Yesterday morning my wife asked me to do some laundry.
“Cheryl? The sum total of whites in the hamper equals six. That’s four socks and two shirts. Are you sure you want that done?”
To make a long response short, she answered in the affirmative. Sometime later, she asked if I had made any progress with the laundry.
“Cheryl, there were only six things to wash. I think I can somehow manage…
Who among us hasn’t dreamed that they would publish a personal web site and attract dozens of visitors from all over the county? Yes, it’s a dream come true. Why just the other day I checked my server log and found that an unprecedented sixty (60) requests had been processed by my server for my little guideline spreadsheet. If each one of those requests represents an individual, then that’s…
By the time I post this entry, it will be Saturday. Why? Because it’s about four ’til midnight right now. What is the significance of all this? Nothing really. Just thought I would get in a few more minutes of self amusement before the day ended.
Two minutes to go.
Boy am I a slow typist. “So, how many words per minute do you type?” Good thing that doesn’t come up in conversation very…
It had to happen. The law of averages states that if you have too many outliers in one direction, something is bound to come along to balance the books. I just didn’t expect the hammer to fall on my poor, unexpecting iBook. It turns out my computer didn’t have The Qualifying Logic Board Problem after all. What does this mean? It means that it would cost around $400 dollars to fix. That’s a…
It’s been a productive day thus far, and it’s time for a little ‘thank me very much.’ There is a red metallic cylinder sitting on my desk that is looking awfully good right now. It’s really not appropriate for the office, but it’s just too tempting to ignore. It’s not really good for me, but when did that ever stop me? The door to my office is closed, to hide from my coworkers. The…
At the risk of tempting the technology gods perched upon their silicone throne, I have news of comfort and joy to share. I may have unexpected reason to renew my faith in my preferred computer maker. As of June 18, 2004, Apple has expanded their iBook repair program to include (possibly) my iBook. I didn’t even know I had The Qualifying Logic Board Problem.
At some point the glow of free repairs…
Someone said something to me that I could not let go. I was making my way through an otherwise ordinary Monday when someone I know approached me and broached the topic of politics. Not knowing my political persuasion, this person launched into a rant, complaining that the presumptive Democratic nominee for president was not a “man of the people.” My interests piqued, I asked this person why he…
Have you ever opened your mouth, only to be surprised by the amount of fluid your mouth is expelling? The circumstances don’t seem to matter, you can be opening your mouth to eat or speak, and suddenly (and without voluntary control), you’re spitting a narrow stream of saliva across the room like one of those shower heads they install in low rent apartments to conserve water. I couldn’t spit…
