In which technical difficulties are the order of the day. Er, afternoon. Whatever. I’ve finished my software training course and had lunch and now I’m ready to become certified in Xactimate. I’m sitting in the classroom with the seven other people who are ready to take the certification test. And the software’s online training site […]

In which things are still less than totally smooth, but I ain’t dead yet. Bread got home Monday night. We promptly had a huge goddamned fight. (The kind of fight where he left and didn’t come back until the morning, and I was glad to see him go.) Go, us. I’m getting tired of it. […]

In which Bread will be home for a few days. I just spoke with Bread during the afternoon break. BoSe needs to rush back to town for a family emergency, so the two of them are packing as I type. They should roll in between nine and ten tonight. I have to clean BoSe’s car […]

In which I check in. I’ve been off the ‘net for a couple days because — surprize, surprize — I didn’t pay my phone bill and so I can’t get online from home. Right now I’m at the coffee shop with NLW, waiting for my frappuccino. After getting laid off, I went to get drunk. […]
