It’s been called off. In addition to, evidently, nobody thinking a person with degrees in history and library science could be a decent web programmer (I can, really!) I realized that the flexibility my current job provides far outweighs the gap between my current and deserved salaries.
But if you insist on trying to give me [...]

I had a lovely conversation with a friend today; let’s call her B because she’s looking for a job and apparently doesn’t want anyone to know anything about her. She warned me about some scary information-aggregating sites and how much of my information was out there. ‘Doubt it,’ I said in my best Carl the [...]

I find it nearly impossible to talk at a normal volume on the phone, at least if others are around. While most people seem to take the absence of another person physically and translate it into a need to shout, as though more decibels will ensure that their message gets through the phone lines safely, [...]

(This is another five minute writing exercise, though I modified it a bit to meet my whims)
The olive polo shirt I’m wearing is a thatched weave, almost. Were I to know more about sewing and fabrics then I could be more specific, but instead I will have to allow it to suffice in that it [...]

A personality test of sorts:
How do you eat your food? Assuming you have multiple foods in a meal — say, a burrito, rice and beans — do you eat all of one before moving on to the next, or eat them all equally?

There may not be any hoverboards, but I am typing this out on my shiny — if fingerprint riddled — iPhone.

(I had originally intended this to immediately follow The Last Piece of Pie, but then we kinda drove to DC and have been being social and whatnot.)
I had said on Twitter that I need to write more. I really enjoy it (I do so love the sound of my own voice), and it’s very easy [...]

Recently, I got ‘tagged’ in a ‘note’ on Facebook, whatever the hell that means. I only found out about it because Facebook emailed me to that effect, and the tagger was an honest-to-god person who I have seen at some point in the past six months, not a high school acquaintance who I probably said [...]

I have weird dreams. Ask me sometime about my recursive nightmare or ‘invisible pee from five feet up’ ones from my childhood, or the infamous ‘riding naked with gangster John Kerry’ of 2004.
My brain seemed to want to end the year on a ‘the hell?’ note, so I had quite a few odd ones last [...]

All of my posts are essentially ‘Yeah, I’m not posting, because all of my time is going towards Gaming Shenanigans and Beer-O-Vision,’ aren’t they? Well, uh, sorry, because this one is no different.
This post is actually entirely useless except as a guinea pig one, a glorified lorem ipsum, because I’m testing a new theme for [...]
