According to one of the Ops guys at work, I’m Da MAAAAN. I’m not sure what I should do to cement my status as DA MAAAAAN, but I’m open to suggestions.

Mary Chen is back! She used to work here at AOL, and she’s dang funny. It looks like she’ll be posting regular, so you can start keeping up with daily Chen goodness… and until then, you can go catch up.

I don’t feel like working at the moment because I’m in the throws of a novacaine headache (last one for a few weeks, thank goodness). I’ve tried Motrin, Exedrin and closing my eyes. Now, I’ve resorted to a brownie and a Dr. Pepper to see if that’ll snap it. I had the impression taken for […]

My boss took us all to Legal Seafood in Tyson’s for lunch today. It was awesome. Now, you remember me telling you about my allergy to shrimp and later to crab (maybe I didn’t tell you, because I can’t find the post now)? Well, you can add scallops to that list. I got the assorted […]

Wow. I never thought fajitas could have such a punch. We went to our local Mexican chain last night before my sister’s play (which I’ll talk about later). I got the lovely and tasty chicken and steak fajitas. Everything was fine until we were on the way back to my parents’ house. The pain in […]

Jen bought a new digital scale on Saturday and we had a morbidly fun time weighing ourselves (Max included, although he wouldn’t stand still on it long enough to be accurate, he’s around 34 pounds).

It’s huge! We got our new big TV on Friday (through an employee discount, I didn’t pay that much really) and spent the weekend ogling its friggin’ huge perfect picture. Watching football will never be the same. I can see everything now. It’s easier to track the ball, and there’s less confusion about what’s happening […]

I resolved not to watch anything on TV with “9/11” in the title. That left me with very few options, which was fine with me. I played with Max, cleaned up, waited for Jen to get home, and played some Jak and Daxter (beat the big robot at the end… now I have to go […]

I’ve linked to my friend Mike’s climbing stories before. Mike has deigned to grace us with his presence in the wonderful world of blogging. Mike’s a great guy (my former boss) and an excellent writer. Be on the look out for great things (no pressure, Mike, no pressure at all).

For a day with no meetings, today has been insane. I’ve rewritten a document that took me two weeks the first time in less than three hours. I’ve fixed a dozen problems with a dozen different products. I’ve tried to find an answer to an “urgent” question that apparently has no answer (because the people […]
