Today was a glorious day. My phone contract was up, which meant i could get rid of the shitty blackberry that I’ve had for the past 2 years. I should have returned it within the first 14 days and avoided the hell that was using that piece of junk….but my lazy arse didn’t….so I suffered. [ Read More ]

Once again, not feeling well, i dragged myself into the office because of a meeting. The good news was though, that I got a metric-crap-tonne of work done before the meeting (at 10am), and then some more shortly after it. At around midday, I completely bombed though, and needed to go home and rest. I [ Read More ]
After being out for a couple of days, I went back into work today…not because I was feeling any better, but because I had a meeting that I needed to go to. At the end of the day, I could have missed it, but it would have probably ended up meaning more work to catch [ Read More ]
Another day away from the office, but not totally away from work. I took care of a couple of things before hitting the couch and catching up on “Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations,” “The Daily Show,” and “The Experiment” (the movie based on the Stanford Prison Experiment). I don’t feel rested. I don’t feel any better [ Read More ]
Woke up this morning, put on my brand new gloves. Wait…wrong song. The allergy/cold thing got the best of me today, so I spent the day at home, trying to relax and sleep….but I didn’t. I ended up doing some work for a couple of hours, and then watching tv. It was a relaxing day [ Read More ]
Melody left her keys at White Lake, so this morning she had to drive half-way there to meet her Mom to retrieve them. Because we only had one functional car, I worked from home for the first part of the day, and then in the afternoon drove in for a meeting. — Afterward, I headed [ Read More ]
Today was Easter. We don’t really have the same type of chocolate-laden Easter that I enjoyed back in Australia, but we made up for it with good food. Our menu consisted of ham, green bean casserole, tomato-pie (surprisingly awesome), twice-baked potatoes, cranberry & pineapple compote/sauce. We did get to hang out with Avery (my niece, [ Read More ]
Today I spent 90% of my time on the couch, watching soccer, and performing a clean-up on an extended family member’s laptop. It’s been a while since I’ve had to work on a PC, but lucky for me all the same tricks still work. I removed the common problems (add-on toolbars, shareware programs, startup items), [ Read More ]
Not sure why, but this week felt like it took about 8 months to go from Monday to Friday. I did have a decent lunch today though — we went to “Chow” in north raleigh (burger/beer joint that had pretty good food….at least my burger was). — With it being the Easter weekend, and with [ Read More ]
This morning I was at work at 7am as usual…but it may as well have been 3am. I was exhausted. This weekend cannot get here too quickly. It was good on the morning coffee run (i go along for the fresh air only), that I could be outside, in shorts, without even the hint of [ Read More ]
