I am very tired right now. I woke up an 4 am and couldn't get back to sleep. Blech. I'd gone to bed at 10, so I did get some sleep. I don't understand why this only happens to me on weekends. On week days I always manage to sleep till the alarm goes off ( Read more... )

So, I started coming down with a cold last Saturday, which by Sunday was full blown and nasty, so further work on the bench got postponed. I managed not to miss any days at work, but I was miserable all week, even more so than when I had the flu in November.

I am annoyed with myself for not having ( Read more... )

Apparently there's a motorcycle club down in Texas called the Iron Pigs™, who've trademarked their name, and are challenging Lehigh Valley's use of "their" name. I'm not sure what the grounds for challenging will be, since I don't see how the person on the ( Read more... )

Just got an e-mail from LiveJournal notifying me that I'd asked them to reset my password, and asked for confirmation that I was the one asking. News to me, so I declined. Apparently someone in Atlanta wants to be me. I mean, I want to be someone else, too. Who's stupid enough to want to be me? Gotta be the dumbest fucking moron on the planet.
