as an English class assignment. I didn't get very far. It ended up being inane babblings and just plain ol' crap. Sometimes not too far from my every day life, I suppose ( Read more... )
