Our new senior help desk tech started today. He seems like a nice guy, and he’s a big geek. That’s what we wanted, and he’s great. I got to introduce him around the office. Our helpdesk manager doesn’t like it when I refer to him as “the new Bob.” It’s just a reference. When I… Continue reading The New Jenn

Credit where credit is due
The deployment of our new software version went really well this morning. I really thought it was going to be ugly, but my coworker Tim busted his ass and got things working really well. I had to give him kudos. This morning, I sent out an e-mail to the whole company asking for sponsorship in… Continue reading Credit where credit is due
Sunday Night TV
I’m hooked on Food Network’s “The Next Food Network Star”, and I’m totally rooting for Nathan. I wouldn’t mind seeing Guy win, either. I like Reggie, but I don’t think he’ll win. Before that was NBC’s The West Wing. I’m pretty religious about watching that. Next week’s episode looks killer, if you’ll pardon the pun.… Continue reading Sunday Night TV
A380 Evacuation Test Stopped After Incident
This is not going to be an easy thing to accomplish. Imagine getting 800 people out of any big structure in 90 seconds. It’s darn near impossible. A380 Evacuation Test Stopped After Incident
Day Square
My new landlord was telling me that one of the nice things about taking the blue line from Wood Island is that you walk home through Day Square. Well, I went to the new ‘hood today to see if I could get myself not so lost this time, and it was much easier this time.… Continue reading Day Square

Kelly’s Landing
I went to a little spot in Boston today known as Kelly’s Landing to take some pictures of the incoming airplanes. It was cold, cloudy, and miserable. Most of the shots I took were crap. These were some of the better ones I took today, and they’re still crap. If there were any decent pictures… Continue reading Kelly’s Landing
Lines
Whomever said that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line has clearly never lived in Boston. These are the easy directions to my new place from my old place.
Slow Start
I woke up about 4:00 and couldn’t get back to sleep. I hate it when that happens. Finally, I fell back asleep and woke up about 9:00. I layed around in bed, played with Reggie a little, and then I got up to shower. When I got out of the shower, I realized something really… Continue reading Slow Start
HBD
My sister called me at work on Friday. As we were talking, I let out this “Oh, shit!” comment. It appears that I had forgotten my dad’s birthday. Just talking to my sister reminded me of it. So I called tonight and apologized, and he didn’t give it a second thought. My dad is very… Continue reading HBD
