First thing this morning, Tanner came over to my desk asking for help. “I hear you’re a computer whiz and might be able to help me with this Excel stuff,” she said. Tanner explained to me what she wanted to do and I showed her that it could be accomplished with a few simple steps. [...] Related posts:

The cat and I are on the outs. Although, things have looked up tonight, they haven’t been so cheery the last week. Allow me to explain. A few weeks ago I took our little Sophie to the vet for her annual visit. Last year, all went well, she was at a good weight, her teeth [...] Related posts:

Have Camera, Will Travel

I haven’t even left for Ottawa yet, and already I’m annoyed with how things are shaping up. Or rather, I’m annoyed at how Larry’s acting. Technically, I’m not needed until the Tuesday but since the hotel room was already booked from Monday onwards, I decided to fly out on Monday to let myself get settled before [...] Related posts:

My job doesn’t require a lot of travel for me. In fact, it doesn’t require any travelling for me. That is, until now. In a few weeks I’ll be heading off to our nation’s capital to attend one of our conferences. The change in my job requirement is due to our experiment with Facebook. I’m [...] Related posts:

How big were the first coffee makers? I ask only because I think I may have used the first ever prototype known to humankind while S and I were at the cottage a few weeks ago. I’ve only ever known the current-day makers, the ones with the cup on the top, the water in a [...] Related posts:

The other event which occupied some of my focus yesterday was the result of an instant message chat that I had with Charlie. The conversation began with us talking about how Speakerphone Asshole and HRH were such jerks. It then continued thusly: Charlie: Something very personal I have known you such a long time and [...] Related posts:

There were a few events that happened at work today that have been on my mind a lot this evening. The later of the two has occupied most of my focus so I’ll write about that one tonight. A little back story: Our department has decided to do a test run of social networks. The [...] Related posts:

A Behemoth of a Good Time

The company I work for has a committee for everything. There’s a volunteer committee which organizes events in the community where employees can go spend a day volunteering. There’s the environmental responsibility committee which does things like organize information sessions about biking, recycling and planting trees. If you can think of a committee, my employer’s [...] Related posts:

Going away to the cottage is always relaxing. Spending the days on a dock by the lake, book in hand and a cooler full of beverages nearby make for a serene experience. No smog, no big city noise, no hustle and bustle all contribute to the feeling that yes, peace and quiet can be achieved. [...] Related posts:
