Day 30
Last one of these. It's sometimes nice when things come to an end. Not so nice? That my friends at the market across the street are probably calling it quits. I've made more than my fair shar...
Day 29
Thanksgiving came and went. I misunderstood my mom; I thought she was planning on doing dinner at her house Saturday, so we went to my wife's parents' place. Oops. Listening to the shock on T...
Day 28
I was kind of dreading this entry, and there the prompt is, staring at me..... I took yesterday off, too, kind of unplanned. I think I'd been all that I can be, so what was the point? I have t...
Day 27
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. People I care about are struggling. We're certainly not living as comfortably as we were last year. It's not a happy situation. One of the things I've thought about ...
Day 26
Writing early today because I'm not leaving for work until about an hour after I normally do. Chance to get today's writing out of the way, so I don't have to worry about it this afternoon. It'...
Day 25
Today was incredibly trying. Between ineffective communication, and omniscient sots whipping out the letters after their names, I'm spent. I do know what I'm doing, and I can prove it to you. ...
Day 24
It's Sunday. It's early. I fell asleep way early last night, and missed Drunk Uncle on SNL (who favorited my tweet wondering whether he'd be on; it is Thanksgiving, after all). My idea about h...
Day 23
Awake early on a Saturday again. It's supposed to get really cold this weekend, really for the first time this year. What to do today (aside from scouring classifieds)? Tempted to try and ma...
Day 22
Things progressed a bit more today. I'm still unhappy with the general direction, but I do hope people are seeing where my experience is valuable. At the same time, I'm woefully under-compensat...
Day 21
I'm still amazed by the lengths people will go to in order to do what they know is wrong. I really don't care about splitting hairs. I don't want to regret the work I'm doing. It's incredibly...
Day 21
Day 20 -- two-thirds of the way through. Yesterday's entry is slamming hard. People do understand that I do know what I'm supposed to be doing, even without tons of artificial fanfare. I do fi...
Day 18
Another fun day at work. I really hate digging up my past work to show people what the fuck they're supposed to be doing, but sometimes I have to. There's no other way. I also don't like study...
Day 17
Still working this, and that I haven't missed one sort of implies that I'll finish. How do I do that? What characteristics define you and make you unique? I think I am good at improvising -- f...
Day 16
I'm just as bad about keeping up with my bookmarks here as I am on OD. Apologies.It's Saturday. It's raining off and on. Thanksgiving is coming soon. I'm okay with this; I need a break. I w...
Day 15
And we're halfway through. And I was planning to snark there, but I guess there's no buzzword replacement for "through." Maybe there's some letters after my name that I can buy that'll teach ...
Day 14
Today was a somewhat interesting day. I won't say anything positive happened, but I did see more people revealing things they think they're hiding. I cease to be amazed at how much effort peopl...
Day 13
Lucky 13. The more things continue on, the more frustrated I get about being proved correct. I really didn't want to be, but... Not a ton of movement on what I've been hinting about the past f...
Day 12
Burning sick leave this afternoon to go see the doc. Why? Um, because better safe than sorry. "Are you having problems with xxxx, and yyyy?" "Yes." "Well, which one?" "Both. Depends on the h...
Day 11
Interesting conversation on Twitter this morning with a fellow MSer from the UK. She was wondering who else in her office would pause at 11. It's somewhat incredible to me how little people today...
Day 10
A third of the way through this. Am I really satisfied with what I've done so far? Why do I ask myself these sorts of questions? I do it, because I do care about getting something out of it, p...
Day 9
It's early on a Saturday morning. I woke up somewhat unexpectedly, hit the head, took my morning cocktail of pills, then tried to fall back asleep. Fail. The cool weather makes me sleep more s...
Day 8
Progressing along with whatever else it is I'm working on..... I'm exhausted, but excited by the prospects. Just like what I've managed to do with users.757.org. One of those, "Really? I'm no...
Day 7
I am incredibly busy, though I'd rather not talk about what I'm doing, aside from being rude to people I care about. I am a horrible person, husband, panda, Candy Crush player, etc.. Things are...
Day 6
Nothing much is doing for me lately. I didn't tweet yesterday's entry, or post it to G+ for obvious reasons. But if someone reads it, asks me about it, I'm not going to deny the emotion that we...
Day 5
Yes, I'm getting in a bit late this afternoon. No, I don't care to make excuses for it. Hit three out of four on the November birthdays, with number four still on the way. What more can I do, ...
