On Sunday, upon returning home from CK District Convention, I wrote an entry about it, and how well the club did. Missing the point entirely, a certain individual decided to tell me just how much I suck. It appeared that this individual was Grace, an LTG here in the Alabama District, and there were some not-so-kind [...]

Today I woke up quite naturally (that is, to the call of a telemarketer) well before noon. I got out of bed, finished burning some CDs, installing some software on the computer, chatted on AIM for a while, and then decided to get to work. At work I’ve been learning C#. Now, I’m not a big [...]

I’ve never been a big fan of this day. In fact, I think I dislike it more when I’m actually seeing someone. Why? Because it has to be one of the most sexist holidays celebrated anywhere in the country. I mean… when was the last time you saw a valentines day commercial for power tools, [...]

A few days ago I wrote about an interview that I had for a programming position here at the university. After that, I had basically decided that I wasn’t going to take the job because I didn’t really have time to work during the day when I assumed the office would be open and I [...]
