In which I had entirely too much damned fun at the party, just like I knew I would, but oh holy FUCK my head hurts. And the word of the day is ‘bittersweet.’ I went over to Baby Girl’s yesterday afternoon intending to stay only long enough to firm up our transportation plans to the […]
In which some kinds of technology totally suck ass. I’m trying to call a vendor to get an RMA so I can return a faulty piece of equipment – a little 8-port router with 3 bad ports. The system either doesn’t like my phone (a Polycom VoIP phone) or is not functioning properly. For example, […]
In which I’m day-dreaming. A headhunter solicited me via email today. She’d found me through my Monster.com account. (At first I thought it was one of those work-at-home spam things, so I made fun of her last name – which is ‘Bedgood,’ and like you could have helped yourself in my situation – but apparently […]
In which I go on and on about crap like WP plugins and widgets and CSS. I have made this new template work! Yay! In more than one browser, even! YAY ME! It turns out that IE gets pissed if the math doesn’t work in one’s CSS; in other words, if your container is 800 […]
In which I love these Mac-and-PC commercials. I’m a Windows user, but that’s only because I’ve been really poor for a long time. When I get cash flow again, though, I’m buyin’ me a Mac. Widgets, gadgets, completely different things. LOL! Yeah, Vista’s nothing like OSX. NOTHING. LIKE. IT.
In which there’s a geek fest. I got an email today from Dr. Derrick over at ISU. (I don’t think we know each other, but he called me Mush.) Anyway, the point is the geeks will be partying at an event called IgniteIT and he invited me and asked me to let other geeks know. […]
In which there might be a parcel! My boss is out of town for a whole week and I was a busy bee today. I am probably going to have a drink with Raybo as soon as I leave the office. According to the UPS site, my new Pocket PC was out for delivery today! […]
In which I not only get paid but there’s a hot fudge sundae too, bitches! Work this week has been great even though I made collections calls and have inherited an assload of tedious projects. Collections here isn’t aggressive; it’s more of a hey-you’ve-been-carrying-a-balance-for-awhile sort of thing. The tedious projects are things that have not […]
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 […]
