Soul Searching

Wednesday, October 1st, 2003 · 6 Comments

Last night I had a strange dream that somehow connected to anxiety at work. This was unusual since in the year-and-a-half I’ve been at the company, I’d never before had a work-related dream. At other jobs, yes, but never at this one. Despite a 1pm department meeting, I stayed home from work today since the […]

Ouch

Saturday, September 27th, 2003 · Comments Off on Ouch

Last night I could barely breathe and laugh due to intense pain in my chest (relieved by 2 Advils downed with Guinness at The Chieftain prior to meeting up with Crissy, Sandy, and some friends of theirs for a yummy Buca di Beppo dinner). This morning I woke up with aching pain all over my […]

Rough Night

Wednesday, September 17th, 2003 · Comments Off on Rough Night

Jen and I have been feeling really tired and under the weather this week. The timing is especially bad since we fly to New York early Friday morning for cousin Jack and Kim’s wedding in Cooperstown. So not only are we tired, but we have to hope our traveling doesn’t coincide with Hurricane Isabel when […]

Emporio Armani Glasses

Friday, July 18th, 2003 · 1 Comment

These are my new eyeglasses. I picked them up yesterday. They are cool. I really like them. They make better use of lens space than do my old glasses. They’re not as vertically skinny as the old Brooks Brothers, which is good because my downward lens coverage is improved (for reading, etc.). And they’re not […]

Kinderhook Parade

Friday, July 4th, 2003 · 1 Comment

Greetings from Upstate New York! Jen and I are here in Kinderhook, NY, where we just returned from the Village 4th of July parade. It was great. The Bulldog drum brigade performed; the Kinderhook Militia marched in playing the flute, then read the Declaration of Independence, and fired their muskets; Martin van Buren on horseback […]

Back from Vegas

Monday, June 23rd, 2003 · Comments Off on Back from Vegas

We returned from an awesome weekend in Vegas last night (this morning) at about 3am. We got just 4 hours of sleep and went to work today. I feel so tired I’m nearly oblivious and like I was fighting off a cold today; I’m hoping a good night’s sleep will turn me right around. But […]

Crazy Days

Tuesday, June 10th, 2003 · Comments Off on Crazy Days

Things really heated up at work on the e-Learning front (in a good way) on Friday, so even though I’ve only been at work two full days since then, so much has happened that it seems like it’s been a week. Yesterday I was in meetings all day long, then headed straight home to pick […]

Credit Fraud

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2003 · Comments Off on Credit Fraud

Today was a seriously stressful day, as I discovered that some punk-ass opened a Sprint PCS cell phone account in my name in May 2002 and has run up more than $500 in unpaid charges. It went to collection and now appears on my TransUnion credit report. I have reported it to fraud, filed a […]

Rock-Paper-Scissors

Monday, June 2nd, 2003 · Comments Off on Rock-Paper-Scissors

I just added the following message to a strange discussion string that began with my Vassar Blogs site: As for rock-paper-scissors, back in the day my brother, a friend, and I played an improvisational version wherein you were allowed to bust out any item you wanted at the time of draw — for example, a […]

Back Spasms

Thursday, May 29th, 2003 · 8 Comments

First, the good news: Jen is home safely from New York! Woohoo! The dogs and I picked her up from Oakland Airport last night after 11pm. It’s great to have her back home. I missed her. Next, the bad news: My lower back has been having spasms since last night. They started shortly after I […]
