People who act like the rules do not apply to them make me crazy. There was a man in front of me in line at Walgreen's and he had a coupon for $1.00 off transferred prescriptions. The coupon said "coupon valid only once per transaction". The fellow decided that this meant he could ring up all six of his meds separately and get a dollar off each ( Read more... )

I spent the weekend volunteering at MakerFaire. It is so much fun, you just have to experience it to believe it. I saw Vlad the Impaler get pwned by Original Sin in robotic combat to the death. I saw a giant mousetrap game. I saw a hundred people making things with Dremels. I saw R2D2. I saw a band play music with 2 giant tesla coils. I am going to ( Read more... )

So, I have been trying to get hired on at this particular company for about a year now. A position became available to which I am highly qualified.

I am so excited! I just landed a major technology client. I am starting to see visions of that new bed that we have been needing for 2 years!

My good friend Becca just celebrated her first year without cancer. It was such a difficult thing for her to go through and she was so tough. Her hair is grown into a short, curly cut and she is planning to be married in October.

So many times we hear about the bad news of disease and I wanted to share my joy with everyone. I am so proud of her.

So I have a friend who is in his first job after college. He just had a severe panic attack and I met him at the ER. He was sure he was having a heart attack. He works constantly. He stays late. He works on Saturday. He takes on the weight of the world. I think he believes that the company would fall apart if he was not there. In one of my first ( Read more... )
