Month: June 2006

I’ve adopted a new policy which seems to be serving me well. I’m writing my blog entries by hand. It’s amazing how little of that stuff I’m actually willing to then turn around and transcribe into the computer. Because it’s crap. I wrote a lengthy dissertation this morning about how I was probably going to […]

I came across something interesting today. I got my mail and found out that on one of my mailing lists, someone strongly objected to the list moderator encouraging people to go see An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore’s movie about global warming. He dismissed the movie as “political propaganda.” It struck me that this sounded like […]

I’m putting my things together, getting ready to leave for another week at the wheel. I’m headed over to Franklin, Tennessee, and am a little annoyed that I didn’t get a full weekend (again). But I won’t complain come payday, will I? Today is the day my wife flies to Las Vegas to be with […]

I’m so bored. I had the cable turned off so that I could have a better chance at scraping together the house payment every month. Some asshole installed Boss EveryWare on my computer and screwed up my Windows XP installation, so now I can’t play Everquest II (and can barely get my computer to run […]

It’s the day of the third annual Lovelace reunion. Gods, I dread it. Not so much because I don’t want to see relatives, but because I just never seem to have any time at home. I worked last weekend, and they’re pushing me out tomorrow, as well. So today is my day off, and I’ll […]

I just tried to make another payment with Countrywide and was told that they could not accept a payment at this time. I was forward over to the account technician and left a message for her to call me back. I can only assume this is Countrywide’s next move falling into place, and that they’ll […]

A note to Mara, i.e. “Note to Kevin” I don’t want to get back together. And I didn’t intend to hurt you with the poem that I sent [Without Firing A Shot]. But I once promised I would never lie to you. Walking around with a big, fake, plastic smile on my face feels very […]

Okay, just when I thought people couldn’t get any dumber, someone proves they can. I just got passed by a guy who was driving and typing on his laptop computer at the same time. I guess that’s no more idiotic than people I’ve seen with a book lain open on their steering wheel. But geez.

Had a funny today. I was in the receiving office at a customer. I made some off-hand remark about needing a good massage from a half-naked Vietnamese babe (this was in a room full of truck drivers). One guy said “I couldn’t do that. I’m a Christian.” So I said, “Oh, really? What denomination?” He […]
