CD shelf cleaning, round one of ???
I'm cleaning off my CD shelf, because I need to clean out my office. My "office", which used to be my "man cave," but is really still both but feels like more of the latter since I started working from home full time.
I'm taking CDs that have been ignored on shelves for years, and putting them in books, because "I might still listen to them." But ( Read more... ) -
Almost three years since my last post...
...Anything exciting happen in the last year? ;)

Ninja
I should have blogged this years ago, when it happened; but now, for posterity:
One day, Jen and I were at Home Depot. Whilst paying, I notice that the cashier (a teenage girl) had a nametag that said "Ninja."
"Ha, I can't believe they let you do that."
An imperceptible sigh, from one who has heard this many times. "It's my name."
"It is? You are ( Read more... ) -
my grandmother's death
I found out last night that my grandmother died on Easter weekend.
Among the many instructions she left for her sister, nobody was to be informed for at least a month. This probably hints at the strained nature of her relationship with the rest of the family. So, I won't say that I'm as choked up as some might be; but I do have emotions to sort out ( Read more... ) -
The "Life" Catch-Up, Or Whatever
Long time no post. No substantial post, anyway.
I'm pretty private when it comes to family stuff (at least compared to my "open book" life otherwise) but a few things going down there. I love them, but they have their issues.
I mean, I do too. So do you. We all do. Theirs just worry me more.
I'm working (like, job/career) much less this year than ( Read more... ) -
Back in the saddle... er, office
After exclusively working from home for the past month and a half, I returned to the office today. I'm finally returning to normal days after "go live" and the initial flurry of problems. I'm glad I did; you can really fall into a routine. I think the longer I'd been away, the harder I'd have found the return ( Read more... ) -
Going Live
Today, my company has begun the process of going live on its new ERP system. The old one is being disabled, the new one enabled; a process that begins in earnest overnight, and will proceed through Labor Day weekend ( Read more... ) -
CDs?!?
At Jen's urging, I"m going through my packed CD shelves (I've got hundreds of them) to clean up some ( Read more... ) -
Delays & Dragons
As you might know (because it's all I freaking talk about), I've been working like crazy for the past year on a big software change at work. The "go live" date was the end of July, so I'd been looking forward to celebrating and settling back down in August ( Read more... ) -
whew! breathe!
Although I still have way too much work to do into July, I can finally take a breather after a really intense couple of weeks. I worked a lot of 12-hour days and weekends, and spent most of last week in an Atlanta "war room" development session, but I'm mostly back on track for deadlines ( Read more... )
