In which unemployment continues apace. I got laid off three and a half weeks ago. I have no idea how it’s been three and a half weeks already, but it has. I’ve been catching up on little projects, like throwing shit out and/or taking it to Goodwill and getting all the laundry done and folded […]
In which I’m totally outta there and it hasn’t even been four days. For some reason I got my final pay (56 hours regular, 40 vacation, and 30 severance) direct deposited almost immediately. Today my final pay stub came in the mail. My ex-employer has contacted me exactly only once to ask a question. Wow. […]
In which I’m unemployed again. In September of 2011 I had just finished a networking certificate at the community college and was beginning to freak out because my unemployment benefits were running out. Three days before they did, my ex-employer tracked me down and offered me a job with okay pay and a decent title. […]
In which there’s a post because I haven’t been posting for shit for MONTHS. Okay, so, the new prescription. I now have new glasses and new contacts. Full-on examination routine at the optometrists’ because I’m old: glaucoma tests, retinal images, the works. The new prescription is awesome for distance-viewing (holy SHIT things are clear), but […]
In which I haven’t posted in over a month so I’m just gonna spew some utterly boring crap into a CMS interface and publish it. Oh, not much. You? Well the usual. Some gigs and stuff. Work, a lot of time fucking off in IRC with kids, some time visiting with friends – mostly the […]
In which there’s a sterotypical Monday goddamned morning. My alarm goes off when it’s still full dark outside so I push snooze at least three times because fuck getting out of bed before the sun’s up if you’re not about to get on a plane and go somewhere. Roll out at the last possible minute, […]
In which there’s a small party. My soft plan for Monday night’s festivities was to get off work, go home, take a disco nap, bathe, dress, and then wander down to Marcy’s for the midnight champagne. Instead I left work and rode straight to Mark & Embo’s house and never left. We had Thai carry-out, […]
In which there are observations. Apparently the method for both sleeping all night and — bonus — waking up a couple of minutes before your alarm goes off is to stop at Embo’s house on the way home from work and get drunk and then go home and put yourself to bed by nine-thirty without […]
In which I blog. What’s going on? Well, not much, really. Workin’ my 40-a-week, trying to get projects done but feeling scattered because every time I get into a groove — which in itself is a feat because this shit is soooo tedious — my phone rings and there’s some human being saying incomprehensible shit […]
In which I’m looking forward to the weekend. Work’s been slow lately. I’ve been stymied trying to migrate websites from one server to another because my fucking end users can’t update their DNS; it’s beyond rocket surgery to these people. “But… but… why can’t you do it?” they whine. “Because I DON’T HOST YOUR FUCKING […]
