The school year is coming to an end. The only reason I know this is because a coworker has two daughters, one of which is graduating from high school. I think I may also be suffering from some sort of subconscious nostalgia. It was around this time ten years ago that I [...]

Since I’ll soon be commuting to Marble Falls for work everyday, I’ve been riding the bicycle to the Austin office while I still can. I won’t have that luxury for much longer. I tried plugging the iPod into my computer this morning. iTunes didn’t recognize it. I’ve been listening to the [...]

I had to fire someone last Thursday. I had been thinking about doing it for a few weeks. This person was only going to be working with us until the end of July. After learning that we were going to consolidate offices in Marble Falls, he decided to put in his two [...]

We finally went to the grocery store yesterday evening. This after having gone a week with no food. I think it was Wednesday evening when I ate the last package of Ramen noodles. Once we run out of food, we end up eating out. We like dining out as a treat, [...]

This past weekend was a relaxing one. Elise and I weren’t able to visit my parents the weekend before last for Mother’s Day, so we both left work early this past Friday and went for a visit. We made it in time to have fried catfish at Cross Roads. This is something [...]

Sometimes I think life is just out to get me. Early last week I had a weird dream about work. The next day my boss ‘moved on’. Two days after that, I bought a truck so I could keep dry when it rains and haul various things (i.e. building a deck). [...]

A lot has happened this week. It all started with a shocking dose of clairvoyance. I think my dream about work had an underlying meaning. There was a “change in management” late Tuesday which has left me with more responsibilities and an undying knot in my stomach.
I came home late that evening [...]

Elise worked somewhere around 734 hours over this past weekend while yours truly made sure nobody came into our house and stole the TV. I came home from work on Friday evening, mowed two strips in the front lawn and noticed that the yard didn’t need mowing. I flopped down on the couch [...]

I had some weird dreams last night. In the first dream I was sitting in my office at work, in the dark. The next thing I know, a SWAT team is inside the office. There are probably ten men with M-16 rifles, all wearing black and wearing night vision goggles. I’m [...]

It’s been a long week for yours truly and his battle with technology. Since building a new computer, I’ve been gradually installing software as I need it. Earlier this week I wanted to download some photos from our digital camera. To make these images web-ready, I used to use a combination of [...]
