In which my financial situation gives me The Dread whenever I think about it, which is not very often. Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt. Last night, my roommates went to see Clapton in Moline, IL so I had the whole blessed house to myself for the evening. I sat in front of the […]
In which this is all the news that’s fit to print, and it ain’t much. We had friends over so I stayed up way too late last night, and now I’m sleepy. You’d think someone pushing 40 would have figured out how to go to bed on time, but no. I act like a little […]
In which it is really entirely too damned nice outside. The weather is gorgeous. Breezy, warm, balmy, just gorgeous. The lawns have turned emerald green in the past three days. I’m wearing a strappy backless hippy dress, people. It’s wonderful. It also makes me fear for the upcoming summer. It’s only March and it’s acting […]
In which I get totally incensed about something for, like, ten minutes and then totally get over it. Today I logged into the Drive web site to pay my auto insurance premium. My ex and I are still on the same policy, and he’s always asking me about the account when he’s here dropping Truck […]
In which no news is good news! Today at work I’m listing some of the company’s extraneous hardware on eBay. It’s pretty fun, but the boss is out of the office right now so I don’t know if he wants me to put reserves on the switches or not. Next I’ll be meticulously unfucking a […]
In which it’s a beautiful day. It’s gorgeous out. Gorgeous! Warm and breezy and balmy. If I weren’t still so pleased to be employed, I’d be bitching about wanting to go outside and play! The site I mentioned yesterday went down about five minutes after I posted, and is still down. I wonder if I […]
In which I miss the loss of unlimited naptime, but otherwise feel pretty damn positive. Bonus: includes the return of nested parentheses! Overheard at work today: “Yeah, I understand that. I just don’t understand how a buffer overflow translates to root access.” (Rampant nerd-speak! I love my job!) I spent about eleventy hours this weekend […]
I which I totally agree. According to my roommate Truck, these are the four dirtiest syllables in the English language: cocktail weenie “Because,” he explains, “the phrase ‘cocktail assfuck’ would just be redundant.” In other news, goblinbox.com will turn six years old on Friday!
In which I feel a change a-coming. It’s official. I didn’t get the office manager job. (I think the HR woman wanted to hire me but got overruled, but that’s just a gut feeling and I may have manufactured it to make myself feel better. I wanted that job, damn it.) I’m going to drive […]
In which I complain. I need a simple, clean, working 3-column WP theme (because I’m tired of the one I’ve been using for the past two years or so!). Today I went to the Theme Viewer, searched for Widget-ready 3-column themes, downloaded six of them, and tested them out. Three didn’t work at all — […]
