A small contingent from my team at work spent about 4 hours today sticking barcodes on cases of gatoraid and chips, then loading them onto pallets at the Second Harvest Food Bank in Watsonville today.
I’m a whiny bitch, so I was very unhappy about getting up SO FREAKING EARLY for a work-related activity (I’ve [...]
I’ve got a job interview in a few hours, and I’m nervous as heck. My stomach is threatening not to cooperate, and I have been half awake for the last 3 or 4 hours.
I also had all kinds of crazy dreams. Like, sitting in a lounge waiting for my name to be [...]
I find this very odd. Two of my friends today asked me “How’s working for Comcast?” or something like that. (Granted, one was a postcard dated March 2… but I GOT it today).
I don’t work for Comcast… Never have. Probably never will. It’s just a very odd coincidence that a friend asked [...]
Yesterday evening, I finally launched the new design for my WoW guild’s website. If you feel like it, check it out: A Horde Dazed Knight. It’s not 100% finished though. (12/15/07 edit: I’m no longer webmaster. This site is Shadowfox’s creation.) Some things I still need to do:
create thumbnails for all the [...]
I’ve just been informed at the end of the day yesterday that I’m being laid off from my job.
I’m less upset now than I was yesterday. Went out and got pretty tipsy at a bar with my roomie and his friend, which was nice. I’m taking it all surprisingly well. I was recently contacted [...]

Wow.
I didn’t even hear about this before now, but today while reading some of my work-related rss feeds, I came face-to-face with the story of AOL’s big screw up last July… and the fact that now they’re being sued for $5k a person-whose-data-was-released…
wow.
Here’s a link to the complaint and here’s a story and another [...]
I’d been telling people I worked with in the Writing Center that in a business environment, emails should be short, easy to reply to, and direct.
I thought I knew what that meant… I’m a good writer, confident in my ability to be professional and clear… direct and concise… I asked a client a question [...]
All three of my supervisors at work have a great work relationship with each other and also all have offices within 2 feet of each others…literally. Yet today, they hilariously apparently decided to communicate largely via email and all three of them basically passed each other in the writing center on their way in [...]
I just went to my weekly writing center meeting… and was immediately pulled aside and dragged into Dennis’s office to talk about something “serious”. Wayne couldn’t stop smiling so I knew it wasn’t too bad, but I was still a little scared.
But… holy shit.
I’ve just been named the student representative for this year’s [...]
So, today I had two meetings, neither of which involved me contributing anything accept laughter at Geff for leaving us to pick up his tab the night before after our Budget-request thingie. I was slightly annoyed at the website meeting though, because the first half was basically my boss and co-worker talking about security [...]
