So I finally got the California job offer yesterday... and it's pretty damn good. I won't really be making a lot more money, especially when cost of living and having to keep my house here are factored in, but it's a really good opportunity and will get me the fuck out of this shitty town and this shitty job ( Read more... )

Woo I'm in DC... pretty fucking exciting. Got a company conference this week, which beats working for sure. I had to get up at 5am to make my 7:10am flight from Tucson, and got in here around 1615 local time, meeting some of my co-workers here. After checkin in at the hotel I wandered around some of the sights, including the White House and the ( Read more... )

Looks like I got my $600 "Federal rebate" directly deposited into my checking account yesterday... or as dantoo calls it, the "China loan". Because, technically, a Government "of the people" that's heavily in debt can't just GIVE money to its citizens... it's loaning out the money it gets from its creditors, and of course one of its biggest creditors is ( Read more... )

Finally, an American car I'd consider buyingWork's actually been fairly busy lately... having stuff to do actually makes my job slightly enjoyable. Sure, it's a far cry from a "dream job" but it's hard to complain, especially since I have no worries about job security or paying bills. And as I said to one of my coworkers, I make about as much in ( Read more... )

Yesterday I left work early so I could go to the dentist and get my teeth cleaned for the first time in years. It wasn't too bad, although the hygienist really dug in with that little metal pick of hers. I've since spent nearly every waking moment running my tongue across the back of my bottom front teeth, which feel like individual teeth now. ( Read more... )

Ok, so, apparently dinosaurs used to be called dragons, and they were on Noah's ark.... and the reason they're dead today is cuz the world had less oxygen after the flood, cuz so many plants died, which made the dinosaurs slower and easier to catch, and mankind killed them all for food.

Yep. Two hundred years of scientific work by countless ( Read more... )

Tomorrow's my 6 month anniversary for moving to Tucson. Mixed feelings, to be sure. At least I still kinda like my job and haven't felt trapped or anything.

I just wish there was more to DO down here. Or, more accurately, that I was better at finding stuff to do. Ah well, at least I'll be bored in a really nice house soon.

Today scumm_boy made his first LJ post since October 23rd, 1934, on the subject of a XKCD comic. This comic divides me... on the one hand, it's so badly drawn that I feel guilty for reading it, and it tends to delve into the realm of utterly atrocious, gag-inducing sentimentality rather often. On the other hand, it does comics like this and this that are ( Read more... )
