A few hours ago I did something that's terrifying me to death. I tendered my resignation at work. I am staying through the end of March to train the new hire and to assist with the harder parts of my job which are coming up. I'm moving with no job and a ton of financial obligations, but after having been back over Christmas and the events that ( Read more... )

So, I want a new desktop. I've looked at various brands online and retail offerings. It seems I can never quite get what I want. However, I saw iBUYPOWER on the Costco website this morning and gave them a visit. From the few reviews of this companies products, I have seen fairly favorable views. I can get almost everything I want in a price range I ( Read more... )

Not surprisingly, I'm single. I'll cry over it for the next week or two, but right now I'm just relieved.

Last night I had a dream that I was on trial. Not only was I on trial but it was  a congressional hearing (yeah, I know... makes no sense). In it, I plead guilty but I did so because the crime was done for a good reason.

So, the week after my "roommate" denies me the right to bring my bf over to just see where I live, he invites a friend over to stay without telling me in advance. I'm pissed! I don't care that he has someone over or that they stay. Not an issue. My issue is that he doesn't tell me the friend is going to be over for 10 days. I asked him this morning ( Read more... )

I want to transfer files from my desktop to my laptop.  How do I do that? Both have wifi and I can create a limited network using my laptop (Vista) which my desktop (XP) can see, but seemingly has trouble connecting to. I thought I did get a connection, but couldn't see how to transfer files from the desktop to the laptop. I temporarily turned on ( Read more... )

Things haven't really improved for me emotionally. Of course, that is going to be the case since I've done nothing to warrant change. My life is in a holding pattern of my own design. Frankly, I'm terrified of the changes I have coming up... new city, new home, new friends?, unemployment for whatever period, extremely limited funds from cashing out ( Read more... )

This is why I always wear a ball cap.

So, the self-imposed move date I have placed on myself continues to countdown and I'm still not sure where to go. Chicago is a great city with a ton of things to do, but my reason for moving here has since departed. I had made some very good friends in Chicago when I lived in Dallas. When the opportunity came about to live with one, I made the leap ( Read more... )

I'm in a relatively good mood this morning. I had an interesting dream about owning my own home... a rather simple brick ranch style... very 60's with a low ceiling. I had two dogs which I put outside and they found a secret room to get back in. I caught them coming in through a hole in the wall and it made me so happy they wanted to be back in. I ( Read more... )
