In which you experience part of my day. Phone rings. I answer, “Technical support. May I help you?” A person immediately starts a harangue. She does not identify herself. She opens with, “Your message is wrong, because I live in Dayton and my Internet is down!” and ends with “There’s nothin’ comin’ on here at […]
In which there’s a whole new type of Polaroid in my collection! This camera takes a kind of film that is no longer being made, the remainder of which is all expired and which costs between $2 and $7 per shot. So naturally, I shot an entire pack of it in the bar last night.
In which Charlie just ups and gives me a whole entire box of old cameras. So this happened yesterday: That’s four Polaroids! And a Kodak! And three packs of Spectra! OMFG!
In which I accidentally buy a Kindle Fire. I did not need a new device. My Kindle 3 (the model now known as the “Kindle Keyboard”) isn’t even a year old yet, and it works just fine. After I sprung (sprang?) for the expensive but elegant and cleverly-designed OEM leather cover with the built-in light, […]
In which there’s a post of no interest to anyone who does not wear acrylic nails. Sunday I went to my favorite nail salon, LT Nails, over on Issacs street, for a fill. “A fill” is the procedure in which, after your nails have been growing out for two or three weeks, they “fill” the […]
In which I’m not looking forward to the upcoming Even Greater Depression. 1. Fox News lies regularly, and this behavior isn’t even illegal. The country is fractured, and it’s partialy because news reportage is terribly damaged. The people who watch one station honestly believe the people who watch another station are insane because they can’t […]
In which I am baffled by many of the people I speak with. As you may be aware, I’m back in tech support. If you read my tweets you may occasionally get the idea that I don’t like it, but I do! I’ve been doing it off and on for a dozen years, and I […]
In which I get to play with tools. My awesome job not only came complete with a window office, a title, and a space heater, it also came with TOOLS. I have custody of the freakin’ tool bag. It lives in my office. I do not have to ask to borrow a Phillips head. This […]
In which I basically just link to a bunch of research. At the Peony the other day, I was discussing my weight loss with a couple of women who were asking me how I’d done it. I gave them my blood sugar/insulin/refined carbs spiel, during which I said, “Honestly, dietary fat needn’t be avoided. You […]
