My boss’s boss (the controller for those in the know) told my boss (payroll supervisor) that I’m doing a good job in payroll and “I don’t let the stressful parts bog me down”. I guess talking to him privately to apologize for my comment that the IT manager’s wife, son and dog are smarter than…

Let’s make a fun list of great things about the Internet… 1) As previously noted, I met my husband on the Internet (if we’re counting AOL). 2) Found my belovedest beagles on the Internet (www.petfinder.com) 3) Was able to print out declaration sheet for auto insurance (www.progressive.com) and statement for 401k (retire.hartfordlife.com) instead of going…

Nah, I haven’t turned over a new leaf. Still cursing like a truck driver normally, just not now. It’s snowing — or it was snowing. There’s maybe a rockin’ inch on the ground, just enough to get us to the grocery store for the first time in awhile. Yes, we bought bread, eggs and milk….

AOL has informed me that they are no longer going to offer Usenet Newsgroups as of “early in 2005” — apparently that’s going to be in February. Since Usenet is one of 3 things I do on AOL anymore (the others are IM one of my blog readers and read The Knot), I think it’s…

Blog readers, can you tell that I love Fridays? So, since I last posted: Wednesday night I updated my IPod, adding a bunch of music and getting rid of some as well. Right now my IPod is half full with over 500 songs on it, including the entire Fleetwood Mac and Steely Dan boxsets. Take…

Great weekend — Sunday we mostly just bummed around the house. Got laundry done, finished watching the Inauguration (Shh, don’t tell my mom) and a few random things from the PVR. Today at work was …. fun. (No, not really). Old boss spammed the hell out of me with questions about the insurance bills. Most…

So we went to a tapas restaurant with our friends Ross and Liz. It was supposedly a very hip restaurant, so I was nervous about how to dress, but it wasn’t super crowded. The food was delicious and we were all super full. Also, the bill wasn’t nearly as much as the bill at Sullivan’s…

Before I left for work I gave Gene a hug and told him I loved him. I decided it was important to not leave mad (like the theory about not going to bed mad). Now we’re going out to dinner with our friends Ross and Liz. Fun fun fun!

I think the house is selling. and the lady hasn’t even SEEN it (in real life). oh, WOW. Yes, the house went on the market TUESDAY. oh, WOW.
