Home alone

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

So Josh is out of town for the week. As corny as it sounds, tonight is the first night we’ve not spent together since we got married. As elated as I am to have the house to myself, I had moment of “Knock, knock, who’s there, CRAZY” when I got home from work.
Really, [...]

While sitting at a redlight…

Saturday, July 21st, 2007

…I saw this. People will put anything on their cars (and people with camera phones will take pictures of anything on other people’s cars). It might take you a second to spot it. Click for a larger version to see it better.

Scraping the dregs of the brain barrel

Thursday, July 19th, 2007

Today on I-85 a tractor trailer full of laundry detergent overturned. Lucky for me, it was on the opposite side of the interstate from me. I was really hoping that it would smell all springtime fresh when I drove by, but alas. It did not.
Hey I got a new phone! Fresh [...]

There goes the new furniture I wanted

Tuesday, July 17th, 2007

I had thought about venting some of my recent frustrations about working at [The Internet]. Thought I could indicate how annoyed I was that I got in trouble with my boss AND my boss’ boss for a small detail. And how the resulting slap-on-the-wrist by my boss’ boss was broadcast over speakerphone by [...]

Four-eyes

You requested it, so here you go: the new glasses. Courtesy of my phone’s camera.

(I got them in black, too. Because they were on sale, and I’m a girl. Duh, your glasses have to match your outfit.)

Here’s an update. Now I’m going home.

Ok, you know what invention was a good idea in theory but not in practice? Those little 100 calorie cookie packs. I bought a box of them for work thinking, “Oh hey, this will keep me from over-munching while I sit at my desk. I’ll just eat one little pack at a [...]

The view from my phone: 2

Sunday, July 8th, 2007

More pictures that I took with my phone.

This is my parents’ cat, Lucy. We call her “Killer.”

We call her “Killer” because she does things like this–decapitates chipmunks and leaves them on the doorstep. It’s the cat version of the horse head in the bed, I think.

As for Gaby, we might as well just [...]

Confessions of a former teenage nerd

Wednesday, July 4th, 2007

I will start with a side note: I suck at checking my comment moderation queue. So if you ever leave a comment and it doesn’t appear instantly, don’t take it personally. I’ll find it eventually. And once your comment gets moderated, it shouldn’t fall in the queue again. I think.
I have [...]

An email I almost sent

Monday, July 2nd, 2007

In reply to a mis-sent email from one of our customers (after they received an over-bandwidth alarm). Because clearly I have the sense of humor of a 12 year-old.
From the customer…
