Well, it wasn't the worst birthday I ever had (parts of it were quite pleasant, unlike my birthday in 4th grade where I got sand in my eye...) but having a cold/allergies/whatever caused my throat to feel like I've swallowed steel wool does not make for a pleasant experience. At least my throat is feeling better today, although it's developed into ( Read more... )

Woo hoo! I'm getting upgraded to Minion status! Job comes with a nice raise and I won't have to answer phones anymore! At least not calls from customers! Happy day! I truly have much to be thankful for.

Mors' quote of the day:

"I've shoved so much sunshine up my ass in the last 3 months that I've started shitting rainbows."

Well, I re-rolled Deus Ex Somnia. It's now a blog. Cause heavens knows there aren't enough blogs around. The comic is still there, just at deusexsomnia.com/comic instead of the main page. Check out Deus Ex Blog. I've been kind of kicking this idea around for a while, mainly since I stopped regularly updating the comic. I probably won't have ( Read more... )

Well, this week has been okay so far. I noticed last week that I was developing a bad attitude towards work again, so this week I'm trying to have a good attitude. It's somewhat hard. I have lots of reasons to have a bad attitude. I've been working here for 3 years and I've only ever gotten one (1) $0.30 raise. So I'm making thirty cents more ( Read more... )

Whew! It's been a busy couple of days! Drove up to Traverse City this weekend with my fiance for a family Christmas get-together. We left Friday night after she got out of work, drove up and got there around midnight. Stayed up till two, got up around 9 the next day, went to meet her Great Aunt, went back to the house for hors d'oeuvres, went ( Read more... )

Well, today is my first day in the new cube. Formerly ghostrider72's cube. So far I am definitely digging it. The main pluses are more privacy since my back's to a wall now instead of open to the entire department and no one is going to be walking behind me, a 19" monitor which definitely makes 1280x1024 easier on the eyes, and I'm no longer right ( Read more... )

Well, I had a wonderful weekend, despite having to work Saturday morning. Last night, I went to the TSO (Trans-Siberian Orchestra) concert. It was excellent. Orchestral Metal is my kind of music! Orchestral Christmas Metal rules too. I had a great time. I was flying high! Right up to getting in to work this morning, when my co-worker gave me ( Read more... )

Well, as you may have notice (or not if you're viewing this from your own friend's page) I redid my site layout for LJ. I think it looks pretty good, but I may need to do some minor tweaking from here. Of course, if anyone has any suggestions or comments, they're always welcome. Getting this done on a Monday between calls is a minor miracle as ( Read more... )

So I'm sitting here alone at work right now. Well, not alone but I am the only one covering this particular call queue. It honestly could be a lot worse. Considering [major city] is down, I'd expect there to be 10 calls in queue. Instead, it's been pretty steady. This is pretty much how it should be, which is a pleasant surprise given how ( Read more... )
