“Waiting”

Wednesday, March 30th, 2005

Here is, chronologically, my fifth poem. If poetry is not your thing, please note I have commentary following.
Waiting
By myself through the days and the nights
All alone when I look to the sky
My friends all out late with their dates
Love and life seem to just pass me by
Like puppies they are towed on a leash
Giving [...]

It Is Official!

Tuesday, March 29th, 2005

On March 9th I applied for a supervisor job within registration (where I work now) from the library. By the time I arrived at work that night, there was an email from the registration manager asking me how soon I could come for an interview. Since there were other people involved, the interview [...]

How Coins Gain Value

Monday, March 28th, 2005

I am the not-so-proud owner of a single US penny worth over $60. How do relatively new coins gain so much worth, you might ask? The answer is somewhat simple and slightly embarrassing to be sure. This penny lodged itself in the bottom of our dishwasher.
So they penny is washed [...]

Scene 12: Clues From Wayne

Friday, March 25th, 2005

(Adapted from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Names and actions courtesy of event that occur at the Rumor Forum.)
WAYNE:
Heh, haw ha ha haw haw! Haw haw haw ha ha ha…
GEOF:
And this enchantress of whom you speak (nice use of ‘whom’, eh?), she has seen the Hymnal?
WAYNE:
…Ha ha ha ha! [...]

Narrative Interlude 2: Meanwhile, Tyrant Geof and Sir Holland

Thursday, March 24th, 2005

(Adapted from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Names and actions courtesy of event that occur at the Rumor Forum.)
ACOUSTIC JOE:
Sir Trey had saved Sir Underscore from almost certain temptation, but they were still no nearer the Hymnal. Meanwhile, Tyrant Geof and Sir Holland (who, you’ll remember, Sir Trey thinks bigger than [...]

And We’re Back!

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2005

I just came through the hardest part of my last semester here at school. If nothing else, it taught me how much of a slacker I really am. I had a paper due Monday which I barely did any research for (just the minimum amount I thought I had to do) and barely [...]

See Ya Wednesday!

Monday, March 21st, 2005

Tomorrow I have to present a 20 minute speech on my senior paper. Naturally, I just started getting some Powerpoint slides together on Saturday (while I was supposed to be finishing my Animal Disease paper). I’m going to be extremely busy until tomorrow at 3 PM EST.
Have fun without me!

What Brings Them In–Feb ‘05

Thursday, March 17th, 2005

I like looking through the list of search phrases which bring people to my site. I think I’ll start a monthly post about the funnier ones. Read and weep (from laughter):
folkysaint (bringing people to me!?)
the monkey shel silverstein (who knew?)
she broke my heart so i broke her jaw (I don’t remember this post…)
great [...]

Protect Your Children!

Wednesday, March 16th, 2005

It has come to our attention that there are certain questionable practices going on in the shoe department. It should come as no surprise to anyone that the clothing industry has long been taking advantage of the poor to line their pockets with cold, hard cash. What has recently been found, though, is [...]

Extracurricular Week

Tuesday, March 15th, 2005

Monday: I had an interview for a full-time supervisor job after I finish school.
Tuesday: My car had a recall, so I took it to the dealer. After work I’m meeting the Doughty’s et al. for dessert at Applebees.
Wednesday: 1.5 to 2 hour meeting before my regular work shift.
Thursday: My wife’s [...]

I Kinda LIKE Working…

Monday, March 14th, 2005

In one regard, that doesn’t shock me too much. I’m, pretty much, always happy at any job I do. However, this realization has come to surprise me a little. Here’s why:
You know those conversations you have with your significant other: What would you do if we had a few million dollars? [...]

Let’s Talk SPAM

Friday, March 11th, 2005

Under counsel of one Brian Shearer, I purchased a can of Spam last week. Brian suggested that it was worth trying at least once. Never having tried it, who was I to argue? It took me until this past Monday night to ask my wife to include the Spam into my supper. [...]

Here at the Library

Wednesday, March 9th, 2005

Snow today, lots of snow. I thought I’d come to the library to post a little something I had written, but it seems I can’t access the floppy drive at the library. Strange. Does anyone know if this is common practice at other libraries?
It is freezing…freezing cold out. As usual I [...]

God Makes the Bacon

Monday, March 7th, 2005

…only he asks you to hand it out.
God created the pig. Out of nothing, even. God raised the pig, gave it a home, fed the pig and kept the pig healthy.
God is the one who slaughtered the pig. He diced it up, made it into strips and fried [...]

I’m On To Their Nefarious Schemes

Friday, March 4th, 2005

It seems that, somehow, my voice has been heard. The second sink has been returned to the men’s room. Now I must dodge the caustic looks of disgruntled female employees who are none too pleased that my revealing post exposed their flagitious escapade.
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but glares will never [...]
