Crouton du jour no. 21 redux
Because I actually like this version of Toastie… (circa August 2008) [Read More]
Reading the fine print (part 2)
The person in HR who could switch my insurance over is not in today and won’t be in until January 4. A particularly unhelpful person in HR left a message for the helpful-but-unavailable person, who had been pretty clear that I could switch insurance, but only before [Read More]

My filter of the world
I’ve got nothing, as far as anything to write about. I’m in a bit of blank mood. I’m filled with…resignation. I’ve got a birthday in a few days, and I’d rather not think about it. It feels like it’s been a waste of a year. But this [Read More]
