I also blog at:
A thirty something tomboy gets a present from the stork: ...."We've also discovered that she will bring whatever is in her hands to her mouth. ...Mostly there's nothing in arm's reach to swallow, except mom's hair, which has been falling out in droves (another neat pregnancy trick). Do babies get hairballs?"....

We're huge Tom's of Maine junkies. It started out, innocently enough, with their toothpaste. It's not as sweet and it comes in cool flavors, like anise and cinnamon and apricot, as well as normal ones like wintergreen and spearment.
A Plague of Home Depots
Tuesday, 14 March 2006 8:07 A GMT-05
There's a new complex of stores in Keene, newly built after feeble protests from people that Keene didn't need a Home Depot, a Price Chopper, a Target, or indeed yet another strip mall. There was also some nonsense about building on prime agric

Well. What does one rant about when the weight has been lifted and you've cut the anchor and drifted off on your own, ready to sail new waters? I don't know. I got a friendly email from my next boss (the VP of IT. The Vee

It's amazing how much crap you can passively accumulate over two and half years.
My current position (which has been posted!) didn't call for much archiving of documentation, but I still managed to accumulate folders of information that I'm sure I t

Apparently Blog-City has a neat new feature entitled: CFML Runtime Error. Instead of your normal, run-of-the-mill boring old blog with entries and pictures and stuff, you get a mass of colorful gobbledy gook halfway between nonsense and actual

Ah! The Wednesday of a beautifully short Thanksgiving week. Unless you're one of the suckers my place of employment has fooled into working on Friday (a holiday). But for the rest of us, four whole days off without worrying about getting up an

Massive Secret Government Psychological Experiment

Today at work we get to go to a thirty minute demonstration of something ominously called "Health Advocate." It's some website or something which I'm sure is designed on the outside to be a helpful resource to the loyal employees for all th

Okay. So which is it? Aside from which problem costs employees more in the long run (Job turnover and health related issues due to stress versus a mere two hours a day an employee does something other than strictly work): is the "frequent br

The imminent arrival of a Walmart in the town next over has the town's residents up in arms. This is per usual with the arrival of Walmarts, and ordinarily I'd agree with them. But the piece of land they are going to build on is a bunch of fill,

At my company, as with many companies, there are strict guidelines about your status versus how large the square footage you occupy, how tall the cubicle wall, and if you're really high up, whether or not your solid wall office includes a window or n
