Due to some issues with the current employer, I’ve decided to take a position with an IT Consulting firm in Atlanta. I haven’t quite settled on a place to live yet, but I anticipate I’m going to end up near the Lindbergh Metra station in Buckhead (at least I think it’s in Buckhead, my Atlanta [...]
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.

TI: The sign says they close at 4:25. Me: Then I guess they’ve been closed for nearly 20 minutes. TI: *becoming perturbed* So they don’t work [...]
Attention fair citizens of Northport: It seems that my last plea for you to cease being mind-numbingly stupid has fallen on deaf ears. Deaf. Ears. And I do not mean “hearing impaired” — a phrase which seems to imply that there might be some semblance of hearing left… no, the ears on which that plea fell [...]
I can’t explain it, but today seems to be “bring your child to work” day. There are two little monsters running around. That’s a blatant exaggeration, because they’re actually on the far other end of the building, and not really running around… but anyway… today is also, apparently, wear questionable attire to work day. We [...]
Can you solve a simple problem? Are you capable of independent thought? Can you… deviate from a script at not so much as a moment’s notice? If so, I know of a software vendor that could use your skills on their software support team. I know as well as anyone that tech support is not easy. [...]
