…why they put braille lettering on a DRIVE-UP ATM? I was running some errands today, and had to stop by the bank. As I was waiting for my receipt to print, this caught my eye, and I laughed out loud. I’d never noticed it up to now. I had to take a picture. This might [...]

“Like… I KNOW, Right?!?!?!?”

I slowly see myself turning into one of those grouchy old men. You know… the old geezer whom the neighborhood parents warn their kids to stay away from because he eats children. I had class this morning. Next week is the last week, then I’m done for good. I’m more than ready to be through [...]
Remember when you were young, and staying up all night was the cool thing to do? I have to say that work is going really well. I absolutely love my new job, and the more I learn, the more I love it. I couldn’t be happier. The biggest challenges, though, stem from the lack of [...]
You will remember my mental image I had of the woman upstairs. She walks like an elephant, so Jules and I both naturally assumed she was overweight. She also pisses us off by slamming things around upstairs and vacuuming non-carpeted floors at ridiculous hours in the morning. That just made my hideous image of her [...]

I had today off in observance of the holiday. I was pretty happy about it. President’s Day is one of those holidays you don’t want to work, since it’s not a “real” holiday. Many people are still in the office today, but my employer runs on “holiday staff” during President’s Day. For that reason, it’s [...]
When I got my new position at work, I had to move to a completely different building. I came from our help desk, where there are workstations set up, and anyone can sit pretty much anywhere they want. Since I got my own desk in the other building, they gave me my own computer. For [...]
Well, today is Valentine’s Day. There are pink heart decorations everywhere. All of the major retail outlets have a couple of aisles dedicated to candy, flowers, and love-stuff. Hallmark’s CEO is watching the revenue pile in by the minute. Millions of flowers are being delivered all over the country. Everyone is scrambling to get that [...]
Well, I’ve made it through my first week on the new job. I love it. I’m still the new/lost guy… but I’ve learned a lot already. It’ll just be a matter of time before I’m up to speed with the other folks on the team. Yesterday evening, I had a maintenance call I had to [...]
I don’t follow many blogs. My schedule is pretty full, both with things I need to do and things I want to do. Therefore, if you want my attention, you’d better be able to entertain me. You can see the list of blogs I follow over on the right. Lately, I’ve been falling behind in [...]
I was low on gas after work today, so I stopped at a nearby gas station to refuel. As I was getting ready to lift the handle off of the little thing, I noticed a sign above the screen on the pump. I wasn’t sure what to say. I have no idea what circumstances would’ve [...]
