The whole problem with the bus driver may be resolved. Thursday, there was a supervisor riding in the front with the driver that lots of people complained about. Most people hate being under the microscope like that. I later learned that they were going to make the one of the bus stops near me an [...]

What will future generations think about the people we’ve elected? Here’s one example. Wednesday wasn’t that exciting. Well, four of us went to a bus stop a block north of the bus stop that got canceled. The bus driver took no notice of us at all, zooming right by, even though the bus has stopped [...]

When you want something semi-complex done, it’s a good idea to not ask for it fifteen minutes before everyone’s leaving for the day. Yes, several people did that at work on Tuesday. Trivia: No Trevor, no Kelli. John really enjoys telling bad jokes. His delivery and timing are pretty good, but I think it’s his [...]

Random image! Work on Monday was pretty unexciting. While I was waiting for the bus, everyone else was complaining about the bus stop that got eliminated. One of the other people asked the bus driver what had happened to the bus stop. This driver, who wasn’t the same driver who told us about the stop [...]

Moira sitting in my chair. Sometimes, she’ll wait until I get up, then occupy the chair and fall asleep. I think she does this on purpose. Just finished reading Children of Men by P.D. James. Wow. If this book had been written by someone non-famous, it would’ve sunk without a trace. Since it was written [...]

Ellen Feiss seems to have dropped off the radar. So have an irreverent JPEG that parodies her brief brush with Internet fame. Again, not a whole lot happened on Saturday. I finally finished reading Free Speech for Me, but Not for Thee. This book should be taught in every high school, be discussed in reading [...]

Caturday, and the cats are mangling movie quotes. Friday was relatively quiet. We figured out various ways to make some computer stuff faster. Then we all took the light rail many blocks north to eat in a restaurant that was too far to walk to with Alex. He had his older son (4, almost 5) [...]

Sometimes, things are like this. The guys from work scheduled lunch with former boss and an old co-worker on Thursday. Earlier this week, I’d scheduled dinner with some of the old co-workers from Group Infotech/Nth Degree/whatever they’re calling themselves now. So there was a lot of driving. A database box also barfed at 3am (right [...]

Wednesday’s big excitement was watching “Who Wants to Be A Millionaire” because Trevor was on it. We had almost all the regular crew from trivia night as well as people from Trevor’s workplace and some other people that Trevor knew. It was neat. The first few questions were pretty easy, but Trevor was nervous and [...]

HEAVY METAL!!!1! I don’t know what inspired the photographer to take this photo, but it pretty much rocks. The really exciting thing on Tuesday was trying to set up a get-together for all of us former Group Infotech employees who are in AZ. Consensus is 6pm Thursday at Cork in south Chandler. It should work [...]
