My wife usually calls me up once a day while I’m at work. The conversation usually centers around work and how it’s going.  Most of the time it’s going okay, which translates to I’m getting through it.  However if it’s a good day it means I’m enjoying what I’m doing or the boss is out [...]

I really want to go off on all that is wrong at work, but that would probably only serve to frustrate me. Here’s an example of what I have to deal with. I go to my boss and ask him if there’s a script that’s updating the server that I’m trying to test [...]

I don’t know what happened but somewhere along the line some one turned off the heat in the midwest. A couple of weeks ago, even last week, it was nice. Weather was perfect and we were outside doing some yard work. Not now. It’s below freezing (28 degrees at 12:30 [...]

Today was the first day back at work in almost 2 weeks. It was depressing! Okay it wasn’t that bad. It took me until almost 11 to get my e-mails downloaded (for those keeping track it was 18,872 e-mails that I had to download). I had a meeting at 10 that [...]

I am not a big coffee drinker, but I enjoy a cup of java every now and then. Usually I’ll go for a latte or something like that since I can not stand coffee by itself. I’m sure some of you say that a latte isn’t coffee which is fine with me. [...]

I was going to write something about families and how interesting they can be, but I thought some might get offended so for right now I’m going to leave it in my head.
Yesterday we had rain like a July thunderstorm. I’m told that it’s going to get pretty damn cold tomorrow or [...]

Or perhaps not insert foot?
I was conversing with my boss today about a fellow programmer. Earlier I had asked said programmer how something worked and I got the usual “why the fuck are you bothering me” response (that’s not what he said, but it’s his attitude). The guy is more of a programmer [...]

I think in my last post I mentioned that I’m taking over a new project at work. Well it’s in full swing and the picture you see above is me. No I won’t be losing my hair, I’ll be adding more gray hairs to the numerous one’s that I already have. At [...]

From all that I’ve been reading lately I don’t think I’m in the minority on this one. We need to stop the silliness that is daylight savings time. Whatever it was used for (I’ve heard farming and the railroads) are past their time. Yeah I enjoy my extra hour of sleep right now, [...]

For some reason the last couple of weekends have seemed extremely short for one reason or another. Maybe it’s the time of the year or maybe it’s the fact that I’ve been somewhat busy. I don’t know, but I don’t like it. I’d much rather have a three day weekend than a [...]
