This is both strange and funny. I didn’t sleep much last night. For some reason, I just couldn’t sleep. I tried for a while, and finally, turned on the light and read until I finally could sleep. The result is that I got very little sleep. I was up this morning at 5:30, came into…
I was busy today and didn’t have much time to post. I did get out of the office by 4:30, however, and headed over to the Crystal City Sports Pub for Happy Hour. I was there with John and Leanna and Leanna’s brother and Kelly. The rest of the usual crowd wasn’t around and we…
Today, August 1, 2007, marks the 5-year anniversary of my time in the metropolitan Washington, D.C. area. In some ways, the time has zoomed by. Nevertheless, though I arrived in the D.C. area a few days before August 1, 2002, it was not until August 1 that I had my first official day of work…

I came back to work today after a month of vacation. I can’t believe it went by so quickly! I was up at 4:30 AM in order to go to the gym this morning. When I got into my office, I found that it had been graffitied with Red Sox stuff everywhere. Actually, that doesn’t…
I was hungry at 10 AM and was craving a sandwich, so I walked over to Harris Teeters and had them make me their sandwich of the day, which happens to be a tuna salad sandwich. Great sandwich, it really hit the spot. Only one problem: It’s just about the messiest sandwich I’ve ever eaten.
Long workday today, but I felt like I got a fair share of things done. I’ve got 2 more major tasks that I’d like to try and get done this week so that they are completed by the time my boss gets back from his vacation on Monday. I was in meetings for most of…
I had my first-ever dizzy-spell this morning. Something didn’t feel quite right all morning long and I couldn’t put my finger on it. Then, while I was in a phone meeting with our Europe office, the room started to spin, even though I was perfectly still. It got so bad that I thought I might…
This was a long, busy week at work so several of us decided to head out for an abbreviated happy hour. Leanna, Carmen, Todd, Paraag and myself headed to Champps and chatted over a few beers before we all split up for the weekend. It was very hot and humid out today and the beers…
Just home from the softball game (we won 35-7!) and I was so busy today that I did not have any time to blog. Not much going on today outside of work and softball. I got the cable bill in the mail, and my landlord is sending someone over to clean out the gutters. It’s…
We had a fun happy hour tonight. It was a long work day. I wore shorts to work today, mainly because yesterday my scraped-up knee kept rubbing up inside my jeans yesterday and I wanted it to breath today so that it could scab over. Anyway, it was good because it was hot. I had…
Just about my entire team works in Santa Monica. Two of the team members work in Pittsburgh and I am the only one here in Washington. That means most of my meetings are audio-conferences. I rarely see faces. While we have video conferencing rooms, we never use them. Today, however, I installed a Logitech QuickCamTM…
