Yes, it's time for yet another round of "Office Shuffle." Today we learned that management has decided not to permanently fill the position held by my recently-canned friend.  Friday will be the temp's last day and, beginning Monday, there will be yet another "reassignment" of duties. How does ...

The sink in my bathroom has a cabinet underneath, as you might imagine.  The cabinet is wood, sort of a medium ash color, and the door and drawers have bright gold knobs.  In the main storage area, I keep what you'd expect: the toilet bowl cleaner, the cleansers, extra cans of shaving crea...

On Monday, I hit a milestone: 5 years of employment at my current job.  That's actually a record for me.  The longest job I'd had prior to this was four years, and (ironically) that was at a job I hated.  To commemorate the anniversary, our company's employees receive a big freakin' p...

I'm a bit surprised that I hadn't blogged about this, already.  Guess my entries are too few and far between.  About a month ago, I received a late notice in the mail from one of my creditors.  This surprised me, as I haven't been late on a payment in a long time.  So I looked in...

I can't freakin' believe it's November, already.  One of the supreme injustices in life is that time seems to go by much faster, the less of it you have left. So. Election Day is just a couple squares away on my calendar.  I've already voted.  (Let's hear it for "permanent absentee" s...

I read with mixed feelings articles about Connecticut's reversal of the ban on same-sex marriage... essentially the same sort of reversal that occurred earlier this year here in California.  I'm very happy to see it done, because as I've been saying for decades, there are no sensible arguments ...

...never to get a tetanus booster shot again. I'm not typically the sort who is hit with the side effects of medications.  I don't even pay attention to them, honestly, because I've never had a problem with them.  But I got a booster on Thursday (not for any reason other than that I haven'...

Swiped from masivemaple, who himself snagged it from shotzie831, so blame whichever you like. Has anyone ever seen you in your underwear? Yes, but with good therapy and judiciously applied psychotropics, they've mostly recovered.   How many people have you completely fallen for? Does ...

Last night, I received the distressing news that one of my closest friends is in the hospital with what the doctors believe are two small bleeding aneurysms in his brain.  They know they must be small, because otherwise he'd probably be comatose, but he's doing fine for now.  He drove hims...

I really don't know why I don't update this very often.  It's not like I don't have things to ramble on about in a semi-coherent fashion.  Maybe I'm just lazy.  Maybe it's because MindSay is blocked at the office.  Or maybe it's because I like to at least put forth some entertain...
