Okay...how's this for nice? I'm working on a project, learning more about one of our products...and I type my name in to search for any cases with my name in them in King County, WA. Expecting to find one hit (which is why I used my name, I sued my prior landlord last year), I wound up getting two back. Looks like the bastard collection agency ( Read more... )

Stop me if this makes sense at any time, but let's say you're a big gigantic company and you eat up a smaller company. Then, you take half of the people that know anything about their product and fire them. THEN you decide to train all of your employees yourself, by sending people out to the smaller company to collect information, through which ( Read more... )

Well, Verizon finally did one thing right -- they cancelled my original order, that THEY screwed up back on April 10. Now I get to put in a brand new order and wait the one-to-two weeks for them to come up with some new reason why I can't get DSL in my new apartment. And that will mark the month-and-a-half that I've been without a high-speed ( Read more... )

Wow...been awhile since I posted here. Let's see what's happened since 11/28/00...well, I've moved twice (once to Redmond, then to Kirkland); been through a couple relationships; have been working for the same company (even if they did get "acquired" by a huge multinational conglomerate and work is now a chore); went through several rounds of ( Read more... )

Okay...if there's one thing in this whole world that I'm rather sick and tired of, it's getting hit on by gay men. I admit, I live in GAY CENTRAL here in Seattle, and I do on occasion go to gay bars (karaoke and 80s music), but there comes a point where it starts to get old. That point is when straight women start introducing you to their gay ( Read more... )

Well...been thinking about some stuff this weekend, since I had a friend from San Francisco up along with her roommates. We did the usual Seattle stuff, including a trip to the Experience Music Project (which, if you're into American rock 'n roll is a great place to visit, if you can live with the northwest superiority complex that the curators ( Read more... )

Well, well, well. Got an email last night from the ex-girlfriend whom I'd figured I'd never hear from again. Of course, it wasn't a clear message -- one of those "I hope you don't hate me, I don't hate you" things. Might have been prompted by the flowers I sent last week, or the phone message I left on Friday...perhaps? Anyway, just when I was ( Read more... )

Well, had my first "official" day of work today. Of course, they didn't have any workstations put together for me, and the call center is still in Dallas. So today consisted mostly of sitting around watching my fellow co-workers watch me watching them. Got into a conversation with the ex-ex-ex gf who works there -- she was actually nice to me ( Read more... )

Well, my "big party" is tonight...better make that a "moderately RSVP'd get-together". Oh well...we'll have fun nonetheless. I can't believe I'm up before noon now -- I blame it all on Dallas. Used to be I could sleep in until 1 on a Saturday, now I'm up at 11. Damn Dallas! Damn it all to hell. ;-P Aside from that, I'm waiting for my jeans ( Read more... )

Okay, so I haven't left yet. But I'm all gussied up and ready to go. Just checked out my one dear friend's livejournal (well, not my one dear friend literally -- the only one of my dear friends who has a livejournal, just to make that clear), and it appears that ariesgirlie has told y'all to check me out. So I suppose now the pressure's on, and ( Read more... )
