Instead you should run to the nearest doorway or find the nearest exit and promptly run to an open space. Of course that’s exactly what Girl and I didn’t do last night when the big (“moderate”) earthquake hit our area. It was 5.6 in magnitude with an epicenter just north east of San Jose. [...]

It’s fifteen minutes past noon and I’m ready for lunch. Normally, Tuesday lunch hour consists of a tuna sandwich, a magazine, and an earful of stories from my grandmother, as Tuesday is my day to talk with her. However, she called me at 7:30 a.m. A little early, but she had reason. I sent her [...]

Because last night Girl schooled me in some Guitar Hero III. It was pretty sad. At first I was sitting there, playing a few songs, having some fun, and trying my hardest to get Girl to try and play. She wouldn’t budge. “No, I’ll mess up your score,” she said. Or, “No, [...]

At home this weekend there was no internet. For some reason it seems that my provider is failing to provide. I called them up this morning and it appears they have no account information for my phone number. How convenient! I tried searching through email to find a copy of any [...]

Another Friday, another opportunity to have a great day. My boss has an out-of-office appointment, so I flip to the events calendar.

Looks like I will be heading to our other office (the headquarters, in fact) for the next couple of days. I don’t like going there because it’s a lot further away compared to the office I usually work out of – almost a 2 hour commute (one way), double what I’m used to.
Hopefully this won’t [...]

After listening to Boy exhaustively failing at life this morning because he woke up a half hour late, I went through the morning routine and found myself at work early. Checking my voicemail, I was delighted to find that my boss had an out-of-office meeting until 10:30 a.m. So, I checked the events calendar to see what [...]

I have no money. I need to go to the bank. Badly. I’ve been trying all this week, but have so far failed. Today, I feel, I shall be victorious!
This morning I was so desperate I even took some money from Girl. How sad is that? Actually, I think [...]

Panic is irrational. I know this… and yet. I have all these things going on right now, all of which are troublesome at best. And normally, I’ll admit I can be a drama creator, but I honestly didn’t create any of these things, which is probably what makes them so troubling. I have no control over the [...]
