Been a little hectic in the first few weeks for 2006 so far. Adjusting to not being at SBC is taking a little more effort than I had imagined - to borrow a phrase from yet another company I've worked for in the past, I can't seem to shake the SBC Taint. A few mornings these past weeks I've woken up and looked at the alarm clock and started freaking ( Read more... )

Closing on the house Friday. Assuming two things - 1: I can get off work for the closing procedure at 4pm. Even though I informed my lender time and fucking time the fuckity fuck again that I work 10:30 to 7:00, she still scheduled it for 4:00pm. If Lee were here, he would say "Nice, nice" and then improperly employ scissors in some manner ( Read more... )

In the beginning, there was The Plan! The Plan was good, for it ended with Seth and Kim having lots of money, a house, and carreers they both wanted. As anyone can tell you, The Plan never goes the fuck how it is supposed to. We're still in the basement, it's the end of the year and I'm not going to be done with the novel, and we don't have large ( Read more... )

It's hard to explain right now what happened at work Friday without going into great detail and getting angry.

However, there's some serious problems between my wireless mouse receiver and my wireless joystick receiver. I got up this morning and couldn't use my mouse, or my keyboard, because I had tried to use my mouse and somehow it had actually gotten a ( Read more... )

So, Kim and Jed are off to Detroit and the Whiteboy tournament leaving me alone with Jake all weekend. Which, of course means that I'm alone in the house all weekend unless Tyler wants to come over and shoot the shit or Jake feels like spending his time with sis here instead of wherever it is they go. Think I'll get all the ass caught up on my AEG ( Read more... )

Actual "New Year's Resolution"

I resolve to never, never the fuck again say "I really want (insert Clan Name) to win this one." at a tournament I'm running. Ever. I almost came home to a lynching once Topaz was done. Jesus McFuckcracker it was scary.
