My first day at Miller is over. It was a pretty good day, and the people all strike me as such that they will be easy to work with. Actually I haven’t worked with anyone in any of the Architecture…
Not a bad day at work
I had a pretty good day at work today. I had to work a route that I have never worked before, and when I first heard this would be the case, I understood I would be working it alone, but…
To Quit or Not to Quit
I’m mulling over my new job situation. With a full time job starting on Monday the 10th, I don’t need to keep the job at the Post Office. I could quit and not only get Saturdays off, but get my…
120 Miles to Pee in a Cup
Today I drove 120 miles (round trip) so that I could pee in a cup. I am not a big fan of this aspect of American Life. We have a principle in this country that people are innocent until proven…
Fire that Jacka$*
Dear Jimmy Kimmel, Please fire your cousin Sal. He is not funny and has no talent. I am also not happy with his football picks. Every time (that I am aware of) that he picked the Vikings, win or lose,…
Just Another Day
Today has been a typical Saturday so far. I worked at the Post Office. It took about 8½ hours to get done, and was relatively uneventful. I did come across something that made me decide that my next cell phone…
A New Beginning?
I just got back from my second interview in Granite City. I got the job! I’ll be starting November 10th, about a week and a half away. I’m mildly excited about getting the job, and that will change to wild…
I hope my car is Satisfied
Those greedy weasels managed to leach $200 out of me to get my heat working, and what’s worse is all they did was flush the coolant system. Half that was to run a diagnostic and the other half was the…
A Rare Sight
I’m sure if there is anyone actually reading this (I know I have at least one reader who is not me), you’re probably skipping over the Tivo updates. That’s okay, I write as much for my own enjoyment as anything…
One Step Closer to a Job
I just got off the phone with one of the guys at Miller in Granite City, where I had my interview last week. They want to do another interview! That makes me very happy . I should be meeting with…
The Mobile Money Pit
I’m starting to see why people buy new vehicles every two or three years. I always thought it was a little excessive. Well, if you’re going to put a few hundred bucks a month into a vehicle, you might as…
The hits just keep coming
I just found out about another downer to the Tivo going out. My Mom got off the phone with a friend and told me that an email I sent to Bill O’Reilly was read on the air. Of course I…
The Terrible Tivoes
Ok, I’m happy now. I got the Tivo up and running. I was even able to continue the experiment that got me in trouble last night without more trouble. The experiment didn’t work out like I hoped. The most disappointing…
Oh What Fun
I had a little fun today with my beloved Tivo. Actually, the fun is still in progress. Last night I did a little experimenting that required a reboot (the Tivo is a computer after all). It would allow me to…
The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly
The Good My vehicle seems to be back in splendid operating condition. I put in a new Thermostat, and it seems to be heating the way it should now. I got new brake pads on, so the squeak went away.…
