It's been over a year since my last post here.  Not sure if anyone's even still reading this, but, just in case . . .

I sort of gave up on things here, after having it presented to me on more than a few occasions that my writing here tends to be a poster child for tl;dr ("Too Long; Didn't Read," for those unfamiliar with what that means). So, after ( Read more... )

Sorry, folks.  Have had no energy to give, after work and everything else.  None.  Work has eaten almost all of it, and anyone who's dealt with me for the last month and a half knows what an incredibly irritable grouch I've been.  I've not been posting here, I've not even been reading here . . . Yes, I basically disappeared again.  Many, many ( Read more... )

I just experienced a moment of Zen that I must share.

I was just finishing some work in the office of one our jail sergeants, and noticed a sign on her wall. On this sign was the following Katherine Hepburn quote: If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun. As I turn to my left, I look out a window, and see inmates in orange jump-suits ( Read more... )

More in-depth post soon. For now, just some quick hits: ( Some Bullets For On Valentine's (with apologies to Bullet For My Valentine fans) )

I’m testing out a program here called "zapys", a LiveJournal client for the Nokia N800. Figure this is as good a time as any to try to get some sort of an update together here. Fair warning that this will likely be another monster. After all, it's been, what, five or six months since my last update (not counting my voting PSA that seemed to ( Read more... )

Ugh! Over two months since my last post?! Well, not a lot of great interest has been happening, really, and I've been a bit mopey-moody again of late, but I should put something together to let folks know I'm still alive and breathing here ( Read more... )

Going to see if I can get an update in here. Even though I didn't wait the "traditional" two months, it's a pretty busy one.

( Work is still uber-busy. )

I've intended to get this done for a few weekends now, keep getting kicks in the butt from folks who want me to keep this darned thing updated, but, well, time just sort of keeps getting away from me. So, now it's actually a Monday, and I am off early from work because I had to go in early. I hate waking up early, but, I have to admit, the little ( Read more... )

Well, as I expected, I heard back on the permanent job after the Memorial Day weekend. (According to ATSI, the decision had already been made last week, so my suspicion that they would hold off on telling me until after I'd worked the holiday appears to have held true.) I didn't quite expect them to tell me so quickly after the holiday, though, ( Read more... )

Went to see the new Indiana Jones movie today. Liked it all right, though if this was the version of the script with the weird crap dialed back a bit . . . uhm . . . Yeah. I'll refrain from further spoilers, except for one very minor scene from the movie that has nothing to do with the plot. Basically, Indy is reminiscing with a friend the ( Read more... )
