My first actually failing computer?
And it’s at a computer company for which I work, and I can’t even diagnose it. I love it. Anyone wanna see a tech support agent call tech support?

And still employed is me!
Just about nothing scares me nowadays. I mean, hell, I live in a city where a guy could quite easily kick the royal crap out of you in broad daylight as though it wasn’t broad daylight. But I was, well, just a tiny bit concerned when the guy I was … Read the rest

Is this the international day of dialup?
I just got finished the third call in a row I could do something with wherein the customer’s on dialup. That combined with the fact I’m not the only one here who’s got that problem makes me think every year or so, there is an international dialup day. And today … Read the rest

Kissing hour number 2, and…
I’m still no closer to actually waking up, despite help from the cold that is mother nature. It sucks. Loads. But, 6.5 hours longer and I can go home. And watch my poor hockey team lose another game. Or maybe I’ll just order pizza. Or maybe not. Maybe I’ll decide … Read the rest

My boss can read minds.
Staying up all night is a bad idea, even if I do end up talking to a very wonderful young lady in the process. But I did, so I’ll probably pay dearly for it today. Not this morning, however. I came in half bagged, and the boss bought me coffee. … Read the rest

I should not be allowed to think before 9, ever again.
Bad things happen. For example, yesterday. I went to work, which ordinarily wouldn’t be all that big a deal. Except I saw the exact same warning I posted about yesterday, in preliminary form, on Saturday. I guess I should have got the hint when the first three words of the … Read the rest
