Kind of weird how it happens: Person you have known for years, watched raise kids, and all that, seems normal. Then you go away from LJ for a year, come back, and find a weird long rant about how you have to balance those vaxxers and antivaxxers because they all have good data ( Read more... )

Class continues to kick my ass here. Long 8 weeks, who knows where this will end up. I hate management.

Life continues to be jammed, endless amounts of people asking me to do things.

Alex is sick again, so that sucks.

Kids need non-stop driving around, too lazy to learn to drive.

Busy.

Blah.

Ah September. The weather finally starts to cool down, kids go back to school at last, and I'm chopping wood again. It's been awhile since I have posted or written thoughts, so what's going on ( Read more... )

So I get back and go to the Corporate all hands meeting down in Baltimore.

So I got up, took the mike and told the story of when I was switching floppies on a production server and actually hit the power button instead ( Read more... )

Watched Groundhog day on Feb 2nd, this might be one of the best movies ever made. I thought a lot about Phil in my life, realizing that he was trapped in that day for a very... long... time.... Far longer than the 50 or so years some people have calculated, he probably went insane multiple times, got lost for thousands of times, shut down for ( Read more... )

Well, it's the last sunrise with a rational President and congress and government. I wonder how screwed up things will be by the time the sun sets, and I wonder if we will ever have a peaceful transfer of power again. Because somehow I think that the next election results will be called into question if they do not support the proper leader, which ( Read more... )

As most people probably have guessed, I have a massive case of ADD that I have been medicating since my 20's by drinking huge amounts of coffee/caffeine. As in around 32 ounces of tea a day plus around 8 cups of black coffee in the morning. It helps a lot that there is no sugar in this mess, and it also helps that I can't taste bitter things due to ( Read more... )
