Hrm. It took me nearly five hours to get home from the office this particular Friday afternoon. All told, an appropriate capper for a pretty crappy week. The usual unhappy stuff, plus the whole last minute delay of the furlough notices, a move that was sold as a welcome respite, but really just served to […]

Wish I had more to say…life’s been interesting, in a mentally and physically taxing sort of way, but not a lot going on worth blogging about. I’ll spare you my misery surrounding economic uncertainty, national politics, timing not lining up the way I want it to, and occasional buyer’s remorse. Rather than doing that, I’m […]

Yeah, quiet on all fronts the last week or so, save one or two harried tweets and a handful of desperate conversations. Sorry ’bout that. The biggest hassle is a work thing. Part of my job is managing some exceptionally technical tasks that normally go beyond someone in my job series, given to me without […]

You been watching my internet presence this week? You know what the title means. “I Will” – The Beatles “Diseases of Yore” – MC Frontalot “Wanted Dead or Alive” – Bon Jovi “Rockin’ In The USA” – Kiss “Black Diamond” – The Replacements “This Is The Day” – The Cranberries “The Only Difference Between Martyrdom […]

I imagine all you readers out there clamoring for my lastest thoughts and feelings on the world at large, all three or four of you, are probably pretty disappointed at my output lately. You know what, I’m not thrilled about it either. However, I’m not sure when or if things are going to change, at […]

As alluded to in the last post with the kitten, the stress levels I’m dealing with are through the roof at the moment. For all kinds of reasons. This time, all that stress is going straight to my head, providing sustenance and power to those gnomes in my frontal lobe with the pneumatic hammers…you know […]

The title is a reminder for myself. I need to look at a kitten. It’s been one of those weeks.

I purposely don’t talk much about work here except in generalities; there’s something to be said for establishing some boundaries between my lives there and out here in the digital æther.
