Puppy by Demand

liz — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 02:29:06 +0000

A colleague of S’s enjoyed the last video I posted of the gal pal and requested that I share more videos of her. Who am I not to comply? This was taken in February 0f ‘08, the day after we had a huge snowstorm. You can see the pup loved bouncing around in it until she [...] Related posts:

Wi-Fi Thief

This was in my Google Reader under the suggested items I might like feed. It’s probably the best tech call ever made. The caller, a woman in California calls in to Leo Laporte’s show The Tech Guy! She mentions that for the last year and a half she’s logged onto a wireless network in her [...] No related posts.

Dinners and Dogs

I’ve written about work more than I’ve meant to lately. How’s about some tales of fun nights spent with friends? After two cancellations on our part, S and I were finally able to get together for dinner with our friends Christine and T. Both S and I had felt pretty bad that our stomach issues had [...] Related posts:

Office Revamp, Redux

liz — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 02:30:36 +0000

I typed too soon. Yesterday, I was pretty confident that the new changes happening at work would not involve a new person coming to my little section of the department. Today, Larry burst my bubble. He told me that, while still confidential, he would share with me that one of the event gals will be [...] Related posts:

Office Revamp

It’s been a busy couple of days, especially at work. This past week, there were a lot of meetings, mostly be the senior folks in my department. This was also the week we had someone come in to talk to us about using social media. First, the meetings. Early in the week, my boss, his peers, [...] Related posts:

SVU Suckage

liz — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 03:38:06 +0000

There’s been a bunch of talk online lately regarding tonight’s episode of Law & Order SVU. Kathy Griffin was guest starring as a militant lesbian activist. What caused the talk was the fact that Griffin and leading lady Mariska Hargitay were going to be sharing a kiss. This kiss. Then, last week Kathy Griffin tweeted this: We [...] Related posts:

Political Breakfast

liz — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 02:53:32 +0000

Today I had a reminder of what it is I dislike about working in a corporate office: the bullshit politics. Last year, the company I work for introduced this “breakfast with the executives” initiative. Employee surveys showed that people felt that there was a disconnect about what the company’s goals and objectives were. These breakfasts [...] Related posts:

Golden!

“It may just be a game, but it’s OUR game.” The entire country is celebrating right now, with impromptu block parties springing up everywhere as people pour out of bars and homes to celebrate. I was on the edge of my seat for most of the game, especially the third period. I was so sure heading into [...] Related posts:

Take it like a Champ

liz — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 02:51:01 +0000

I won’t go into detail about how crappy I felt yesterday. I’ll start with this morning; I woke up feeling much better. I wasn’t 100%, but I was close. S had made brunch plans with her former colleague Cynthia for this morning. I was going to go to, but I thought it best that I stay [...] Related posts:

Let’s Play a Game

liz — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 01:16:25 +0000

The nature of the game is essentially to fill in the next value in the series: Monday: Liz’s mom gets sick with a stomach bug Tuesday: Liz’s nephew gets sick with a stomach bug Wednesday: Liz’s dad gets sick with a stomach bug. Also on Wednesday, Liz visits her parents’. Thursday: Liz’s brother gets sick with a stomach bug. Friday: [...] No related posts.
