In which nothing much. I have a cold. I’m eating Indian take-out and drinking a China Cola at my desk. Several servers also have colds, and had to be restarted this morning. It’s Rockstar’s birthday. I will probably go out for a drink. That is all.

In which what a difference a day makes. Happy Sunday afternoon, y’all! NLW graciously acted as banker for me yesterday so my uncashable check dilemma went away. Yay! (God DAMN I hate not having a fucking checking account!) I went out last night and played Megatouch with Baby Girl at the Dead Cock, and we […]

In which one is what one does. I went to the grocery store and tried to cash my check; they refused to do it because it’s handwritten and drawn on an Oregon bank. Not having a checking account makes me feel like a goddamned second-class citizen. I spent my last $2 at Taco Bell, then […]

In which I’m nervous about visiting the farm. I need warm clothes, so I’m driving out to the farm to get some. I’ve emailed Bread a few times about this but he hasn’t responded, which makes me feel weird. I try to assume all kinds of negative reasons for it, but probably he’s just ignoring […]

In which I’m out late. I went out and had drinks with my boss and his wife. How cute is that? (AmmZon’s baking a layered chocolate-almond cake.) Widget is having a birthday this weekend, and they’re going to Chicago tomorrow for a few days, so I’ll be alone in the office tomorrow. I think I’ll […]

In which I write a little update in an effort to be more personal than yesterday’s total geekfest post. It’s getting cold. When I left work this evening, it was only 41 degrees. The streets and lawns are covered in leaves; people have their porches decorated for Halloween. It’s getting dark earlier and it’ll be […]

In which school is TOTALLY cool, bitches! Today at work I haven’t done so many trouble tickets because I still haven’t been trained on the whole billing side of things, but I got an excellent personalized lesson on RAID and general server health from dot-com, a lesson which came complete with IMed wisdom like this: […]

In which you check out my big-ass monitor. This morning I reported to work at my new job. Here’s my desk: This job rocks. I’m gonna love it here. I’ve already processed tickets and EVERYTHING! The coolest thing is that I already know how to do so some of it cold; so I don’t feel […]

In which I partied Friday night and was useless the whole rest of the weekend ’cause I ain’t no spring chicken. Friday night I went out and had drinks with dot-com and Widget. Eventually, I got really quite drunk. Later I ended up at an after-hours party and crashed on someone’s couch with a blanket […]

In which it’s all just SUCH a pain in the ASS. So I was gonna use a variation on this color scheme to redo goblinbox’s theme for fall. I had to download an FTP client to backup the existing theme files, because there wasn’t one on Truck’s laptop. Then I realized I wouldn’t be able […]
