I enjoy "Big Bang Theory" more than I ought to admit.

Malaysia, again

2009-06-09T17:39:13Z

More Malaysia talk, this time from my direct manager.

They're talking 2 quarters overseas, starting in the next couple of months.

Sent Away

2009-03-30T01:12:44Z

There are moves afoot at work to send me to Malaysia for 6-12 months. I guess any place further away wouldn't have me.

Thirsty

2009-03-10T21:23:31Z

I went to the other cafeteria today and the soda fountains were down because they were OUT OF WATER.

Blah blah blah

2009-03-05T21:49:10Z

Training all day long. more powerpoint than the law allows!

they even snuck in an extra session 3-5 which I didn't find out about because I'm in training and can't read my calendar.

Better late than nev... no, never would have been better

UPS delivered a package yesterday that they originally claimed to have delivered on 12/18. Amazon long ago send me another one. It would have been easier had this one never showed up, since now I have to send one of the copies back.

Actually, now I have to figure out how to send one back first, since the normal returns form on the website say that is is outside of the returns window.

Hey, they have winter here

2008-12-14T23:18:27Z

Still going!

"You should know who this is"

The one thing worse than failing to identify yourself when you call me is REFUSING to identify yourself when you call me. Also, it's a good way to get me to hang up.

Somebody was having a good time, and it wasn't me

2008-07-02T20:02:00Z

On my way out of the apartment complex this morning, someone's bikini was hanging on the fence around the pool.

I lead a life of excitement and danger

2008-07-01T01:52:40Z

Tomorrow I get to go for jury selection.

Once

2008-06-01T05:59:08Z

I so love a film where the guy doesn't get the girl.

Pants

2008-04-28T15:54:50Z

At the light rail station this morning someone has left behind their pants. That implies either a really bad day or a really good one.

Blah blah graphics blah blah

2008-04-24T19:25:38Z

I need heather here to explain this presentation to me before I fall asleep.

Earth Day introduces yet another way to annoy me

2008-04-22T19:54:03Z

For Earth Day, the cafeteria at work sold "no beef products and limited cheese products". To heck with that; I come from a long line of cow murderers and I'm not sorry.

Besides, the implication that *all* cows are bad for the environment will hurt the cows' feelings, and surely there must be someone who will protest that.

When will I ever need to know this?

2008-04-22T17:08:33Z

In a shocking development, I actually used calculus for something at work. The chain rule, to be precise.

So stay in school, kids. You really will use it someday. (No, it still doesn't make you cool.)

Geek cred, I hasn't it

2008-04-16T22:03:33Z

I am so ashamed. I've bought a PRE-BUILT desktop computer.

Fedex scares me again

2008-04-12T02:19:08Z

I came home to find a Fedex door tag that had "on porch" written on it. Mind you, I live in a 2nd floor apartment with no back entrance, so I was immediately confused by where the delivery might actually be.

It was *really* on my second floor porch with no back entrance.

Delivery Exception

2008-04-01T19:51:40Z

So far, Fedex has screwed up 2 of 2 shipments related to my broken cell phone.

The first shipment was scanned as delivered but put back on the truck. It was found back at the depot, but they had to look it up by address since the tracking number was scanned at "delivery" and the door tag number was never scanned at all.

The second shipment was standard overnight but did not leave Memphis until 6:41 am so it didn't get to Portland until after the delivery trucks had already left. I paid AT&T an extra $12 to send it overnight.

I can has business case?

icanhascheezburger.com has 9 employees and turns a profit.

Now they're not even trying

2008-02-04T15:40:52Z

The spam bots on Yahoo messenger now say "bot_army" in their fake user name. Just in case you could figure out that they're spammy.

They're playing an NHL game in Buffalo... *outside*.

From the "Things I Never Knew" Dept.

2007-11-26T03:38:01Z

I was born on July 19, 1974.

My parents were married on Feb. 23, 1974.

And taxes

2007-11-13T03:28:00Z

My father died this afternoon.

I have to go do whatever it is you do to take care of these situations, starting with figuring out what I'm supposed to do.

So I'll be even less talkative here that usual. Or maybe more.

I made you a cake but I eated it

2007-10-15T14:50:05Z

happy birthday heather. 8-)
