Or Icepocalypse? That’s the view from my floor at work today. I’d rather be home enjoying this view: That is Starbuck under my desk reveling in the warmth from the kitty heating pad.

Today my office is closed because of weather. Yay, free vacation day! I don’t know the last time I had a snow day. Iowa never canceled classes because of the hospital (they couldn’t let the professors not work and still make the doctors/nurses) and my high school would just have us start two hours late [...]

My head hurts. Too much thinking. Let’s see if can empty any of it out here. Work is still all-consuming. I don’t mind it that much really because I’m learning new things and finally getting to do things I’ve wanted to do for years. It just sucks that I’ve got to cram what looks like [...]

I’m actually having a good productive day at work today. I credit the crazy delicious chocolate chip cookies that one chick brought in for her birthday for some of my good efforts. They were extra super chocolate chippy. I don’t know how the cookie was able to contain the sheer quantity of chips it had. [...]

As I sit at my desk and wait to hear back from someone about something kinda sorta important, I’ve managed to talk myself out of driving to Michigan tomorrow. Bonerama is playing in western Michigan tomorrow night and its only a five hour drive. But there is that stupid Eastern timezone thing to deal with, [...]

Today I discovered the Band Bio Generator which is kind of like a band mad-libs. Using only words and phrases I could see from my desk, I came up with this gem: A history of indie rock icons: Mass Email Hailing from an abandoned laundromat in New Orleans, Mass Email broke into the indie rock [...]

The parking situation at my place of employment usually isn’t a problem. Though, I do work slightly off schedule hours so I can avoid the normal coming and going times just because I have very little patience for sitting in traffic if I don’t have to. Since I come in before most people, I get [...]

What is it about the heating/cooling system in my office? Back in August it was freezing and today its so hot in here I can barely do anything. Seriously. I’m sweaty and flushed and it is just really uncomfortable. My corner of the building is apparently the warmest of all, naturally. I walked down to [...]

I know I have to just get over it, but today I’m in such a foul mood. Yesterday was the crying and weeping part of “dealing with it.” Today is the “please don’t talk to me, I’m too pissed to deal with you” part. I said sometime earlier this month that I wasn’t going to [...]

After working on Saturday, I came home craving pancakes. I busted out my box of Jiffy Mix and looked up the proper mix for pancakes. Whipped up a nice batter and got out the syrup. I don’t have a pancake griddle, but my roommate has a nice stainless steel skillet and I thought this would [...]
