Well, nothing like 4 and a half hours of sleep for a long day to go. Anyway, here's where to find me today ( Read more... )

So, in all these articles on cnn.com about Steve Fossett and flying around the world, they are constantly comparing him to Ferdinand Magellan. It seems like they just keep attaching the last few paragraphs to every update they have about Fossett, and it's really annoying. And besides, it's not like Magellan actually went off and completely ( Read more... )

Well, today was the first day this week at work that I've really been able to sit down and think while I've been at work. Allison was sick the last two days, and so I went crazy trying to get everything done. Monday was just short of a total disaster, and Tuesday was a big improvement. Today was better. No people screaming at me to get their ( Read more... )

I'd like to start this by mentioning what a fool Donald Trump is. There is an asticle on today's (well, now yesterday's) Trib about how the mayor wanted a spire on top of Trump's new building here, and trump didn't want one. They even had a big argument in the mayor's office about it, and who do you think won? I mean seriously. This is CHICAGO ( Read more... )

Well, today was the worst day of work thus far, despite the fact that I got out a half hour earlier then a couple of weeks ago. It all started out just fine, until I told them they could unload a tanker of oil that I didn't realize was bad. Now generally, inbound oil is always out of spec, so I didn't really think anything of it. However, I didn ( Read more... )

Hey all, yesterday, the FCC denied 36 complaints about indecency by the Parents Television Council. You all should read this, cause they are realy stupid, and join me in sending them some hatemail for being stupid.

Well, tonight could be an interesting night here at work. Allison called in sick, so I'm on my own till 11 tonight, or the midnight people come in. The oil mostly looks pretty good, and right now there is nothing going on, but things can go from good to bad pretty quickly. So we'll see. Anyway, back to work before the boss comes in.

Yeah. So, the drive home tonight went as expected. I'm not exactly sure that the tollway was the right decision, but oh well. It was just packed snow, and the only problem was that after exiting 355 to 88, everyone had taken their own different way of getting to the tollway, and I hit a little drift (my car has very low clearance, mind you), and ( Read more... )

And why is it that we only ever get any goddamn snow here when I'm supposed to be driving home from work? Seriously. it's supposed to snow here tonight AGAIN, and since I'm goign to be driving home then, it's going to take me an hour and a half to get home AGAIN. And because it's snowing, I'm going to have to take the tollway, since I don't ( Read more... )

Since Jenny said you were concerned about me Ali, yes, I am still alive.
