Wow, where have I been? What have I been doing? Right here and nothing much. I'm seriously considering downgrading my LJ to a free account, because I've found better things to spend my money on.

First was my newest tattoo, which I had been putting off until finding this image online and falling in "velo" instantly:

Hey, LJ, long time no see. I'm still around, just not much to talk about. Not that this entry will change all that, but if I don't write for awhile I start to wonder where my life is disappearing to. Like all I'm doing is working, eating and sleeping, and that's no kind of life at all ( Read more... )

Yes indeedy (Tery has a Facebook friend who begins every post with "So....," an in medias res kind of thing. I say it's a sign of deep-seated insecurity, wanting to make sure she's got people's attention before speaking, but let's see if it works for me ( Read more... )

We're gearing up for the big road trip to California. I had the brilliant idea of loading up a couple of mp3 players with our individual (and never-intersecting) music choices -- if I learned one lesson from the first trip, it's that fifteen CDs, which seem like plenty while you're packing, become tedious and repetitious surprisingly quickly on a ( Read more... )

Remember when I said I was going to try to start writing shorter, more digestible entries? This is not one of them. But since I'm so super nice, I'll cut for length so the boring doesn't take up your whole f-list for a day.

Things have been kinda hectic in the medical transcription world. Every weekend for a month we've received desperate emails begging for help with gargantuan backlogs. Every weekend overtime has been approved and every weekend I've worked that overtime. Even worked two Mondays! My one day off a week. I am an overtime HUOOR ( Read more... )

Okay, the iClone saga.  I'm cutting for space, because I don't use the word "saga" lightly.  I need to get all the facts down because this might get uglier before it's over.  Hence this might only be interesting to those who are endlessly fascinated by how difficult my life can be.  And of course anyone who wants to participate in the quiz at ( Read more... )

This is the final chapter in my eBay Hammock Buying Saga, which I know no one cares about, but I need to save this shit for future reference ( Read more... )

Sunday Ryan invited me to Pride Fest -- actually, he invited Tery, who declined (she has an irrational fear of gay bashing, even though I'm pretty sure that, were homophobes to show up, they'd be decidedly in the minority). Ryan assumed I'd be too tired after working Saturday night. Foolish boy. Saturdays are usually very slow and I manage ( Read more... )

I'm getting tired of the games the airlines play. For 2 days I stared at a fare of $875 on American Airlines, agonizing over whether I should hold out for something lower. Because $875 is practically $900, which for all intents and purposes might as well be $1000 (remember what I said about skewed perspective as you get closer to $1000?) ( Read more... )
