As Only Old Friendships Can

(I’m actually hesitant to post this.  Mainly because I think the writing sucks.  *sigh*)
I’ve been feeling oddly uninspired to write lately, and I don’t know why.
Maybe it’s just writers block, or this feeling of minor melancholy that’s descended on me for the last week or so.
Or maybe it’s just that my life seems pretty damn [...]

Ouch

Things that suck at work:

Party Pooper

Today there was an office party.  Well, maybe a more appropriate term would be “bridal shower,” but because the entire staff was invited, I suppose it straddles the line between the two.
Anyway, last week I got the invite via e-mail.  The party would be held on our Friday lunch hour in the office, and everyone [...]

Concentrating Too Hard On Work…

…does not for good blogging make.
Truthfully, in this economy, I can’t complain too much.  I have a decent job and it pays a decent salary.

What I really wonder is if anyone actually knows why they’re asking for what they’re asking [...]

Screaming Christmas Spirit

Seeing The Light

Chatting today with a female co-worker…

Please Stand By…

So I’m back in town from my extended Labor Day weekend. Yet, I feel like I have nothing to write.
Or perhaps I’m simply not feeling that inspired.

35: WTF?

(This is the closest I’ll ever get to Twitter. ‘Cuz, really, my life isn’t that interesting on a daily basis.
I’m backposting this running string of thoughts back to the day I actually typed it. So, climb into your way-back machine and place yourself, mind & thought all the way back to… well, all [...]

Happy SAAD

Have you thanked your SysAdmin today? If you haven’t, go do it now. Or give him a hug. Or a present. Or lots of cash. Or maybe a new car, if you can spare it.
And if you read this list, just substitute “GeekHiker” for “Ted” and you’ll have a perfect [...]
