Alas, a new Snarky Boy blog has been launched! I've just finished setting up Movable Type on my web site at HolyElvis, and now have a blog up there. Of course, I still want to write my own blog app, but haven't gotten around to that.

How's this for a bizarre coincidence? I was cleaning out some boxes this weekend and found a picture of one of my ex-gf's grandmother (it's an old picture, taken in the 30s[?] with her first husband). So I send an email asking if she wants it, and as it turns out her grandma died the morning that I sent the email. Weeeeeird ( Read more... )

La la la la la...work just sucks. Not only am I bored out of my mind nowadays, but I have absolutely no initiative left. I'm tired of being here, tired of talking to morons on the phone, just plain tired. Why am I not out practicing law? Oh yeah...that's 'cause nobody will hire me, thanks to the lovely job marked in Washington. Yay! So it's ( Read more... )

Dammit! Just got off the phone with the damn collection agency, and wound up breaking my cell phone - I was SO pissed off. Anyway, apparently they don't seem to understand the concept of I DON'T OWE THEM ANY MONEY, and won't accept that as an answer, instead I was informed that "I don't know the law" and "I'm just delaying the inevitable"...so ( Read more... )

Well, at least one good thing has come out of the past few weeks of hell - my DSL line is finally turned on and working properly. Which means I just might be able to start making some damn money off of that web server that I've been trying to get running. *sigh* Oh, that's as soon as I get the network switch I just ordered, since my hub is ( Read more... )

Joy, joy, joy...that's what my life is filled with. Well, except for the pending lawsuit that I can't seem to get the collection agenct to face reality on and drop, and the continuing screwup that is Sallie Mae's incorrect information on my credit history, and now we can all add the fact that my Dilbert-esque (read: Pointy-Haired Boss) manager has ( Read more... )

Grrr...I hate just sitting around and waiting. The owner's assistant said she'd hand him the papers I faxed over as soon as he got back from lunch/court/wherever he was. I told them that there was no real hurry, and they could get back to me tomorrow. Stupid, stupid, stupid...oh well. Next in line is Sallie Mae, who still have my ONE loan ( Read more... )

Okay...well, I finally chatted it up a bit with the collection agency, and the people I talked to there (in Spokane, no less) seem a bit nicer than the folks I'd been dealing with in Seattle last year. I actually got indirect contact with the owner of the company, so we'll see what happens - I faxed him a copy of the judgment against the company ( Read more... )

Well, here I sit at 10:30, after laying in bed for the past hour, unable to sleep. That damn lawsuit keeps floating in my head, and there's nothing that I can do about it. Fucking collection agencies. I pulled out all the documentation that I have on the lawsuit against my landlord, and I have proof that I informed them of the favorable outcome ( Read more... )

...and can I get ahold of the attorney for the damned collection agency? Of course not...
