    Today is my 13 year anniversary at the company where I work. It sounds like a lot, but I know people who’ve been here a lot longer than I have. In fact, I know several people who’ve worked here over 30 years and a handful that have worked here over 40 years! These days, it…

    “…a rare month for boys.” It’s one of my favorite opening lines to a book, ever and I can only use that line once a year or so. If I’m being repetitive, well, what’s new really? Some bills paid today, rent, phone bill, and a few others. Had a letter from Trevor and thepopeswife over…

  • Last day of the fiscal year

    28 Sep 2007 » 1 min read about Work & Career

    Today is the last work day of the fiscal year at my company. People are running around like mad trying to get things done before the day is over. I find it all very strange. It’s so arbitrary that monies need to spent and projects need to be concluded by the end of the fiscal…

    I was in bed at 6:45 PM last night. I watched a few episodes of M*A*S*H and then was out cold. I guess I’d been pretty tired. Up at 5:30 this morning so I got a decent night’s sleep. It’s been a busy day here. But for the 5th day in a row, I did…

  • My calendar

    14 Sep 2007 » 2 min read about Work & Career

    On Friday’s I always review my work calendar for the next week to see just how hectic things are going to be. Here is my calendar for next week. It’s fairly typical: As usual, Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. But the other days aren’t much better. You may be wondering about a…

  • Want to see something gross, try this

    27 Aug 2007 » 1 min read about Work & Career

    I’ve never thought to try this before, but a little while ago, I picked up my office keyboard, turned it upside down, and shook it over my desk for about a minute. The resulting mess was not pretty.

  • For kruppenheimer

    23 Aug 2007 » 1 min read about Work & Career

    My office chair has begun to squeak whenever I lean back. I’ve had this chair for something like 8 or 9 years. It may be time for some oil. (Why “for kruppenheimer“? Because…)
