burning

28-Aug-07

Greece is burning yet no one is talking about it. Why!?

Trying not to be dismal

28-Aug-07

So, Mare pointed out that my last entry wasn’t exactly sunshine and lollipops. If you’ve read Lisa’s weblog, you’ll probably gather that I wrote it sometime after the ER visit and learning that Nora was coming home with a ridiculously high fever. I’m not going to rehash what happened last week. I did want to [...]

badly

21-Aug-07

It never ceases to amaze me how, when things go badly, they go badly.

A Mystery

20-Aug-07

It’s odd. Very, very odd. Nora will sleep long stretches for anyone but mommy and daddy… she’ll sleep at daycare for hour long, hour and a half long naps, but when she comes home? and the weekends? We get 34 minutes to the dot. What’s more odd is that she’ll sleep in our arms for [...]

Two Weeks of…

17-Aug-07

_______. So, it turns out that the company mentioned in the call actually ‘failed’ us in February, making my existence here from 9-5 not leaving at all completely moot for the last six months. Ironies to end all ironies? They were understaffed. There’s a lot of details that go into how ridiculous this situation is, [...]

comedy of errors

16-Aug-07

I think you don’t quite understand the difficulty I’m facing. That’s why I encoded my latest phone call just for your amusement. This is what you call an infinite loop.

what are asides?

14-Aug-07

What are asides? Places to write short entries which are kept outside of the blog hierarchy. Translation: stupid posts with no point. Case in point: the layout hasn’t changed, just the header image. I really need to make my own.

Why Try Linux?

14-Aug-07

Why try Linux? Because XP is six years old. In comparison, Windows 98 is nine. No makes anything for Windows98, do they? Further, 98 and XP both had huge setbacks when they were first introduced, and rebounded by the end of their first year (after the release of their first service pack). I expect Vista [...]

How to screw with a small business in four easy steps

13-Aug-07

1. Show up unannounced for a survey of said business. Leave note saying you came. Say you’ll show up unannounced again, prompting proprietors to never leave the business for six months. 2. Pretend to come to the business at some point in the future when one of the proprietors is actually there; do not knock, [...]

It’s not all bad

10-Aug-07

Yesterday’s post was from the kitchen of our house, since I stayed home; poor Nora was fairly sick with a virus of unknown origins *cough*. She’s a trooper, though. She’s worn out, but she still smiles. I love that she isn’t a grumpy baby, even though she’s clearly very sick. I’m sick too, and the [...]
