An Apple A Day

Monday, January 22nd, 2007

I make no effort to hide the fact that I love my Apple iBook G4. Great little laptop.
But that is not where the love affair ends. Apple (the company) itself is just plain competent and designed to make life easy, just like their products.
For tax purposes I need the invoice for my purchases [...]

Working For A Living

Have I ever told y’all how much I love my job?
Yeah, well, there is a reason for that.

Learn From My Mistakes, Lesson 2

Tuesday, December 12th, 2006

An ongoing series in which you don’t have to be stupid, because I’ve done it for you.
I work alot of nightshifts. Half of all my regularly scheduled shifts are nightshifts and all the overtime I work nowadays is nightshift.
I mentioned to my doctor once about how tired and sleepy I get when on the [...]

OT

Thursday, December 7th, 2006

So they recently began scaling back the available overtime at my job. Which was cool with me because I had 168 hours on my last paycheck. I get paid every two weeks, you do the math.
So this 7 day break was going to be the first full one I had taken in, umm, [...]

How To Make A Million Bucks

Tuesday, November 7th, 2006

I’ve hit upon the surefire way to make a million bucks. I’m gonna sell golf balls.
I got the idea from this quote (via billmon):
Dubois put an exclamation point on their sentiments when he said the group, after seeing McCaskill, planned to memorialize the president during their golf game that morning. “We’re going to call [...]

10 Days

Wednesday, September 20th, 2006

Man, have 10 days really gone by since my last post? Unbelievable. My life has become this haze of work, sleep, play with the kids for 10 minutes, talk to my wife for 5, work, sleep, work.
It sucks.
Marilyn has put her foot down as far as me working any more OT. I’m [...]

Trying To Face Forwards

Sunday, September 10th, 2006

Minutes ago I saw this headline on Yahoo News and then on Wired News:
S.C. hopes to lead hydrogen economy.
I am so thankful that South Carolina is determined to lead in a tech field. I would like to see South Carolina become determined to lead in every tech field. And lead in tech education, [...]

How To Tell You Are Working Too Much

Saturday, August 5th, 2006

If you are like me and have to wear a uniform to work, there is a quick way to tell if you are working too much overtime. When you gather up your clothes to do a load of laundry from the past week and realize that only one shirt was not a part of [...]

That Green Eyed Monster

Monday, February 6th, 2006

A buddy of mine from work quit last night so that he could go open up his own construction company.
I’m so jealous I could chew my own tongue off.
His name is Nick Tindall and he is a helluva hard worker. There were many times when he would work a night shift, go put up [...]

Ugh

Saturday, January 14th, 2006

I know I am sorely overdue for the old podcast, work has been kicking the old behind lately. I am going to do one Monday and I swear it will be the best one I’ve done all year.
