Non-resolution
I didn’t make any New Year resolutions; I have enough trouble keeping up with the day-by-day ad hoc stuff. Over break I got done a number of minor things I wanted to do, and dealt with some fix-me-now problems, but I let most of my bigger plans slide. At least for me, getting to the [...]

Coffee is good for you
I drink coffee. A lot. Neither the cup on my desk at work nor the one on my desk at home stays empty for very long. I’m pretty sure that my cups per day stat is in the double digits. I probably should measure my consumption in pots rather than cups. Fortunately for my wallet, [...]

The good, the bad, and the ugly
This picks up from where “So much for rest and relaxation” left off. Good: The work crew didn’t finish, so we didn’t have to go in to move equipment. Bad: They rescheduled it for the 29th. Good thing I didn’t have plans for then, eh? Good: I went in anyway to finish updating my laptop, [...]

So much for rest and relaxation
So far this week, “break” has been good-news / bad-news. Monday Bad: Went to work Monday at 9am, didn’t leave til 8pm. What with other things I needed to do after that, I didn’t get home til about 10:30pm. Good: Got my office cleaned up a little bit, and I think I got all the [...]

Christmas Break 2009
My Christmas break begins today. Officially I’m off until January 4th, but I may go into work Monday to take care of a few last-minute chores and catch up on office housekeeping I just didn’t want to deal with Friday evening. There are also three days when it’s my turn to drive in to rotate [...]

Planning, conflict, MBTI, and bowling
This has been an interesting, if somewhat draining, week at work — filled with meetings, professional development sessions, and even an afternoon of bowling for the entire staff. Each year the leadership team assembles to review our past year’s performance and to develop goals for next year. This year, interleaved with the planning sessions, were [...]

Pizza FAIL
A night or two ago I got home late and tired from work and decided that I should treat myself to a pizza, so I placed an online order with Dominos (yeah, I know, but they’re close by) as I’ve done before. Someone else make my food and bring it to me: WIN. … time [...]

Radiant Orange Soda
Usually I drink only coffee — lots and lots of coffee. Recently, however, I’ve been on a Sunkist orange soda binge. I don’t know why; maybe it’s the caffeine, or the unique taste, but I suspect that it’s as much due to the color as anything else. Every time I look at a glass of [...]

Night Owl
I’m an extreme night owl. The image illustrates what you get if you wake me up early in the morning (if I manage to get out of zombie mode). In other words, do not wake me up early, snarl. With no constraints on my time, my sleep cycle drifts toward waking up between 2 and [...]
