Clients are so nerve wracking! They demand we get things done early, and then sit on their butts when they need to get us stuff. I could have this entire project out the door today, if they would just give us the stupid lists of pages that need to packaged to the printer and online vendor. Bah ( Read more... )

This is a great piece about gay rights and why denying them should be considered wrong by any intelligent person. Thanks to fenrah for the link.

So Pooley's, the bar I tend to play volleyball at, is raising the price per team by over $100 for next season. We have decided we really don't want to pay that, especially since they really aren't doing anything for us with that money (i.e. new nets, new net between courts, etc.). They are claiming a raise in heating costs--and it is usually frigid ( Read more... )

You know how sometimes people on your friends list post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when were they working THERE? Since when were they dating HIM/HER? Since when?" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ( Read more... )

I made my own D&D character last night. I won't be using him, but I wanted to go though the process so now I know how to do it and where everything in the book is. I've written down the important pages and now when I sit down with the group there will be less of me searching for info. Though my character is pretty sweet. Maybe if someone else GMs ( Read more... )

Last night went well. My team played volleyball well, we only won one game, but the other team was good too. I felt I did a good job also. Then we had a few beers at Pooleys, apparently one can drink for free on his or her birthday. Then we went to the Malt house and met up with Keith and Pat for a few drinks. I found their list of meads and drank ( Read more... )

Jess decided to have a dinner party last night, kinda spur of the moment. So I was informed I needed to get dressed up and bring chocolate dessert. Her dinner was vegetarian, of course, and was mostly mango and papaya. There was a clod salad, rice with toasted almonds on raw papaya, and a slightly spicy fake chicken with mango chutney on it. Very ( Read more... )

Apparently I'm "random project boy" today. I'm bouncing between like 3 or 4 projects as they each have extra work. There is some left over stuff to worry about from the rerush project from Friday. I hope it can get done during normal hours, I really didn't plan for OT this week ( Read more... )

Weekend was good. Not much on Saturday, except for scoring a used mac book. It's old but runs fine except for a sticky disk drive. I've got it all running and the programs I need installed. Now I need to transfer over my data and resync the iphone--which means transferring the now PC data back to Mac world. I'm gonna be really good at this soon ( Read more... )
