So, day one of my two-day sanity check: Woke up a little after normal time so I could watch Max so Jen could do church stuff. Watched Max all morning, played and tickled and laughed. Put Max down for a nap. Ate leftovers for lunch (from the FAB-U-LOUS roast from Sunday – want the recipe? […]
My mom’s into genealogy (I know I spelled that wrong – don’t care – you’ll see why later). Through contacts in the family, and lots of research, she’s traced our ancestors back to the 1600s on her side, and to the 1700s on my dad’s. I hate to shock anyone who knows me, but I’m […]
Hey kiddies and welcome to Monday here at LawverLand. Today, in an effort to combat boredom and the residual anger of layoffs, I’m wearing an amazing Hawaiian shirt. It’s leaves and tropical flowers in four or five outrageous shades of blue. I can’t take myself seriously in it, and I hope no one else does. […]
Yeah, baby, it’s Saturday! We’re taking it easy, watching bad made-for-TV movies and eating fast food. I did get something done: I went to Burlington Coat Factory and found some sweeeet Hawaiian shirts on sale. Yum-may. I’m taking a couple days off next week to recharge. After the past few weeks of edge-of-the-seat sitting and […]
So, everything’s in disarray. Yup, you said it. I have no idea who I’m working with anymore outside of my own group. So, until that’s all settled you’ll be hearing a lot more from me. I plan on doing some playing, some upgrading, some code-writing on pet projects and taking it easy until everyone gets […]
OpenBrackets has an excellent explanation of tu vs. vous for the wannabe Francophiles out there (I tried explaining this exact thing to my wife the other day and failed miserably – this is much better).
I have no idea why this came to me last night while I was trying to go to sleep, but it did: scene: A late-night talk show hosted by a non-descript white guy with nice hair and perfect teeth. Host: Everyone, please put your hands together for the Prince of Darkness himself, Satan!! <applause> A […]
I had no idea I had any influence over people. None at all. I was wrong! Isn’t that scary? Because we’ve been hanging around for three weeks with rumors of layoffs, and no word from management, I figured it was time for some civil disobedience. Nothing major like a “naked @ work day” or anything, […]
I lost my favorite project manager today. He’s not dead, and he was kind of pulling for it, but damned if it doesn’t feel like he’s dead. I feel like having a funeral for him. “Poor Jim, he was taken too soon.” And best yet, we have a big meeting @ 5, so I can’t […]
Today could not suck more. Sorry, but it had to be said.
