October 3, 2007While it provides with a few moments of boredom every now and then as I wait on pieces of information to get to me, work has been going quite well this week. I finished up one project, I’m well on my way to finishing up another, and a big piece of the puzzle for [...]

May 23, 2007If I keep up my current level of running, I should be back to “normal” in no time. I ran 3.5 miles on Saturday and Sunday, 4.5 miles on Tuesday, and another 4 miles today. I sure need it, too. I’ve been neglecting the level of exercise my food and libation desires [...]

March 7, 2007Dan and Kristine left, taking all the sun with them, unfortunately. They chose a perfect weekend to visit, as Portland had gorgeous weather all weekend long, culminating in 65-degree and sunny weather on Monday and Tuesday. We took full advantage of the weather on Monday and the three of us drove up to [...]

January 2, 2007This time of year I seem to write less and less, and in fact, going back and looking at my archives to remember what year I got a particular gift for Christmas is usually a waste of time since I don’t write until days or even weeks after the holidays, and I subsequently neglect to [...]

November 30, 2006I’m sitting here at work practically falling asleep. Granted, what I’m doing isn’t very attention-holding–watching a failed hard drive make a copy to the network–and I know it’s my own damn fault I’m so sleepy. Sometimes it’s because I haven’t slept well (which has been happening a lot lately anyway), but last night [...]
October 12, 2006I went for a run anyway. It felt good, just like I thought it would. It was the weirdest damn run, though. Sweat has this tendency to make things stick to you, whether it’s clothing or the bugs that you run into, and tonight I kept accumulating bugs on my shirt and [...]

September 12, 2006Pints to Pasta went beautifully. Better than I thought it would.
I bumped into a coworker here on Friday who works at our Seattle office and was in town for the weekend, and found out she was planning on running the race, too, and when I told her I had new socks and a new [...]
August 30, 2006July 31st was the last time I wrote? I’ve spent a month on the phone with Dell Customer Service bitching about an order I placed at work for a partner that hadn’t even shipped yet, and I realized tonight that after that immense amount of time in which the order was finally processed, I [...]

July 20, 2006So…I’m not really sure where to begin in the cavalcade that is my life. I’d like to say that my long absence has been a result of being busy–which is true in part–but in reality, I just plain haven’t felt any real desire to pour my little heart out. I half considered quietly [...]
May 18, 2006I’m alive. I’m still here, still chugging along, but I just haven’t had an interest in writing as of late. I wish I could really say that I got too busy to write, or that I’d been having computer troubles, but honestly I just didn’t have anything to say.
Things are going fine here, [...]

March 19, 2006My jitters seem to have been entirely dependent on my perception of my knowledge at my new job, and as the week went on I realized that most of what I have to learn involves experience with particular pieces of software, and not a fundamental lack of knowledge. Sure, I may not know how [...]
March 14, 2006Today was a little better than yesterday. Partially because I knew what to expect, partially because I got more sleep. My Dad wrote me after I’d gone to bed and told me that my last entry was very depressing…and that was even before he’d gotten to my part about Erika. Well, I [...]
March 13, 2006Today was the first day of my new job, and I don’t think that there was anything I could do to really prepare myself for it. It’s not that it was something I’m necessarily unqualified for–the coming weeks and months will determine that–but the first day is always the hardest. There was so [...]

March 9, 2006It seems like since November, I’ve been fighting a losing battle with my computer. Every time I patch something up, something else breaks or I have a problem with what I just laid a bandage over again. I sent my motherboard back twice and was out of commission for close to three months [...]
March 9, 2006Yesterday I took the day off “sick.” I felt bad about taking a day off in my last week on the job, but I figured between going to my job and spending the last full day with my girlfriend before she leaves for six months, I’ll take the day off any time. We [...]
