Yes, I am still here. I know I have not posted to LJ in long, long, longity-long-long time... in actuality, almost exactly 2 years. Damn you, Facebook and other distractions. I am doing okay... finally finishing getting over a nasty head cold. Last you may have read, I was working as a temp over at Virtua Healthcare in south Jersey, hoping to ( Read more... )

I always feel crappy when I realize I haven't updated my journal in months. It often gets shuffled down the priority list because there's so much else going on. I will hopefully be updating a little more regularly, but this will be my opportunity to get everyone up-to-date on what's happening ( Read more... )

Zounds, it's been hot the past couple days. The beginning of the weekend was perfect... just the right temperature, light cool breeze, sunny. Then it turned into a hot, humid beast. I think I must have sweated away a couple pounds yesterday afternoon. Luckily it's a little cooler in the house today ( Read more... )

It wound up putting us behind on getting things paid, but we moved some things around to make sure we could still get them paid. Then the beginning of September hit. The weather should have been an ( Read more... )

After I started at my new workplace January of last year, I made some New Years resolutions, among them was to finally get the A+ certification I had been fiddling around with for the past couple years. I would borrow books and CD-ROMs and buy books of my own and read and study... but I never actually pushed forward and took the test. I guess ( Read more... )

I have to thank Katrus for bringing Indeed.com to my attention (refer to his post here). Since discovering that giant bees make $35,000 a year, I thought I'd look at other salaries, and what I found was quite surprising ( Read more... )

I have been playing MapleQuest off and on (mostly off, actually) for the past year or so. Being an RPG fan, I enjoy the idea of a free online role playing game that is multi-player oriented and offers interaction yet lets you play and enjoy the game solo. My biggest complaint about computer RPGs anymore is that they rely on cooperative play and ( Read more... )
