Well, I had a successful weekend.  Despite the paranoid sense that I'm being taunted by red Pontiac G8s all over Omaha, things have actually been pretty good lately.  Yes, I will admit it.  The only thing bringing me down is me, darn it.  But now that I have allied myself with my new music from iTunes, and my impressive haul from this weekend's ( Read more... )

Soooo, I just watched the trailer for the new Sherlock Holmes flick and I believe I'll still go see it, but that's not Sherlock Holmes.  That's Robert Downey Jr. being a kookier Victorian version of Robert Langdon.  Seriously, it looks like the Da Vinci Code.  Again.  Come on, Guy, be realistic.  Holmes was not so much about action sequences as he ( Read more... )

Woo, so I dodged the bullet today.  Work continues to strain all of our nerves as they have decided to make further cutbacks and lay off half the contracting staff.  Other other Jason was telling me about it this morning, and he unfortunately is getting laid off, so I spent half the morning in a mild panic, until I finally emailed my rep to ask, ( Read more... )

Woohoo, it's almost Friday!  I'm so ready for the weekend.  And after a little internal screaming, I'm quite calm and relaxed now.  Work has been pretty good in spite of a few things, mainly that I find myself completely out of work by two, which means I'm stuck there for an hour trying to look busy, feeling a bit guilty about just slacking off on ( Read more... )

Ack!!!  Who ordered this snow?!  Because I didn't!  If they're going to give me snow, at least give me something good in return, like a better business objective for my resume, or shoot the works, just have a fabulous job fall right into my lap.

That would be okay with me.  Yes, yes, I know, work to do, novel to eviscerate...

Apparently I was looking sad at work this morning.  My coworker stopped me when I was headed to get my tea and asked me if I was okay, and said I looked sad.  I was a little surprised, because I thought I was smiling, but who knows?  Maybe my eyes were looking distraught.  Tired I would've understood, because I was feeling the morning.  Or it could ( Read more... )

Well, welcome to 2009, everybody!  Glad you all could make it.  Man, it has been a pretty awesome New Year's.  I didn't do much in the way of special, prime rib last night, my best friend texted me from Dublin.  Boy, I miss her.  Someday I will track down her evil flatmates and exact a terrible vengeance upon them for making her life harder.  But ( Read more... )

Man, I was in a crappy mood yesterday.  Apologies to anyone who actually read that posting.  I don't know.  Retroactive moodswing, I think.  That and I've got this blistering headache which refuses to go away.  I don't know if it's allergies, sinuses, toothache, or just my brain getting ready to explode, but it's moved from the left side of my face ( Read more... )

It has been an exorbitantly long week.  First with the hurricane aftermath, the annoying lost car that no one seemed to be able to own up to having lost (found it today, btw), and various amounts of anxiety.  But it is the weekend at last.

I'm worried my teeth are just rotting away in my head and I'll wake up tomorrow with pits in my jaw.  I don't ( Read more... )

I apologize in advance to actual Hurricane Ike victims.  This next bit is going to sound a little insensitive.  Please ignore all of it ( Read more... )
