In to work at 9:00… hoping to get some things done and then head off to class. I should’ve known better. Before I knew it, my to-do list was huge and it was 11:30. So I guess this hasn’t been a great week for class… but I sure have gotten a lot of work done. [...]
Every day, like clock-work, an idiot will accost me with their idiocy. Today was no different. Observe: Today’s Idiot: Why is the tag office closed so early? Me: Well, it is nearly 4:45. 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. [...]
If you ever walk into City Hall, you’re in the lobby. It’s a nice lobby. There are really about five options you have in that lobby. An empty conference room. A hallway to the other end of city hall A set of heavily windowed double-doors A deeply recessed, almost hidden, door My office door (which is usually open) I know this [...]
Well, well, well. It’s Tuesday and I’m somewhat bored. There is, of course, stuff to do at work, and I’m trudging along through that (slowly) but I’m not finding anything terribly interesting to read or write. Pity. I missed my first class of the semester yesterday. Had some other things to do and didn’t feel like [...]
It’s been a slow day. Nobody that I’ve needed to talk to has been in the office. It’s somewhat gloomy outside, sprinkling a bit. I’ve not found much worth reading on the blogs this morning, either. Damn shame, that. Did something funky to my hip flexor at practice on Tuesday which caused a bit of a [...]
Well, we’re all one more week closer to death. Happy Friday! Could be a busy day here at the office, but I’ve got a couple of posts lined up to go throughout the day. I’m going to take another shot at getting a job today — I’ve been by the restaurant a few times, and the [...]
So the inaguration is today, and I’ve been watching CSPAN-2 over the ‘net and listening to the crazy protestors. It’s fun. Want to know what I found out? “All” of the money for collegiate student loans is going to pay for the “stupid war” in Iraq… that’s really disappointing, since I thought I had gotten enough [...]
