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…
Dog Food Dumbass…
So. Three dogs sure do eat a lot of dog food! Last month, apparently on May 29, I ordered about 6 different kinds of dry dog food. The dog food store that was literally at the front of my neighborhood went out of business (sad), but the puppies gotta eat… (I ordered a variety because,…
Hi
Don’t mind me…just practicing posting using the Smartyphone…did I tell you I added ‘Smartyphone’ to my phone’s dictionary? I feel like such a trailblazer. In other news I tried texting yesterday w/ Denise…finally joined the 21st century!
Where have I been?
(really, where have I been? My short term memory’s been crap for awhile but now my middle term memory too?) Lately: Two weeks ago, Gene and I went to dinner and to see Gene’s favorite musical performed. Dinner was yummy and the first act was great but one of us fell ill so we had…
Yay!
Bad News: I think my coworker Broomhilda may be losing her “archrival” status Good News: Because she (very graciously!) agreed to move her vacation off of the week of Geek Week 2011! Bad News: Now you guys have to read a bunch of posts where I contemplate airfare and hotel deals in/to Las Vegas. YAY!
Oh, White Dog, you scamp…
So! Today: Breakfast at Bob Evans. Yum. Grocery store (had 10 things on the list, still managed to buy a lot of stuff – how does this always happen?) Sat at home, thought about White Dog’s power problem, saw that the Genius Bar had available appointments at 12 noon (which was about 75 minutes from…
white dog wahhhh
White Dog’s going for another visit to the Genius Bar on Monday morning. (Genius Bar = Apple Store tech support). It’s not holding a charge, even though the power supply I bought a few months ago is attached. The reason for this is (hopefully!) simple: the plastic on the outside of the laptop around where…
Frankly, I blame Eric Clapton for this…
(watch out, this may be the blog post to get me kicked out of my family…) So, the other day I was driving around and one of Gene’s Richard Cheese songs came on the iPod. Let’s agree that it was his lounge lizard version of Baby Got Back (which is a pretty good version, until…
Work
So, here’s what I have learned in the last 10 months (since leaving the old job): * Work sucks. Too many hours, annoying coworkers, annoying clients * Employers suck. They don’t let you work overtime (see above), they don’t hire enough people to do the job, blah blah. * Yeah. So anyway! In Big Payroll,…
