In which today is a silly holiday. Silly. So silly. So, I’m Irish. I have some Irish blood, at any rate, but my family never observed any notable Irish behaviors. Anyway, St. Patrick’s Day is just a weird holiday, the way it’s celebrated here. Green beer, and adults punching one another if they don’t spot […]
In which no news is good news! Today at work I’m listing some of the company’s extraneous hardware on eBay. It’s pretty fun, but the boss is out of the office right now so I don’t know if he wants me to put reserves on the switches or not. Next I’ll be meticulously unfucking a […]
In which it’s a beautiful day. It’s gorgeous out. Gorgeous! Warm and breezy and balmy. If I weren’t still so pleased to be employed, I’d be bitching about wanting to go outside and play! The site I mentioned yesterday went down about five minutes after I posted, and is still down. I wonder if I […]
In which I miss the loss of unlimited naptime, but otherwise feel pretty damn positive. Bonus: includes the return of nested parentheses! Overheard at work today: “Yeah, I understand that. I just don’t understand how a buffer overflow translates to root access.” (Rampant nerd-speak! I love my job!) I spent about eleventy hours this weekend […]
In which the ‘box celebrates a very important occasion. Six years ago today, I registered the GOBLINBOX.COM domain and immediately the hilarity you’ve come to know and love ensued. Yay! Now buy me something! 😉
In which I’m gainfully employed! HURRAH! I reported to work this morning at ten; a totally reasonable and human hour to do so. T was finishing up with my ‘new’ computer, and my desk was not only clean and stocked with paperclips and things, but there was a plant on it! A plant! The picture […]
In which I’m EMPLOYED! This morning I drove over here and met with M.S. for an hour. We had a great meeting. They need an all-around office chick, to do their data entry and bookkeeping and billing and various other officey stuff. I start tomorrow! I would have offered to start immediately but they need […]
In which I make the best of it. I stopped for gas on the way out of town, and in spite of my nice interview clothes I took a look underneath the jeep. The exhaust has rusted out. Parts of it are hanging down all over the place, and so I called and canceled my […]
In which I’m all a-quiver. I have an interview here tomorrow. I’m going now to register for temp work here. I will be employed soon. Cross your fingers, my babies! In other news, I hope to have coffee with S. and maybe a drink with Coot while I’m in Iowa City. Yay!
In which the irony is not lost on me. I talked to Kelly Services again today; I have an appointment to go in tomorrow at noon and take all their competency tests. Like, Writing A Letter in Microsoft Word and Using Excel to Total A Column. (It’s worth it. I’ve temped for Kelly twice before […]
