About 2 years ago a gorgeous little ferret named Nikko came into my life, and although she was far from the first, she was still special. She was fluffy and happy and had the most amazing eyes I have ever seen, but then they say the eyes [...]

You know how my life has been just peachy? Everything has been going well over the last month and a half?
I get a call this morning from the company I do my Contracting through. The guy says “I need you to come in here before you go to work”.
There’s that ulcer again.
“uh, sure.. I’ll be [...]

Well, at the end of Friday, there will be 1 lone person from the original 18 people that started here. The other 3 people will be sent home without any source of future income. (aside from one guy, who was leaving this Friday anyway, because he found a new job.)
So, here’s how I learn about [...]

… And then there were 4.
We’re down to 4 members of our original crew. This means I now have a 25% chance of getting the phone-call of doom. (DOOM! doom. DOOM?! doom!)
I have lunch with one of the Tek Systems (the contracting company I work through) people today (chinese! yum!). Maybe I can extract some [...]

IRC Meetings are the bane of my existence.
I’m a clown on IRC. When trying to conduct business, it’s difficult, as I’m always making jokes, or wise-ass remarks or something. And it makes it extra difficult if I’m the one leading the meeting.
UnitedAdmins‘ WebDev area had a meeting a short time ago, and [...]

As some of you know (if any of you still read this) I started this job about a month ago. I was hired on for a 3 month contract, along with 18 other people.
We went through a weeks worth of training, and were tossed into our positions. We sat for hours at a [...]

As some of you know, I work at a helpdesk. I had a guy call me up today, cussing me out (in a Lutheran organization never-the-less!) because we sent him instructions to access a website, and when he types in the website, he doesn’t get the site requested, instead it brings him to an [...]

I have a secret life. In that life, it is still the early 1990’s, and the internet is just a gleam in Al Gore’s eye. I send mail to other countries by bouncing it over many systems. I pack, and transfer mail from other systems for other systems. I’m a Network Coordinator for FidoNet’s [...]

I’m bored, I’m at work, and I’m looking for more info on the two gentlemen who are going to try to win my vote in November to become the Most Powerful Man in the World. Yes, I’m getting into the US Presidential Election.
Now, many people consider George Bush at best, a bumbling idiot. He’s made [...]

Slashdot today, points to a story about future weapons of war on Popular Science. I find it interesting that they’re trying to replace a million dollar missle, with a 40 pound piece of metal that will do the same amount of damage (Hey, fired at Mach 7, my little toe could take out Osama [...]
