No problems yet

Jessica’s Christmas present, a little Chesapeake Bay Retriever named Havoc, is sitting at my feet chewing on a dog bone. All of the dogs have been outside to go to the bathroom and the little one has been outside and gone twice (luckily I was watching her like a hawk and caught her before [...]

The wait sucks

In 13 hours I will know the results. In 13 hours the results of the job “interview” will be available for all to see. In 13 hours I might be happy or I might be waiting until next year so that I can try again.

I’m waiting on promotion results to arrive and [...]

Rock usually wins

In a game of paper-rock-scissors any of the three can win. In a game of rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock most people can’t keep track of the rules so the winner is seldom decided. When you play rock vs. eye rock always wins.

On Friday I wanted to take care of as many chores [...]

Weekend Getaways

So this past weekend John and I received our tax refunds. After budgeting some money in for our cars, we decided to splurge on ourselves. Friday night John and I decided that we were going to go snowboarding at Steven’s Pass. We threw together our stuff and ended up having some friends over for [...]

Numbers

1 – The number of Carats of the perfect solitaire engagement ring John gave me

545 – The number of days until we take the vow to spend the rest of our lives together

Last night John decided that we should [...]

It's Mine

These past two weeks have been probably the most stressful weeks I’ve ever been through. About a month ago I was notified about an official position in my lab, with my exact job duties. Basically they are getting rid of my intern position and giving the production team another official tech. There was also [...]

Yes We Can

Here it is America. We used our voices to demand a change and boy did we demand. I couldn’t be happier to say I exercised my American right and responsibility to elect President Barrack Obama. It’s amazing to think about how far we’ve come as a country and what we’ve been through as a [...]

10 of This to 1 of That

10 things I would like to say to 10 different people right now:

1. You make work not seem like work.

2. I don’t care what you believe in, we don’t. We are happy with the way we live our lives.

3. I wish that you could see your life through my eyes. [...]

31 days, 744 hours, or 44460 minutes

Irregardless of which way you add up the numbers, I’m going to spend a long time away from work. I have a bunch of leave available and I decided, hey, why not take a bunch of it all in one giant go? I won’t be traveling far from home during the duration of my [...]

Bluecoat – the harlotrous jezebel of pain

My opinion hasn’t changed in the past few months. I think Bluecoat is a horribly coded web filter that does a poor job of characterizing content. Much to my surprise, they have tweaked the algorithm and I’ve seen some noticable changes. First off, they no longer categorically block websites that have the word blog [...]
