Comcast has the worst service! I heart EMT’s.

I’ve been trying to get Comcast to fix our cable and high speed internet for the last two years. They suck. They never do what they say they are going to do. They do not call you back. They do not follow-up. They do not credit you for poor service [...]

So There I was…

Just driving down the road, daydreaming, watching the clouds float by, thinking about Hurricane Katrina and Gustav, Palin, pregnant teenagers, right-to-lifer’s, hypocrisy, color printers and raw files, j-pegs, Adobe Acrobat, PDF files, the Sandia Mountains, Lulu, my steering wheel, NPR droning in the background…
…And I suddenly realized that just about everyone in the entire world [...]

Just once I’d like for things to go as planned…

I’m late! I’m late for a very important date!
I feel like this constantly and no matter how good I am at time management (truly my forte’), I just don’t feel like I can catch-up. January and February have been catastrophe months causing a feeling of two steps forward, three steps back.
For example:
Today is my day [...]

Knickknack, Paddy-Whack

I’ve only ever been arrested once in my life. I know; hard to believe, right? HA! I was 19-20 years old and belonged to a group named, “Abalone Alliance.” It was an anti-nuke group and we were protesting the building and opening of Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant in San Luis Obispo (technically in Avila [...]

Boo!

Oh… The Drama! Kitty-Saga blew into a full-on nosy-neighbor-clash. It turns out that this lil’ kitty was SUPPOSEDLY being taken care of by the crazy-lady’s neighbor and he wanted the cat given back. This guy is a real *winner* of a dude, no job, always scammin’, and when he talks to you (when the “you” [...]

I swear…

… and if that offends you, stop reading now… 
I’ve become a morning person by default. I’ve been working the opening shift which means I’m up at 3:45AM and out the door to work by 4:30AM. The other night I woke up at 2:30AM and couldn’t go back to sleep. I wrote, read, drank coffee, took a [...]

Tidbit Tuesday

I switched over the swamp coolers today. That’s plural because I did my mom’s and then did ours. Hers was a cinch but ours is proving a bit more problematic. First of all, I fell off the damned ladder. Not exactly fall-fall, more like slipped, slid, fell, scrambled, scraped, lunged, jumped… scraping myself along the [...]

With all due respect…

Two posts in one day; unusual, I know, but this really pissed me off. With all due respect to the victims, families of victims, and all people affected by the tragedy at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia; I have to ask:
Where’s the outrage in THIS situation? Where’s the media on THIS situation? What does the [...]
