In which there’s a little sculpture of a tooth! I had my crown installed today. It was a short and pleasant appointment. It’s just like a tooth, except it’s not a tooth. (The crown, not the appointment.) This is a picture of my temporary crown, which spent two weeks in my mouf. I made them […]
In which your most burning question is answered in a single sentence. Work is busy as fuck because I’m a one-person department and the general public, with whom I must deal daily, gets more and more bitchy and high maintenance every goddamned second, and I have a couple of projects I’m forever behind on so […]
In which I’m on vacation next week. This week, we upgraded the POP server at work and I’ve been busy as fuck. Next week I’m flying to California to see Mother and get my head on straight. I love getting on planes.
In which I wonder what my old age will be like. Yesterday, I read an opinion piece in the New York Times. It was a good man’s story: older, loyal, secure; then his company “restructured.” Now he’s been unemployed for years. He’s too old to get a job; he has a preexisting condition so he’s […]

In which I had a dental appointment today. Okay, so, all I wanted to do was pee the entire second hour I was in the chair. Really badly. But I couldn’t, because I was getting a fucking root canal. 1. Two and a half hours at the dentist. 2. DENTAL. Motherfucking. DAM. 3. Temporary filling: […]
In which I need a fucking root canal?! My appointment was at two o’clock. I naively expected to be out of there in about an hour, but I didn’t get back to my desk until a quarter past four. First of all, nobody told me about the smell. The drill wasn’t that loud nor did […]
In which I’m finally rid of my married name! I decided recently to get a passport. No real reason. I don’t have any travel plans, but one never knows — and I have the money just now so what the hell. Maybe I’ll get to India before I’m 50. Today I went to my second […]
In which there’s a tech support puzzle for you to solve. A customer calls in because she can’t send email. She can receive email and she can surf, so the connection is up. I walk her through the settings in the email client and have her correct the following: – SMTP server name field (it had had […]
