  • I wrote a long, bitchy post about Mrs. S last night and when I went to post it, there was a Xanga server error and I lost it. It was 1 a.m. and I wasn't in a position to write it all again. It seems like whenever I don't…

  • I think in the last three weeks, I've averaged 16 hour workdays during the week and about 8 hour days on the weekend. I am exhausted and can't think about moving or anything else right now because it just makes me so ten…

  • So last night, I was reading over the lease paperwork for my apartment. The lease is up at the end of the month, and I had planned to re-sign for another year. We've lived here 5 1/2 years, and while it's not a great apa…

  • A little earlier this month, my friend Stacey asked if I was in some kind of nightmare this month. The answer is yes. Man, I can't wait for January.

  • Well, we're about done with the gifts and showers and are getting ready to go to my cousin's, but I thought I'd show you the gift highlights: Mack, the budding filmmaker, got this JVC Mini-DV camera, along with a tripod…

  • Santa fell asleep before the kids did last night, so Santa had to get up early to get the stockings stuffed and everything. We're opening presents when Alex wakes up, and then heading over to my cousin's later this morn…

  • Hi. I'm busy now, and I know some of you asked to be added to my protected list. I'm not ignoring you, really. I'll add you tomorrow or the next day, and let you know when you're added. I've been working very hard on de…

  • As seen on TheUnseenUndine & others. Interesting to see how different things are in different regions. When I was just a wee Office, I split my time between California and Tennessee, and people in Tennessee generally…

  • All right. Nothing has changed on the job front other than Mr. S is acting like nothing happened on Friday. I would imagine he's going to lecture me later. we'll see, and I'll keep you informed. I had a lot of stuff a…

  • A personal note to Stacey: I'm having trouble getting e-mail to you. I hope you got what I sent--a short one and a longish one. Thanks for the great comments. A quick update, as I have one million things to get done tod…

  • Mr. S threatened to fire me this morning. I think he meant it. Details later. Merry fucking Christmas.

  • Thanks for the well wishes for a better day today. So far, it hasn't really been too good. Mr. S is extraordinarily cranky, Mrs. S is still Mrs. S. This is one of those days I have to be careful not to go home and yell a…

  • Protected post below. Leave a comment if you can't see it and would like to.

  • Hi. I was barely on the computer at all over the weekend. I had about 12 episodes of City Confidential on the TiVo, and that pretty much sums up the weekend. If you don't watch that show, you need to start...like, yeste…

  • I was almost right about Mack's surprise. It did invlove Christmas lights and duct tape. She decorated the house, sort of like Will Ferrell did in Elf, but not quite on such a grand scale or with the same attention to d…

  • Well, that article that I was so happy with last week is all screwed up now because one of the people I talked to didn't have permission to talk to me about the project he's working on. I had no idea. I'm not really sur…

  • First photo taken with new camera phone.

  • Our Top Story: I'm alive and feeling better. Not well, but better. I'm going back to bed until I really have to get up for work. As soon as I can, I'll fill you in on my adventures in babysitting Mrs. S. Thanks for th…

  • All right, so it's 6:45 a.m. on a Saturday, and not just is it Saturday, it's Saturday and I'm sick. And I'm out of bed. We have to leave for the kids' basketball tournament thing in about an hour. I got up a few minutes…

  • Yeah, I think I'm sick. I skipped tennis. Didn't even give a thought to going. Too bad I have such a busy weekend planned (kids basketball tournament, etc). I can't call in sick tomorrow, either. There's something reall…

  • All the News That Fits Bad News: I have a cold, I'm pretty sure. I'm going to skip tennis tonight (I didn't skip the other night), becuase I'm prone to bronchitis and pneumonia and I don't want to do anything that might…
