In which I totally don’t even work for Facebook, but you’d never know it by listening in on my calls. Me: …this is Michelle, how may I help you? Caller: Is there something wrong with your network in Idaho? Me: No sir, there are no current known service outages. What symptoms are you experiencing? Caller: […]
In which I’m suddenly considering where I might be living next Spring. 1. Dear Walla Walla: It snowed. YESTERDAY. And today, the streets are still full of snow! Why don’t you plow when it snows? What the hell is wrong with you?! 2. For reasons I haven’t been working here long enough to understand but […]
In which I spend a lot of time online, reading stuff. And then I write about it! It’s important that we all become aware of, and defend against, the “natural family revival.” There are some batshit crazy Xians out there, and they’re all banding together – some even with (gasp!) Muslims – to bring back […]
In which we use an AI to analyze my writing. I went to genderanalyzer.com and typed in my URL and clicked the Analyze button and waited patiently. It said, “We think http://goblinbox.com is written by a woman (67%).” Only sixty-seven percent? Hmm.
In which I think “artisanal” is a wholly silly word. Once upon a time, everybody made their own breads and cheeses (or at least personally knew the person who made the breads and cheeses they ate), and I imagine these products were earthy and rustic and “artisanal” and at least edible if not actually delicious. […]
In which if you want more ammunition to use against me in our upcoming argument about what a dork I am, here it is! Winter It’s 14°F. I am seriously NOT DIGGING IT. Bindu isn’t digging it, either: she was right up on my right heel most of the way around the block this morning, […]
In which ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAPPENS. Okay, so, like, last night at work it was all exciting because there was an HVAC crisis in a server room in Spokane. I had to talk with three engineers over IM and dispatch an HVAC guy and everything. Whee! Then I went home. I did not have dinner. I […]
In which I have a fairly rotten cold. And a lot of fun, too, but the fun sure ain’t helping my cold any. Thursday, I was pretty much wrecked at work because I’d decided to party the night before, but it turns out that I’m actually even better at phone-based IT work when I’m exhausted: […]
In which I totally raged old school style on a school night, yo. I’ve been fighting a cold. I am quite congested. I should be hydrating and resting, of course. It’s annoying. Last night after work it seemed like a good idea to go down to the bar on the corner to have a drink […]
In which I decide that in a perfect world I’d be a professional student. And then I complain. Following are the things I have considered studying – in the past two weeks alone – if only I had the required time and/or money: Astronomy. There’s a cool online course I want to take; it costs […]
