So, aside from my love for icy diet pepsi, I have a thing for Dunkin’ Donuts coffee — large iced hazelnut coffee with skim milk and sugar. Now, here’s my problem: I’ve worked for my company for almost five years, and I’ve been going to the same DD the whole time. Every morning, I order […]

I’m getting more eyeballs, and mentioned in more blogs! Can I get a “wooohooo”?

I got my first mention in someone’s blog today (other than Erika’s)! Michele (a fire inside) has had the same elevator issues that I’ve had!!!

If you’ve ever used Napster — I haven’t, but I’ve heard — you’ve probably run into people who list themselves as 14.4K connections, but really have a Cable or T1.

We’re having another all-staff meeting today. Last one, last wednesday, resulted in 86 people getting laid off. This one is to talk about the “transition” — yes, my company lays people off, and then figures out how to handle the work with fewer employees — I love the internet industry!
The company I work for was […]

So, Erika (snazzykat) pointed out to me last night that the company that supplies our development enivronment, Vignette, is fucked!!! It’s not a suprize to me, but it’s still fun…I’m pretty sure that my company is responsible for a drop in there revenue — when we signed the multi-million dollar licensing deal with them, we […]

Ok…so, I’ve determined that I live in an urban area full of people who were either dropped on their heads at birth, or ate too much lead paint chips, or something. This morning, while trying to get on the train, I experienced yet another candidate for electro-shock therapy.
There is an escalator in the train station […]
