The Monkey Exhibit

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 [...]

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 [...]

I’ve been hired at EMMC Pre-Registration! They have been sweating over my availbility for training. They usually train 8-4, but I have class (that’s why I applied for a 4-8 PM position…) Now that they have it figured out, I’m in!
If you are scheduled for an appointment at EMMC, expect a call. [...]

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 [...]

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 mourn,
From whence my presence
So quickly was torn.
How can so few feet
Be the cause [...]

I thought I posted this before I left work yesterday. Sorry, mom!
The job offer at Peds was taken back. The person whose spot I was supposed to take decided she wanted to keep her position.
Now all my hope are back on my First Interview.

Now lie your head down on my shoulder
Find that needed rest
Tell me of your troubles
Get them off your chest
Rest your hands in mine, together
We’ll pass away some time
I’ll speak of Ifs and Whethers
A haven you will find
My love will drown all sorrows away
Leaving you content
With this place and with me
And the time alone we’ve spent
Know [...]

Come with me to the place
Where we can both lie
We’ll find our solace
Safe from outside
Where no one can harm us
Where we can both be
Together alone
In sublime company
Come with me to the place
Where I’ll hold you safe
We’ll have this moment
Together embraced
Where nothing else matters
Where no one exists
Just you and I
And a comforting kiss
Come with me to [...]

When applying for a position at EMMC you need to take a typing test. This I did today at lunch.
My score was 78 words per minute.
How ’bout you?

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 [...]

This parody is dedicated to Josh Reilly and would be understood best by anyone who has heard Warren Barfield: Pictures of the Past. If you have not head the song, you may be able to get it or a sample at that link. It may also help to take a minute to [...]

The interview has been moved from last night to Wednesday night.

I just got a tenative job offer from the Pediatric office next door. They are looking to fill some afternoon/evening positions. The office manager needs to make sure it can be Part-time (benefits) as opposed to Pool (no benefits). I need to make sure they can give me the hours I need/want. [...]

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 [...]

Action!

Defeat at AYOR seems to have utterly disheartened Tyrant Geof. The ferocity of the Poster’s taunting took him completely [...]

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 [...]

by Monty Python / Roger
In the early years of the 21st century, to combat the rising tide of religious unorthodoxy, the Pope Derek Webb gave Cardinal Red Sox of WV (aka Deion) leave to move without let or hindrance throughout the land, in a reign of violence, terror and torture that makes a smashing film. [...]

“I will enter His gates with thanksgiving in my heart
I will enter his courts with praise
I will say this is the day that the Lord has made
I will rejoice for he hath made me glad”
I wanted to take a moment to rejoice for this very reason. I see that He hath made me glad [...]

Geof! Geof, Tyrant of the Rumor Forum!

Oh, don’t grovel!

One thing I can’t stand, it’s people groveling.
GEOF:
Yes, sir
