In which this website would be in fifth grade now, if it were human. GOBLINBOX.COM is nine years old today. It’s been on at least seven different servers. It’s been hand-coded, it’s been run on Movabletype and WordPress. It’s had ten different forums. There have been as many as eight different databases at a time. […]
In which I flail around a bit more because apparently I’m a bit of a moron. When you’re fourteen, you go to high school. That’s just what you do; everybody knows this. When you’re eighteen, you go to college. After college, you go to work and strive to pay off your student loans. Eventually, you […]
In which it was really exciting there for a minute, but then my hopes were dashed. I found a job under Tech Support on craigslist. It looked good. I scrolled down to the bottom of the page and clicked the link to apply for it. After I finished the online quiz – five fairly interesting […]
In which I drop by briefly on my way to a gig. The co-op finally emailed Friday afternoon: they thanked me but declined, deciding instead to hire from within. I am having a full-on romance, complete with poetry and chocolates and necking and stuff. It’s awesome. We’re apart this weekend, though, because we’re both gigging […]
In which there’s no new job, but there is a new beau. The co-op hasn’t called. My last contact with them was on January 19th; it’s been nearly three weeks. If they were going to hire me, they’d have done so by now. I’ve been applying for three jobs every week just like I’m supposed […]
In which I’m not really having a very good day. I got a heads-up yesterday that I was going to be laid off today so I did the right thing last night and cleaned up my work computer, uninstalling silly applications and clearing browser caches and passwords and blah blah blah. Today I went in […]
In which I totally don’t even work for Facebook, but you’d never know it by listening in on my calls. Me: …this is Michelle, how may I help you? Caller: Is there something wrong with your network in Idaho? Me: No sir, there are no current known service outages. What symptoms are you experiencing? Caller: […]
In which I’m suddenly considering where I might be living next Spring. 1. Dear Walla Walla: It snowed. YESTERDAY. And today, the streets are still full of snow! Why don’t you plow when it snows? What the hell is wrong with you?! 2. For reasons I haven’t been working here long enough to understand but […]
In which my fucking browser ate my post so I had to write the whole thing all over again! Gah! So NOW this post is totally an exercise in Weird Tense. It’s a good thing I majored in Literature, y’all, or we’d never make it through this. Yeah, so I’d started out today’s missive with […]
In which I bitch about my current work schedule, but find some stuff to be excited about. I had yesterday off, which made it my Saturday. I have today off too, which means it’s my Sunday even though it’s your hump day. I hate my new work schedule, I really do. Let’s look at the […]
