So, I have to get a Super Important Payroll Certification sometime in the next year if I want to keep my job. After a day like today, I’m rather meh on the whole thing anyway. But anyway, this certification is awarded by passing a Super Hard Test That is Very Very Difficult. (Jesus Christ, American…

Restaurant Week finale (only a week late!)
Last Friday, Gene and I ate at a seafood restaurant that is owned by a company that owns a few other local restaurants here in Cheesecake City. I started with a melon and cherry tomato salad and Gene had gazpacho. Gene’s gazpacho was better, especially because he had it two nights in a row (two…
Beavis & Butt-Head Sneak Peek
This is good at the start (I love it when Beavis does his “Cornholio” routine) but even better in the last 2 minutes, when the boys comment on an episode of Jersey Shore. Get More: Beavis and Butt-Head, MTV Shows
Restaurant Week Updates…
So today we went completely ‘off road’ and didn’t order anything on the special restaurant week menu. Partially because the special menu came with a glass of wine (I probably shouldn’t drink since I’m whacked out on amoxocillan) and partially because we’d had all of their appetizer choices and were feeling rather meh about all…
Cheesecake City Restaurant Week…
So, we are in the middle of Restaurant Week and here’s how it’s going: Last Friday, we went to the Melting Pot. Yummmmy. The special right now is Latin American so all of the meat had a special spice to it. As we did with the winter edition of Restaurant Week, we are determining a…
A few words on journalism…
So, I’ve been reading a bit about the News of the World scandal in the UK (that seems to be spreading to the US) and it just occurred to me…after all of this is over, do you think there will be room for ethical, decent journalists? Not liberal, not conservative, but interested in reporting stories…
Other stuff too
1) Of course we’re not moving to Indianapolis. Someone just likes to get my hopes up by dangling job postings in front of me and then ::boom:: snatching them away. Because who wouldn’t want to live in the south, where between us we have 1 friend and zero family members? 2) You know what sucks?…
Random Things…
Here are two things that bug me: 1) When school teachers misspell words on their Facebook updates. I really do fear for the future. I mean, holy cow, they aren’t updating their statuses in Latin for crying out loud. That said, I made about a dozen typos in the last 25 words, so whoops. Karma,…
on the move? probably not…
Every few years, Gene forwards me an email from upper management about jobs that need to be filled… remember the time he wanted to go work for a data center in Afghanistan? This time it’s an account where we’d live in either Washington DC or…. Hmm, some city I think I flew over once… Chicago?…
So, let’s talk about stuff!
Yes, it is nearly 1 AM and I’m awake. Hooray. Our trip to Indiana was great except for the too short part. One of the highlights for me was running around town with just my mother. While on the hunt for a parking spot, I drove past a mother and daughter (about our ages) and…
