They picked him up when he went to court for the other case… that’s why he’s so much cleaner, this time.

6626 – fiddling

I really enjoyed the story meme ,both in my own journal, and in the journals I saw it in. I couldn’t resist playing every single time I tripped over it!

Note to self –

These sorts of tables are pretty clever “post-it note” device.

Remember to thank ldy later.

2nd Note to self –

This, however, more accurately
depicts my sort of postie preference.

Tables can still be fairly evil in LJ, though. Somebody let me know if it causes friend’s page havoc. (especially font color, it seems.)


This week is going to be a tricky one, but we’ll see how it goes. two major fund raisers, one so demanding that I’ll be the only one at the office.

6623 – out of the bad, comes some good.

I think it’s super cute when Newt sleeps on his back. I love to see his paws out like arms.


Well, CS is done. It’s too bad, but just as well… he wasn’t being utilized where he could do the most good, and was probably costing the company too much as a part timer. I think that I’d overheard he was getting $25 an hour… maybe a bit much for what he was assigned to do in the long run. The biggest peeves I had with him were that he seemed to blame everyone but himself for being helpless, when he set up overly arcane or downright broken systems of maintenance. He was frustrated with me when I couldn’t be bothered to fix his mismanagement of the tape backup system, and asked him to adjust it accordingly. (to send me one email as notification, rather than three an hour over the weekend.) He was more tech, and never thought to write for the laymen at the office… 90% of the folks there have only the most cursory usage ability, so telling them to “just unc onto the network and transfer it across the reserve drive” might make sense to me, it sure as heck would boggle everyone else int he building. between that and some fundamental socail issues, it was really only a matter of time.

Anyhow, he’s gone now… I’m sure he’ll find another place to land, but unless it’s in a lab somewhere, away from most civilians, he will always have trouble in his field. He’d mentioned something about going back to school in August.. I hope that he finds something that’s more to his liking, and profitable.

In good news, CB is now part of the team. Having a graphic designer is something that’s been long overdue. I look forward to turning over all publishing and print markup over… and never seeing it again, if it can be helped. It already looks like this one will play better with others than some of our other recent additions, so I’ll keep my fingers crossed.

6622 – well, another one gone… another one bites the dust.

At this morning’s heads of staff meeting, it was revealed that CS is being totally removed, as a result of some of the email he sent out from our location. At first, I thought it’d just mean that he was being removed from going on call, but the big kahuna wants him nowhere near the building anymore.

I can only imagine the contents of the email that he sent out… my best guess is that it was either whining about the company itself, or his goofy left-wing mailings about george bush and ralph nader.

but, long story short, CS is out of here, as soon as I collect the cell-phone from him.

Can’t say as he’ll be missed too much, but he had his good points. He’s not in any hardship, at least. living with his girlfriend, and has a lot of side jobs. It really was a long time coming.

6619 – Pondering the RHL & kids.

Thinking about Hala, Mee-Boo, Blackie and that whole crew today. Good thoughts and feelings seep out of my heart like thick, heavy smoke, and my apartment is filled with the stuff. It flows out the windows and doors, rolling like low-hanging clouds to those I care about… hopefully enveloping them and bringing some joy on a late Sunday morning. It’s solid…could last for a long time. I wonder if they’ll get Cicadas?


Some games: Q*beart & Donkeys Hate you (punk’d pinata)

6616 – Out and about

Got a letter from bro in the pokey today.. he seems to prefer to write rather than call lately. [update] It seems that my land line had been unplugged from the wall since Monday (the day I rearranged my writing so that lappie would be available to do dial-up… Either I forgot to plug it back, or it was put back loose enough to allow it to fall out. No wonder bro sent me a letter. Shows how much I use the phone.


I like the new breakdown of friends on the user info page.


Hmm.. Hell froze over. (via waxy)


While at Eckerd’s this morning (picking up a drink during my AM walkabout) I noticed a new flavor sensation… “Pina Colada” Almond Joy. White chocolate, pineapple flavored coconut. I picked one up, but hadn’t mustered the strength to open it and consume the beast immediately. (Thought I quaffed the diet mandarin orange tea quick as can be.)

As I sauntered along with that certain savior faire only a sasquatch on a warm south Florida morning can muster, I discovered that an event was taking place at the library… Peter Pan & all manner of Piratey things to promote reading. (As we all know how literate Buccaneers are, throughout history, I suppose…) Included in the lineup were the Wiggles & Cap’n Feathersword… or so I thought. On inspection, it turns out that they were some kind of insane parallel-universe alter-Wiggles. They were wearing colored shirts and singing hot potato… that seemed to be all that the little folks wanted. As I approached the edge of the park (no… I wasn’t caught, rapt in a web of pre-k television-impersonator majesty) who should I behold, but my hippie pals, with babies in tow.

Mayah has gotten so big (and ol’ Dave got a haircut) Wanna see? I love the look on Mayah’s face.

6614 Some mornings, I can feel my eyes dilate.

It’s one of those times. I can feel where light is hitting my body, sort of pick up on the varying thickness of the air’s textures.

I want to go for a swim… well, not a true swim. An extended soak in a natural pond is more like it. Someplace peaceful, with smooth, round stones and not a lot of overbearing sound.

Without horseflies. With Limeade, s’mores and Pita Sammiches.

So, Dear journal… it’s Friday, at last. I’m looking forward to taking it easy tomorrow… this week has been heavy duty, and I suspect that today may be a bit stressful before this afternoon. I think there’ll be more time to breathe after the fund-raising events next week.


Final night for the CoH beta was a lot of fun… all the heroes on the server fending off an alien invasion… quite a way to end the run! (I still like fighting Nazis the most.) It was amazing to see literally hundreds of supers mobbing the streets in a massive free-for-all. Got to play a bit with Rogana and Willow Whisp, but sadly, Sambot and Tiny weren’t around.

I’m still astounded by the design and graphics that have gone into the system…truly amazing stuff to be controlling real time, with thousands of people playing.

The CoH Timeline –

Thursday, 4/22, 11:59pm (CDT) – Beta officially ends. Servers go down and are character wiped. Blackout period begins.

Sunday, 4/25, 12 noon (CDT) – Head Start begins. Pre-order accounts are the only accounts with access to the game servers.

Wednesday morning, 4/28, 12 midnight (CDT) – City of Heroes officially launches! Access to the game is only allowed to those with a retail version of the game. Pre-order people must have a final version of the product in order to continue playing past the Head Start. Again, all pre-order players have until end of day May 15th to buy the game and claim their reserved character names.


Worst Bruce Campbell movie I’ve ever seen – Tornado! (Basically Twister, without the nifty effects crew.) Bruce was uninspired and pretty dang flat. It was playing briefly in the background on the hallmark channel while I beat up invaders.


Be back soon. Don’t eat any wooden nickels, even if you’re a termite.Site Meter
