Why should I stay?
After that last post, that would be a no-brainer, but I failed to mention that I have no intention of maintaining the status quo. This is the right question, though, and it's a question I would have to ask my boss. Do I even want to ask him, though? What I'm really trying to decide is whether to even give them the opportunity to keep me around, or ( Read more... ) -
Moving on?
Thought I'd come back to this venue to put down some thoughts as I weigh a possible big change. I haven't kept it a secret from many people that I haven't been happy with my employment for quite some time. I've been working in this exact same office doing the exact same thing for just shy of five years, and finally there's an out. Of course, ( Read more... ) -
Happy New Year?
I don't want to go to synagogue tonight. It's Rosh Hashanah, which is generally considered a time that even the barely-observant go. I just don't want to. I knew a long time ago that I identified more with the Jewish culture than the Jewish spirituality. I don't think I've ever felt any spirituality, in fact. Over the years, even the cultural ( Read more... ) -

Why do I always end up neglecting the blog!?
I want to blame it on the fact that this is my "secondary" blog, where I'm a little more anonymous and haven't really told most people about. The primary blog is the one my family knows about, where I am supposed to write about travels, and exciting things, and my house. But I can't really cite that excuse, because I haven't updated that one ( Read more... ) -
Oh, well there's a thought
So, I'm still in the market/on the prowl/fishing the sea/looking for a date, and I just had this flash of insight, and I wonder why this never really occurred to me before. Oh, and I wonder if it matters. I don't know when I started to feel like I should be looking for someone Jewish, but at some point, something switched, and it wasn't until ( Read more... ) -
Followup
I just noticed that my last post was back in July when I got stood up by a girl from my hometown and I thought I'd post an update for posterity. I never did hear back from the girl. She was really so apologetic about the whole thing that I really did expect her to return my call to reschedule (she was the one who said I should!). She didn't. ( Read more... ) -
ow, my dignity
Well, it was bound to happen someday. For the first time, i got stood up. Granted, she sounded sincere in her appology and her desire to reschedule. But when it's all said and done, fact is I went to dinner and the girl I invited didn't show up. Not the best first date, but actually, I have had worse ( Read more... ) -
two-for-one
In one sentence, I will acknowledge two things I don't like to admit. I was trying to find a new "primary" picture for match.com, but I don't seem to have any good shots of me without a drink in hand.
[EDIT] I don't know what "make acknowledge two things I don't" means, nor why it posted that way, since I tend to post complete and sensible ( Read more... ) -
My Life With a Mac
Got the office to hook me up with a MacBook, for training purposes. More and more people are coming to me for Mac help, and I haven't really worked with these since my old Mac LCII, back in the early 90s. OSX is really different from System 7, but I'm digging some of this. The device itself is pretty sleek (the isight camera, mag-safe power, etc ( Read more... )
