Cool and Collected
A woman I occasionally work with is leaving her position. She is out on the West Coast, so we have mostly interacted via IM. We have been on phone calls, and, as she reminded me, we once “met” over telepresence (which I will make a common noun). We were IMing [Read More]
Stuff circa January 12, 2011
Dating. Noting to add here. The topic enters my mind every day. I thwarts any potential enthusiasm. I could not even string together three words to a woman I might be interested in merely beginning a conversation with. I wonder if 35 was a strong magnet that accelerator my [Read More]
Potpourri for 800
Follow-up on my work rants Well, I missed two days of work due to various symptoms that can be summed up as having felt brain-dead. On Wednesday, I battled through a day at work despite feeling brain-dead. On Thursday, I was half-ready to deal with the fallout from the [Read More]
More work-related brain-dump

I appologize…
At work, we use a VAR (Value Added Reseller) for support. They’re terrible. Anyway, for the umpteenth time, they’ve prematurely set an issue to ‘resolved’ status. I said, “Yo, WTF is up with you resolving my stuff that you haven’t [Read More]
Thanks to mystery person at work for my Election Day mix
Someone at work shares their stuff on iTunes as ‘what are you looking at?’ I don’t know who this individual is, but I wish to thank him or her for helping me through this less-than-ideal workday with an eclectic mix of Beck, Billie Holiday, and Björk. [Read More]
Bach’s Cello Suite No. 1, Prelude
I’m blown away. This is one of those pieces of classical music I’ve heard a thousand times before but never knew what it was. Thanks to iTunes sharing at work, I can now match the music to the composer and the name of the piece. Thanks, BM. I don’t even [Read More]
