Everyone knows somebody who has lost a job recently. Are they all men? Apparently. My brother is in an [...]
Its true. Just like Lover Boy said. Everybody IS working for the weekend. And while everyone else is enjoying this holiday with family and friends I’m at work doing the same thing I do every Monday. Well for the most part the same thing except in a tshirt and jeans. Its [...]
My work can sometimes get slow. Apparently the department I work in is notorious for this. Heck even our old janitor felt secluded enough here to take naps everyday. He is retired now so maybe he felt like he didn’t care. Wish I didn’t have to care!

Well The Man tried to bring me down today. There was a change implemented today that blocked access to Gmail Chat. Which for those of you who don’t know Gmail allows you to chat from your Gmail interface. I guess its what they got to do. You know because nobody here emails using their personal [...]
Yesterday I was standing on the street corner outside my work when a strange Tahoe (like the one pictured) drove by. It said something like Facet on the side and I thought to myself,”thats a strange truck…and it says Facet.” Then as it drove off I saw the Windows Live Local on the back and I knew [...]
I often wonder what good chasing the wind is. This song is probably how it would leave you feeling. I can relate at least.

My Horoscope
I sit at this table and I stare at my hands.
Everyday they go to look up,
Their more like my dads.
And I trace these veins that run up and down [...]
Just a dude with a blog that probably shouldn't have one.
