I spent most of last night and the morning cleaning the house and sending out resumes (Haven't done either of those in a while.). All the while I kept pondering that standard interview question of "Where do you see yourself in five years?" and coming up empty. I had to get out of there today. Thanks to some fucking genius in corporate, we're now ( Read more... )

Sunday didn't go as planned. Instead of cleaning my room, I focused on the three boxes of CDs I had in my closet. One was labeled "Verified" (I had gone into iTunes and verified that all the songs on the CD were ripped at 320 kbps. The other two were labeled "Rip" and "Missing Disc" which are pretty self-explanatory. At first, I dialed into the ( Read more... )

Work was light with only a bit of frustration. I jetted out of there and headed over Bruce's temporary digs and helped him move out. To thank us (Emily was there with her dog Oscar) he took us out to lunch at The Elephant Bar. Pretty good food with prices a tad above Denny's. They're drinks are outstanding, and not overpriced. Moving the stuff ( Read more... )

Yesterday started pretty mellow and ended in a whirlwind. I picked up the downstairs and did some light cleaning in order to get it back to what it was before the drunk party. It looks pretty good now, just need to lay down the deodorizer, wait and vacuum ( Read more... )

Saturday at work was less than memorable. I'm slowly becoming the can-do jackrabbit there. A lot of other tutors are seriously slipping in their paperwork which is seriously frustrating for the rest of us. On my way home, I stopped off at LM's, visited with S... and overstayed my welcome a bit. Oh well. There will be other times and places to ( Read more... )

Yesterday I visited Bruce at his new place after work. Getting there was easy thanks to Sylvia (Yeah, I named it.) and the surroundings were vaguely familiar. Then I realized is right next to the "adult novelty" store that closed down last year. It's still there, sitting empty ( Read more... )

Today was chock full of activities. I was a bit early to the munch this morning. (That's why I carry a book with me.) I headed in a few minutes early and stopped at the stuffed animal machine in the front. I got a twofer out of it (I totally rock at those things.). While I was pulling my booty out of the machine, one of the munch regulars ( Read more... )

I went to the new Asian center next to Wal-Mart today. I met a few friends there to celebrate a birthday. We went to the dim sum place they have there. It was crowded, but excellent. I've only had dim sum once a long time ago (I swear it was downtown, but my parents don't remember.) This was just as good. Lots of interesting and tasty dishes ( Read more... )
