Gideon’s Dawning

Monday, August 30th, 2004

In hopes of something that may soon come to pass, I figured I’d start a book review. By Michael D. Warden, I find Gideon’s Dawn, while having great characters and unlimited potential, has a somewhat confusing dichotomy. On the one hand, Michael has created a great “world”, rich with history and political intrigue. On the [...]

A Job in Review

Friday, August 27th, 2004

I’ve finally learned the art of merging multiple posts from the same day together, instead of posting them all separately. This is good, since they all have to do with the same thing. This has taken all morning to type up. Now I have a back-log of work to do… Job in Review I would [...]

The ‘roids Are Working!

Thursday, August 26th, 2004

Ha Ha, severe lung disease losers, look out! I am no longer among your pathetic midst! I had an appointment with my pulmonologist today. It was just a routine, yearly checkup. Since everything has been OK in the last year (no bronchitis, even! Wow!), he decided to lower my dose of Advair (my long-acting inhaler) [...]

“Something Is Missing”

Wednesday, August 25th, 2004

Something is missing A void I can’t bear. Something is missing ‘Cause you are not there. I took you for granted With hardly a care. I took you for granted Something quite rare. I can but look back To times less forlorn. Joyous those days We alone did adorn. Hours before these, Ones I now [...]

Top 10: Silly Styles

Thursday, August 19th, 2004

Monkey News has long been known for its Top 10 Lists. Unfortunately, many were lost when I got rid of my old Hewlet Packard Word Processor. There was some funny stuff saved on those disks… In hopes of bringing back some of the glory that was the old Monkey News and since I’m most like [...]

Slacker Update

Monday, August 16th, 2004

Today I start training someone to take over my position. This means that I won’t be able to get on the computer as much as I normally do. I guess I needed to calm down after my posting frenzy last week, anyway. If you are desperately thirsty for my stuff (hahaha), there is plenty from [...]

OK, peps. Time to get excited. I have my first interview for a new job this coming Monday with EMMC Pre-Registration! It would be with the same business, just a different department. That would be great; I’d be able to keep my vacation time. I’d also get to work face to face with people I’ve [...]
