why I’m carrying a two-string bass around the office

Friday, January 11th, 2008

so…this morning, while enduring my marathon of a commute to the train station (okay, it’s only a mile, but at 5:15am everything feels magnified!), I was flipping through the radio stations. I got about 5 stations in on my presets when I was struck by a Mack truck of sound, and I spun headlong into […]

good morning, part 2

Monday, October 22nd, 2007

so…two posts in one morning…some strange is afoot…
actually, nothing strange, just three more things…
to counter the effects of the 5 people in the office that MUST turn on ALL of the overhead lights in the office WITHOUT warning, I need to invent a “cone of darkness.” It would be like the “cone of silence” on […]

so…last night, after Sammy’s bath, he leaned over to me and said:
“Dad, not just knee deep, she was totally deep, when she did the freak with me.”
Clear as day!
What can I say? He loves the P-Funk!

so…Ant Invasion 2007 has commenced in our kitchen, and I’ll go on the record as saying I support a reduction in troops immediately!
Fucking ants!
I thought we were going to luck out this year, because the invasion usually occurs in the spring, but nooooooo, we’ve got to be in some bizarre El NiƱo con mi primo […]

dang! Which one is Pink?

Friday, August 31st, 2007

so…yesterday turned out to be the longest work day I’ve had in 6-7 years: 6am - 9 pm.
True, there was a quarterly business meeting last night that might have involved some drinks, but seriously, how relaxing is a drink if you’re talking about work?

monday randomness…

Monday, August 27th, 2007

so…
I left my building ID at home today. I hate when I do that! Now I’ve got to walk around with this “visitor pass” sticker all day, and knock on the office door to get in should I have to leave if nature calls…

If I leave the house 5 minutes later than usual, I get […]

so…it’s my birthday today.
Thanks Mom!

I really hate when people can’t do their job correctly.
Last Wednesday I stopped at the parking garage to renew my pass. Normally they give you until the third of the month to renew, but I hadn’t renewed my pass in February so there would be no such perk for me.
I […]
