Today marks the start of a momentous occasion: my return to normal-people work hours. It happened a week early, which is good and bad. On the plus side, it’s one less week of zombie hours. On the down side, I was planning on having some free days this week, so I’ll have to re-arrange some things. I [...]
I absolutely love that it’s light out when I get home from work right now. Speaking of work, today was the first day on the job. More or less exactly what I expected, a little better in some spots. I’m sure I’ll have more to say about this at some point in the not-too-distant future. For now, [...]
So tomorrow I have an interview. It’s my second with this particular company. The first one was with the guy who will be my manager if I go to work there. Tomorrow’s interview is with him and the CEO. This specific company is a web hosting company, but my job would be software development rather [...]
I don’t often blog about work, primarily because that really squicks out HR folks (you should’ve seen the absurd blogging policy the old company had) and old folks haven’t really figured it all out yet so they’re afraid of the unknown.

So, for those of you who stalk me are friends with me on Facebook, you might have already come to hear about the biggest news in the World of Pete this week. Specifically: I was fired on Monday. No, it wasn’t economy related (I don’t think), and I really had no idea it was coming. [...]

NOTE: This post was supposed to run during fall break, but due to some technical issues, it didn’t. Oops. I’ve been slacking off lately, but it’s fall break, so here are some updates. I was finally on a winning team for the annual PILF Softball tournament. After two years of finishing second, I finally won. Our team [...]
This morning, for no good reason whatsoever, I woke up. As though that were not bad enough, I woke up at 7:00am. For no good reason whatsoever. Now, on most weekdays prior to this one, I’d have had a pretty good reason… Starting today, though, it was inconvenient for my good reason to be online… this [...]
So today at work as an interesting day which caused me to really appreciate this Penny Arcade Comic. Long story short: a huge database was corrupted and we didn’t have a good backup. So four or five people have to re-enter a week’s worth of data. That must suck. On the way to lunch today there was [...]
