good: i found a magic new commute that lets me get home in less than 25 minutes, every day.  somehow, this commute involves going past an area that is consistently listed on "worst traffic" lists all the time.  and still, faster than my old commute.  it's magic.  :D ( Read more... )

after 2 (maybe 3?) years with paid lj, i've decided to cancel.  well...decided to cancel sounds so final, when what really happened was they sent me emails saying "RENEW NOW!!!", and i just ignored them until last night.  and now i'm left with...not what i had before ( Read more... )

So I don't think I've posted much about my job. I can't tell you much about the DoM, but this is what I've gathered after more than a full week, which has at this point included some actual work ( Read more... )
