In which I don’t have to be at work until one o’clock tomorrow afternoon. Due to a personnel change at work, I’m now going to be the closing technician. Starting tomorrow. Which is fine. You know how I feel about mornings. Trying to get a fixed schedule is proving to be difficult though, because I […]
In which I love my new job because they give me benefits! I started here at the ol’ ISP/CLEC three months ago last week, which made me eligible for not only the first health insurance I’ve had in a decade but also free DSL! Free! My dry loop was delivered by Qwest today. Oh yes […]
In which universe does this make any sense? Okay, so I don’t really know how wi-fi works. I assume it’s some sort of transmitter/receiver relationship like radio or old-style television. I figure there needs to be an appropriate amount of proximity and an inversely appropriate lack of obstacles between the two stations, but once you’ve […]
In which there’s a totally awesome t-shirt! Last week, VUBOQ posted a picture of his new bedazzled Storm Trooper t-shirt and I was totally all OMFGWTFBBQ!!!1! THAT IS SO BITCHIN’!!! and you know what he did? HE SENT ME ONE!!!:
In which there’s an amazing cake! Today was the office “comfort food” potluck. (I brought a casserole.) There are two birthdays in the office this month; mine is one of them. And Dani, whom I didn’t even know was a baker, brought in this fantastic cake: Isn’t that thing just freakin’ awesome?!?
In which there’s software and hardware and stuff. Today I updated three WordPress installations on my web server. And then I updated a bunch of WP plug-ins. And then I updated Mint, my stats app. And then I installed some Peppers. And then I ate Mexican food, because I didn’t get up early enough this […]
In which the office is loud and dusty. They’re taking out a wall in the office today. It’s noisy, which makes phone work a little rough, and the people who should be sitting in those two desks aren’t in the queue so it’s been busy (plus bills just went out so I’m in Billing Call […]
In which this will have to suffice! I was gonna write about my weekend, but it really needs a particular image to make the post work, but I still can’t send images from my phone to Flickr and I forgot the phone’s USB cable at home so I can’t get the image online until later. […]
In which you simply cannot make this shit up! LOL! CALLER #1 My caller wanted to “buy bandwidth… enough for, say, a thousand?” Me: “A thousand what?” Caller: “You know, people. Computers.” Me: “What, you want an OC-3 or something?” Caller: “Yeah, I have a T-i at one place.” Me: “You mean a T-1?” Caller: […]
In which I am acquiring things. I now have speakers and a UPS for my work machine. Still waiting on a proper desk and a second monitor. And a vid card. But still! Getting stuff! And my boss almost got me an ergo keyboard but they were $60 at Staples so I didn’t get one. […]
