I don't know how this happened, but apparently the spammers have finally discovered my LiveJournal.  I just spent 20 minutes locking comments on the random old entries that they're suddenly leaving daily comments on ( Read more... )

Just doing a quick drive-by post...I know my flist is pretty small, and I don't think any of you live close enough to Madison, Wisconsin to have experienced it, but has anyone gone to Geek.Kon?  I stumbled across it while just randomly looking at cons online.  I prefer smaller gatherings like this one seems to be.  I went to ComicCon once, and I'm ( Read more... )

Well, once again I have managed to not post anything in forever. I kept meaning to answer the comments that people left on my last post, but time just gets away from me. Work is overloaded (which is far far better than being unemployed!) but I've been put on a project that I came to haaaaaate, which meant I'm not very productive because my brain ( Read more... )

I hope everyone is doing well.  I'm just...well, I feel like I need to make this an almost-goodbye post or something, in case there comes a point where I just don't come back to LJ any more.  It's not that anything bad is going on - quite the contrary.  Real life is very happy for me.  The problem is, it's also busy.  We've spent the last few ( Read more... )

...To wrestling with something that infected my computer, that's where.  I had planned to write...instead I spent hours attempting to clean things up before finally giving up, backing up many GBs of files, and then re-installing the OS.  I now have an excellently-functioning computer with NOTHING installed on it.  Blech.

OK.  To keep this from just ( Read more... )

I am in the middle of an unexpected two weeks off from work. Last week I came down with an absolutely nasty sinus infection, and had been offered a position at another place, and wound up resigning by email. I hated to do it that way, but several people I know had been hit by this virus and were out of action for days. I also, in the email, ( Read more... )

They are now calling for us to get 3 to 6 inches of snow tonight, and another 6+ on Saturday night. So this should be a fun weekend.

Tomorrow night my work is taking us all to a Wild game for Christmas, and paying for us to eat at a very good restaurant in the arena too. They've done this three years in a row now and we all love it. Of course, it's ( Read more... )

The dentist yesterday SUCKED. It turned out that the two teeth she was working on were in worse shape than she'd expected. So the one that she thought just needed a filling replaced in, needed a *#@$*&# root canal. Plus despite the IV sedation I WOKE UP and was awake when they removed the back molar. ARGH. ARGH. ARGH.

I am better today, ( Read more... )

I hope everyone had a good Hallowe'en!  Last night we went to a party held by a friend-of-a-friend who lives about 10 blocks from me.  I was a witch: green-and-black wig, iridescent green pointy hat with feathers in it, black top with giant bell sleeves, green skirt with iridescent sparkles, and fake fingernails that glowed in the dark.  S was ( Read more... )
