The Year In Rob: Quotent Quotables
This is my favorite quotes from the past year. Guess the Special Post is a 2K6 baby now. Damn the semi-actually having a life!
HAPPY NEW YEAR, PEOPLE! See you in the 2K6!
me: How can I help you, (name deleted)?

2005: Revisited and the SWAG~!
Well, been a while, eh? Sorry about that, Christmas turned out to be a pretty busy affair. We still have three posts to go in the year end frenzy, but 2 of them are pretty much done and in the hopper, so we’ll roll with those and finish out the year […]

2005: Year In Rob
2005 was one of those years that defies all logic. I mean, if you have major, harrowing surgery, lose the home you lived in for over 16 years, and such, how do you classify that as a good year?
Making The Leap: The Leap(tm) is a serious stride or step forward in your […]

E-Presents
And, since it’s close to Xmas, the Year End Chaos will start with….E-PRESENTS! Every year, the ever popular electronic present, not subject to little things like reality and finances, becomes more awesome. Let’s roll:

Killing Time
Well, as my ride’s now late again, guess I’ll blog a bit to pass the time.

YAAAY Job
The Sprint Job: I got it, but….
Because of *their* issue with verifying my current employment, my background cleared late. Their training class had filled.
So, I’m #1 on the standby list. I get to go there Monday at 7 - if there are any no shows, I get their job and spot in the training […]

In Memoridiam
As I said in the last post…it’s been a depressing time lately. And part of that is locally. We had a funeral today….the last time we had one of these was in 1994.
We had not lost a Fort Worth police officer in the line of duty since 1994.
We had not lost a Dallas […]
