Some of you may remember Obey Fojar from back in the day, my rather blatant knock-off of the propaganda stylings of Obey Giant. That site isn’t even online anymore, and although I have it archived, I’m not going to restore it because, wow, that’s some bad stuff. Take photo, run posterize photoshop filter, convert colors [...]
packing tally so far: eight paper boxes of books. one paper box of CDs two paper boxes of movies. Yes, the packing has started. Filled out a change of address form at the post office today, gathered my stuff from the tek office, and got Shem to fill out the paperwork to terminate me. He [...]
My workplace is approximately a 25 foot cube. 5 of the 6 wall are concrete, and one is drywall. All are painted white. There are fluorescent lights on the ceiling that are always off in favor of the halogen lamps we bought on the theory that while they might be a fire hazard, at least [...]
There are certain things that you just come to expect from a computer technician job. You will work in a dungeon. The office will either actually be underground, or the windows will be covered to prevent glare. Your coworkers will be social in spurts. Sometimes an hour or two will go by where three people [...]
goddammit… My friend’s wedding is this weekend, at the beach. This is a good thing. Annie and I made plans with my parents to go to the beach cabin for the weekend, and they’ll drop us off at the wedding. I don’t want to learn to drive, but this bumming rides off people sucks. Anyway, [...]
My boss is the biggest pain in ass. Well, that’s the problem, he’s not really my boss. He’s my punk-ass supervisor. My real boss hired Beamer because he was kinda spineless and we could all talk him into doing anything. So he hired Beamer as an enforcer. This morning I got to work, and while [...]
“I’m a very important man, with lots of responsibilities, and if those responsibilities happen to take me to porn sites, well then you have no right to question that!” – B-Tag (as our boss likes to refer to himself) yelling at a technician who found porn on his work computer
TRUE STORY: One time I walked into the tek room and Steve ran up and said “Scott! I’m glad you’re here! I have to show this to someone!!” And he then proceeded to walk me through the entire event. He came into the tek room, sat down at his computer and tried to print something. [...]
I was awake for 37 hours on Friday. It was pretty cool. Pulling an all-nighter on a night when you’re just goofing around is a very different experience than pulling an all-nighter desperately trying to finish a term paper in an hour that should have taken a week to write. Normally, all-nighters are such a [...]
Well, I haven’t made an entry in two months. That’s a bit too long for an update, I think. Hmmm… what’s been going on with me… Annie and I are still getting along great, and life in our apartment is awesome. We’ve finally gotten over the debt that accompanies a move, and have gotten to [...]
Too scatterbrained to write much right now, so I’m going to update you by category. Girlfriend/Home: In case you didn’t hear, these two have merged. Annie and I live together now in a lovely place called Goose Hollow. We got a one-bedroom apartment with orange counter-tops, and got all moved in over three days. Things [...]
Man, what a great weekend!! Everything’s just been going my way! Friday started out great… I slept in, went to my team meeting for work, ate pizza, and then we got out of the meeting early to go to the Tek Fair! I headed up there to see what there was to see, since Mark [...]
It’s 4am. I’m wide awake and in the computer lab. Why am I wide awake? Well, because I stayed up all night last night and didn’t go to bed until 9am, and then got up at 4pm, so I’ve only been up for 12 hours, naturally! Why am I in the computer lab? Well, to [...]
