I escaped work for my break and dialled my Dad at work (as is my routine every Wednesday). His assistant patched me through and I found my Dad in a remarkably good mood. We chit chatted about upcoming vacations, my sister’s toddler, my little bro’s new job, and all the normal topics. And then, he [...]

This entire week has been nothing but numbers, budgets, Excel sheets, charts, dollar signs, and a seemingly endless number of reports. It was all in order to prepare for this morning’s meeting. Honestly, it was hard work and it took all my energy. It seems like every night I came home and just sat in front of [...]

The other night the power went out. As a result, not only did all our clocks reset to a fascinating blinking 12:00 (in reality, you don’t see much of that anymore), but we also lost our internet.
To be more specific, the internet itself wasn’t “out” so to speak. What really happened is the wireless router [...]

Burnout Paradise is a recently released video game (for XBox 360 and Playstation 3) that I picked up the other night at BestBuy. Girl, as wonderful as she is, came with.
Unfortunately, Girl was far unaware of the implications of this purchase. It will lead to countless nights of hours of game playing – and this [...]

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day! It’s the day of the year (one of many) that I get to go to work while other people, like Girl, don’t. How fun for me! High-five to everyone else who sucked it up and went to work today! You other people… I don’t want to talk to [...]

So I’ve been watching this cheesy, nay, bad, sci-fi show called Earth 2. You may have heard of it. Well, if you’re not familiar with this show, consider yourself lucky. It’s crap. I’m a fan of sci-fi, especially Star Trek, Stargate, and Battlestar (notably the first season or two of the newer [...]

Do you ever feel invisible? Like the things you do or say just don’t matter or are not given the proper attention? I feel that sometimes at work, but it’s been especially rough this week. For example, I’ve recently given feedback for something along with a number of other people, and those people are given [...]

Avoiding purchasing a pack of cigarettes.
Avoided falling down the stairs at Bloomingdale’s.
Avoided drinking a shot of Vodka with lunch.
Avoided chewing gum.
Avoided (narrowly) complaining to my Dad.
Avoided eating candy or other calorie-crazy foods.
Avoided checking my cell phone for text messages.
Avoided calling my sister.
Avoided drinking coffee.
Avoided being hit by direct sunlight.
Avoided listening to the crap that’s loaded onto my [...]

That’s right, I got a clapper – got it for Christmas. And not just any Clapper, its a brand spanking new super duper state of the art Clapper that not only responds to claps, but also has a remote control. I was finally able to install it last night (I’ve tried before but was [...]

I’m going to start drinking more water. I’ve decided that. After talking with a colleague at work this morning, I realized that I’m not drinking as much as I used to. In fact, I’m not drinking nearly enough as a normal human being should – and, really, that’s a lot. What is it, like [...]
