My cousin Amber has a son Ivan who has LCA, which in short means that he is blind. I met Ivan for the first time this weekend and I am struck by the differences in parenting styles between blind and sighted children. I am sure that her job is harder. In most respects she will have to do more work to get him to the point where Ivan will be able to ( Read more... )

My grandfather (the only one that I have known), is in the hospital. He was bleeding internally for no known reason. He passed out one day and the blood started appearing in his stool. I talked to my mother the day that she emailed us to tell us and I was here (Connecticut) the next day ( Read more... )

So when Andy quit about a month ago he didn't just screw us by not giving us any notice. He tried to destroy part of the database. Me being a network admin for a few years saved our database. People do this kinda shit all the time when they leave a job. He had tried to delete a couple of groups from our database that would have been integral for us ( Read more... )

Things keep waffling back and forth on my deals. First we are definately going to Texas and then I think that the debtor is dead. Then we are definately going to Texas again until I find out that they hired someone else.

I haven't been able to read LJ in almost 2 weeks and because of that I have more than 100 messages that I haven't gotten to read. This means that I either need more time or less friends and because I don't see work slacking up on me in the near future I am going to have to choose less friends ( Read more... )

So first I wanted a job. Sounds reasonable. But that wasn't enough, I wanted a good job. I looked I tried, I turned some jobs down, but eventually I found a good job. But that wasn't even good enough for me, I wanted a job with good career advancement and even though I didn't know I had that I still wanted it anyway ( Read more... )

The puppy is cute.
The trip was both too long and too short.
I need a vacation from my vacation.
I am tired.
Man... I write bad haiku's (joke).

So I just had a great conversation with Kristi about "what is stupid". This is an idea that I have been kicking around in my head for a while now (3-6 months) and has some merit.
