“Look at how ‘It’s a wonderful life’ it is!” Belle commenting upon the largish snowflakes falling on Saturday afternoon, before I left for Milwaukee, which is originally Algonquin for “the good land”.* *I learned that from watching Wayne’s World. Party on. So this weekend. This is going to be a long entry. I’m warning you […]
I had to go to a client’s office again this morning, the orifice of all that is Disney. It’s like Michael Eisner himself threw up all over her desk. At 8:00 in the morning, I swear those idiotic apes from Jungle Book stare into your soul and threaten eternal damnation. They ritualistically chant and stare […]

tell” I had to give an overview of our software package at a client today. I got along well with the girl I was training, but instinctively I felt bad for her. Her desk was festooned with Disney paraphernalia. Dopey dispensed her tape. Grumpy gave out staples. A billion dollar mouse stared out from her […]

I’m having intense writer’s block this week. I have absolutely nothing to write about so I thought I’d just start an entry with no clue as to where it is going. I’m a little hungry. I’m waiting for the oven to heat up and then I will put in a Tombstone Thin Crust Pepperoni pizza. […]

I’m certain that everyone is wondering: Why did Weetabix torment the poor teacher by pummeling her lawn with rotten eggs and plastic utensils? Could that teacher have actually been all that bad?

I think Fate was laughing in my face this weekend. First off, you know how I made a special trip to Appleton to fetch me some Hob Nobs? Because three weeks ago, the Irish store lady swore that they’d have some Nobbly goodness the following week and I gave them two extra weeks for cushion? […]

I was on the phone with someone at work, during the course of my dreadfully boring job, and we were waiting for his computer to reboot or what have you’ that part of the conversation I mentally refer to as ‘Insert Small Talk Here’. I wasn’t really holding up my side of the conversation. I […]
So the karaoke. I had to work late, so I raced home to catch Survivor and got ready during the commercials. Esteban very nicely taped it for me, but it turned out to be the most anticlimactic Survivor ever. I felt so bad for Big Tom. I wanted to cry. I wanted him to win’ […]

All week, I have been looking forward to tonight. Boy Bar. I’m going to the Boy Bar tonight. Cute boys live at the Boy Bar. Damn cute boys. Everytime I go to Cute Boy Bar, a cute boy flirts with me. Fuck yeah. Girl Scout cookies ‘ it’s that time again. How many calories are […]

I don’t write about my job very much. It just occurred to me that I don’t. Mostly because it’s more or less boring. It’s like brushing your teeth. You don’t talk about it. You just do it and get on to the more exciting stuff. My official title is Advanced Support Specialist. To me this […]
