I'm not really sure what caused it, but I was getting onto I-95 south, coming from 295 south (or whatever the road is called there) and as I was merging into the second lane, I heard what I thought was a rock go around my wheel well, and then an odd thumping sound. I quickly got into the shoulder, which isn't very wide at that point, and checked. ( Read more... )

This being the day after Easter, and with schools being on spring break, the office is pretty empty. I have my room (which normally has 4 people in it) all to myself. My boss is taking the day off. Only person here who would have any work for me is my supervisor, and I've pretty much transitioned everything I work on to other people, so I really ( Read more... )

I've been waiting on a start date for me to switch over to my new team at work. The lady who called me 2 weeks ago offering me the job was supposed to call me to tell me what my start date was, but usually that happens within a day or two of the initial offer.

I guess it comes from having parents who grew up in other countries, and are not used to the idea of going for regular checkups/cleanings. I had one obvious cavity that was bothering me, so I went in early February to get that ( Read more... )

I've been avoiding posting here only because I had been hoping my next post would contain information about that job interview I had several weeks ago. As of today, I still have not heard anything official. Several higher ups in my current chain of command have told me that they heard I was selected, but I have heard nothing from the other chain of ( Read more... )

I am not really sure when I started playing, but it was definitely after I started dating Katie. She got me into the game World of Warcraft, and ever since, it has sucked countless hours out of my life. I used to go to the gym during lunch and after work religiously. When I was traveling for work, I would make use of the hotel gym or go running ( Read more... )

I'm sure I have posted this song before, but I am going to post it again, only because it makes me happy :)

Favorite Sarah song ever (well, maybe the remix of this song is better...)
