It’s been quiet around these parts recently, other than a couple of quick frustrated maintenance posts. There are a couple of reasons for that. First, “these parts” aren’t the same parts anymore. You might have, if you timed it right, found things looking different for a while. That’s because I changed hosting services. I used […]
Yes, it’s Friday. Woo. About time. I honestly don’t have all that much to say. Work, hike, cook, sleep, repeat. Supposed to get together with some friends this weekend; hope it’s cool. Next week, and the week after, I’m in class – “intermediate software systems acquisition”. Exciting stuff, certainly. It’s only half as long, and […]
So, yeah, I spent most of Wednesday with a significant part of my brain thinking it was Thursday. When I came to that realization, believe me, it sucked. Wednesday night was a weird one…I dreamt that both my lovely wife and I were appointed as Supreme Court Justices, though the entire thing took place in […]
To think I started off today feeling optimistic about things. After a relatively frustration-free workday yesterday, I had a nice four mile hike along the river after work, had meal of fresh vegetables, and spent some decent time chilling with the cat and watching Veronica Mars before settling in for an actually pretty good night’s […]
As I lie here on my bed, my eldest child’s cat lying asleep next to me (I’m the perennial second choice; she’s currently out with friends) watching another too-short weekend come to a close, I feel kinda hung over (I can’t say I had *nothing* to drink Saturday evening while we sat and watched Veronica […]
One unique thing I can really say about this week is that it passed, at least to the point I write this, remarkably fast; I’ll take it. Work’s been work, apart from the absolute shit briefing on Thursday afternoon; ’nuff said. I’ve been hiking rather than biking this week for my fitness/stress relief; partially for […]
In my usual scanning of the headlines and news aggregators today, my attention was drawn to a story from the land of my youth, Northeastern Pennsylvania (reported by venerable and often delightfully quirky and local WNEP) about schools in Luzerne County threatening to call CPS/Foster care on families with overdue lunch money bills. As comments […]
Yes, this post will go up Friday, but I am writing it, as usual, on Thursday, which, as I indicate in the title, is my twenty-first wedding anniversary. Not much is going to happen on Thursday, because dance class, but the plan is go go out for dinner on Friday; I’m thinking Ammo Brewing, because […]
My life this week has been defined primarily by the never-ending fountain of documents related to the acquisition nightmare I’ve gotten yanked into by the boss. This should be a relatively easy thing, but this particular effort has been kicked back by the review board three times now, and the strategy has been changed just […]
