Continuing a great week…
Tiger (Ryan’s cat) got out last night. I chased him down. He shredded my left hand (biting, scratching, you name it) while I was carrying him back.
My hand is hurt pretty badly. I can’t type very much.
So it might be a few days before I’m on the net much. Typing […]

Well, greetings from the land of S (together with N), where we’re just listening in on advanced calls…in business advanced support….where the call volume is dead. Dead. Deader than …nah, even *I* don’t have the heart to make that joke.
Anniversaries! Have a handful. Happy 3 years of blogging to K, and a happy 5th anniversary […]

Yesterday was the definition of ugh. Names have been removed from all situations to protect my sanity.
I think I knew it was going to be trouble when, at a blistering 9:01 AM, I got yelled at for reading my book. Now mind you, I’d finished my test, (first one to finish. w00t). There wasn’t […]

It’s no Cristal moment…but Rosser and I together are a flavour you can’t resist, baby.
(Ok, you can, but enjoy our insanity!)

Butch: It’s the love baby of UPN & WB
Rob: oh. Hopefully Direct TV will have it.

Man?
Butch: […]

Tres Anos De GTR
Check out the Cars review below if you haven’t already. LIGHTING MCQUEEN MUST BE FOUND! NAAAWH!
Today carries some significance to it. In case you’re not Spanish and didn’t figure it out, today marks the third year anniversary of this blog. That’s right, on June 18, 2003, this little piece of Internet real […]

Arnold Hummer: “Lighting McQueen MUST BE FOUND! NAAWH!”
In case you hadn’t figured it out, I went to see Cars today. Mild spoilers are afoot.
In the words of the great philospher JR: holy cow, are you kidding me King?
I don’t like auto racing. (Let’s watch some traffic!) I don’t particularly like cars. So when I say […]

Thanks to all who expressed their congrats. ATS training is (thus far) boring as hell since it’s 95% stuff I know, but we’ll get to the fun stuff soon.
In Memoridiam: Perry Bass. Great, great philanthropist who’s donations built Fort Worth’s awesome Bass Performance Hall (among many, many other things - hospitals, churches, schools, all […]

Yesterday is banished from lexicon. It doesn’t exist.
Today, however….
*dances* say hello to the newest member of Sprint ADVANCED technical support.
Promotions rule. Right Cookie Monster?

Of course, this means I have to be up tomorrow for training at 6am.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!
*hides*

FANTASY FOOTBALL. You know you love it. Yahoo is (already?) accepting signups.

CAN YOU UNSEAT THE TWO TIME
TWO TIME
TWO TIME
TWO TIME
DEFENDING FANTASY […]

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MAVS WIN MAVS WIN MAVS WIN
And that, my friends, is how the West was won.
First time ever….EVER. The Mavericks will play for their first championship in the NBA Finals. And how sweet was it that we beat Michael Finley (Spurs) and Steve Nash (Phoenix) on the way to? It’s the Vengeance Tour of […]
