I honestly don’t know what to make of this week. Not surprisingly, given last weekend, I kind of started behind, and honestly never quite caught up. So much of it has to do with trying to keep up with everyone else’s needs, tracking the requirements of two completely unrelated job descriptions, attempting to snag a […]

Bills. Bike. Bureaucratic Bullshit. Not much else to say, really… Anyway, here’s some music: “PDA” – Interpol “Search and Destroy – Iggy Pop Mix” – The Stooges “Trash Generator” – Tera Melos “Mantra” – Dave Grohl, Josh Homme, Trent Reznor “Rapid Fire Tollbooth” – Omar Rodriguez-Lopez “The Other Shoe” – Fucked Up “Hey You” – […]

Apart from my spending the whole week thinking it was a day later than it was, I got a heck of a lot done, at least up until Thursday. Never got the hang, etc. Earlier in the week, they started migrating the email system at work to a different platform (the whats and whos aren’t […]

So, I came to the realization mid-way through yesterday that I’ve been working way too damned hard the last two weeks. It’s true, I’ve been hugely productive at work, I’ve ridden a ton of miles on the bike, and I’ve even gotten a start on the Humdingers tracks I owe my bandmates down south. That […]

So, in most endeavors this week, I struggled to make anyone particularly happy; stuff just didn’t seem to work out. I plugged through work, settled some issues, but saw a bunch of others arise. I had one really nice bike ride on Tuesday, though weather and pollen kind of spoiled the rest of the week, […]

While work was as frustrating as requirements review board submission deadline week usually is, it was an otherwise decent week. The certification test I’m running in the other piece of my job that I haven’t been able to let go of yet after the reorg in February is going swimmingly, and more importantly, the weather’s […]

Another Friday, another long week. A week full of sinus pressure, problematic bureaucracy, and senior executive briefings, framed by crappy weather that kept me off the bike most of the week. However, it’s Friday, and at this point, it’s looking like it’ll be a quiet one. I’ve moved my projects along to the point where […]

So I guess it’s kinda spring now? We’re supposed to top 80° here in the RVA today, after two days of solid (but warm) rain. I’ll take it. Lions, lambs, all that crap, right? The week itself has been about standard, at least standard for weeks where I have to run the gauntlet of senior […]

As alluded to earlier this week, the weather’s been rather awful, and it’s been keeping me from my primary source of stress relief; getting outside and riding the bike. The severe weather warnings have been coming in most of the week for the mid-Atlantic/Southeast, talk of 40-60 mph winds and tennis ball hail, which, y’know, […]

As we make note of the fact that it’s been a year since we’ve officially been using the term “pandemic” to describe the overall condition of the world, we mourn the loss of over half a million of our fellows, lament the denied opportunities for social interaction and live artistic performance and exhibition, and just, […]
