I just hate those mornings when I’m running late. I wonder how my boss feels about it? If I feel worse about it than my boss, does that say more about me or my boss? Is it a sign of maturity or maladjustment? Am I making matters worse? Am I looking forward to getting to work that much this morning?
Inspiration strikes! It’s just too damn nice outside. It is April after all. That means…
Going from one software package to another can be hell. I’ve done it once already on this thing I don’t really have a name for. Some call them “Weblogs”. Others call them “Blogs” for short. Personally, I hate those names. To me, it just is. Anyway, I’ve had a couple systems for this thing I don’t call a blog. For a while I stuck with vanilla HTML.
My wallet was feeling flush with the unexpected weight of cash. I ran down stairs, to buy my lunch for a change, and whipped out my freshly minted twenty. The first thing I noticed was butterflies. “What the hell are yellow butterflies doing on my twenty dollar bill? Did someone spike my water bottle this morning?” I took a closer look and noticed they weren’t butterflies at all.
There’s this thing that happens when I watch an emotional movie. I am placed in this persisting state, like the movie drove me someplace and dropped me off. Now I’m left to walk back, but it’s going to take a while to get there on foot. More often than not it’s the little, un-expecting flic that takes me there. I’ll be sitting in the family room alone, watching this…
There is another state agency that recently started working closely with my department. From our perspective, there have been severe problems with the transition. With that very brief set up, let me tell you what happened this morning. A meeting was scheduled for nine a.m. Management at our office was supposed to have a little face to face with management from their office. Mostly everyone from…
This was the weekend that I blew up my perspective of self. I spent a good chunk of Saturday pressure washing the driveway and back patio. For a few hours I morphed into someone who takes pride in outward appearances. A word of warning to those of you who may live in mildew prone areas… there is a point at which mildew won’t easily come off a concrete slab if left on too long. I have…
What other day do we have a free pass to deceive? For the first time in my post college, full time working life, I pulled a prank on my coworkers. I hadn’t planned to do anything to observe April Fools Day. Instead, inspiration came in a flash. Everyone in my office has been discussing the difficulties we’re having with another state agency that provides a service for our local office.
Music calms the beast in us all. It was a long day – made considerably longer by forgetting my lunch in the refrigerator this morning (you try riding twenty miles back and forth to work without lunch and we’ll see how chipper you feel). Well the tyke is in bed and the wife is shopping with her mother. My stomach is finally sated and my studio headphones are firmly seated over my ears.
Imagine this entry being the last entry – for the next week…
We’ll be away, as it out of town, as in away from our server. While I’ll have my computer – the trusty iBook – I don’t have remote access to my web server. I could temporarily house these entries on the Apple servers (via .Mac), but that would require some effort on my part. And after those…
