Ha ha! I might be getting out of retail and joining the Brotherhood of the Cut Thumb and the TORX wrench… Wait. Let me back up. On Wednesday, November 15th, I got a call informing me I was hired at The Computer Store. I commenced to work my retail position on the 20th… After nine [...]
I had an odd one last night. Before bed, I was told that there’s a potential office swapping that’s going to happen here at work. I guess that got my mind running on the office, and related topics… I went into the ‘Burg, and headed for my desk. It wasn’t there. My desk was missing, [...]
I got to test my new bike stuff this morning. It’s been snowing over the weekend, and last night it was really cold, so there’s snow and ICE all over everything, and I have a 30+ block bike ride to work. I only crashed once, at the first intersection, as I tried to brake too [...]
Well kids, let us begin today’s lesson: Today was my refresher, and I’m sure Scott began his first lesson without the benefit of a primer. For those of us that don’t know… Go slow – If you’re in a hurry, stay slow. Nothing makes you late to work or class like an open head wound. [...]
“I figured if I can’t enjoy the company of beautiful, witty women, I might as well own expensive possessions. Capitalism rocks.” – anonymous friend
“Why do I have to be quiet? It’s a silent movie!” – Amy, drunk at a party
So Urn and I officially have a radio show! It’s called Off-Topic, and it’s a weekly talk show. It’s going to start Winter term, and it will be on Monday nights from 10pm to Midnight. Yes, it is kind of an odd time-slot for a talk show, but seeing as how we didn’t have any [...]
scott vandehey – 8 of 10 results are me! And the #1 spot! (I actually know Father Scott Vandehey, he wrote a book about the Vandehey family) space ninja – 1 of 10, #1 spot! obeso the pirate – 9 of 10, #1 spot! steve havelka – 4 of 10, #1 spot! (result appear to [...]
Yesterday was kick-ass! We decided to have a local thanksgiving dinner with friends, and the whole thing just kept getting bigger. I guess everyone thought it was a good idea, because everyone came! We had two turkeys, like three bowls of stuffing, and a ton of other food. Annie and I were there, of course, [...]
So, I ‘wake up’ after a party where there was a one-legged guy and a bunch of other people I don’t know partying in my room, and a couple of girls are in my apartment. I don’t know one of them, and the other one, despite the fact that I don’t recognize her, I just [...]
(republished from a comment Sean made) I recently saw Hollow Man. I wasn’t going to at first, but now that the KOIN has been bitchslapped by Regal from an arthouse to a discount house, I’ve got more motivation to see mainstream crap, namely that I can do it free at the KOIN where I feel [...]
I’ve been watching a lot of movies lately. I love movies, and now that I have money again, it makes sense I would start seeing them again. Urn and I watched Pitch Black (again for me) and it was still really really cool. I’m amped about Red Planet. Can’t beat Val Kilmer, Trinity and a [...]
there’s something unique about the nature of waking up in a pool of your own vomit. i don’t think it’s possible to understand the true indignity of it unless it’s happened to you. we all joke about it, but i don’t know if we ever knew what it was like to take a shower afterward [...]
“Here’s what sucks: writing software with the goal of producing something IT managers want to buy, rather than producing something that people want to use.” – Jamie Zawinski
Well, it was snowing the morning, which was cool right up until the point where I had to bike to work. In addition to being cold and wet, I had snow blowing in my eyes, so that I couldn’t see. However, the end result of this is that I bought some cool sunglasses at Bi-Mart. [...]
So my new job is pretty cool. It’s computer stuff, and graphics stuff, and after two months with no hope of a job, it’s about 100 times cooler than I was expecting any job I got to be. My coworkers seem a little strange, but overall pretty cool. Once we’re all more comfortable together, I’m [...]
If there’s one thing that Miles and I can relate on (if not agree on), it’s the frustrating feeling of preferring one Operating System/Platform over the one that is favored by the majority of people in your field. Miles is a programmer/gamer who loves Macintosh, and I’m a graphic designer who loves PCs. We’ve talked [...]
MILES: Must get a job! JOB SEEKING GUIDE: When people are having trouble focusing their career, I have them write their “Ideal First Month on the New Job.” This is a superb exercise for exploring, clarifying, and getting a sharper focus on your future. MILES: o o O Hmmm… IDEAL first month… MILES: {write write [...]
“You’re pretty uptight for a naked chick.” – The Simpsons
Hooray! I had an interview yesterday at ShirtWorks, a local t-shirt printing shop. They’ve been trying to hire a graphics production person for a couple months now, and somehow their ad in the paper never made it to the classified ads on the website at the same time I was checking it out. So last [...]
