Is RIM Down?

I’ve not gotten any e-mails on my Blackberry Pearl since last night, and yet when I look online, I have messages. RIM has had some technology issues in the past few months, and it makes me wonder if they’re down again.

Saturday Update

My nephews are here for the weekend. Brutus is being an absolute gem, but Buddy is being a complete pain in the ass. It’s a good thing (for him) that I love the little snot, or he’d be a rug already. I think I need another or a bigger couch. I got my hair cut… Continue reading Saturday Update

Where’s the Beef?

Can you believe this was 24 years ago? The commercial aired in 1984. http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ug75diEyiA0

Stinky Office

It’s Friday and the weekend has arrived. Our office closed early today at 2:00, and then we took one of my coworkers out for his birthday. Good times were had for sure. On Monday, I walked into my office and something stunk. I really thought someone’s ass had exploded. It was that bad. (In fact,… Continue reading Stinky Office

Day at Home

I took today to work from home. The main reason is because my mattress was being delivered. Since I was going to be home anyway, it was a good day to have the furnace guy come look at why I had no heat yesterday. Additionally, it was a day out of the office to write… Continue reading Day at Home

Pre-Op

Not being from Boston, I didn’t realize that Beth Israel used to be a pretty bad hospital. My first experience with them was when I started seeing a primary care doctor at Fenway Community Health.  What I love about the BIDMC system is that all of my doctors have access to the same information. My… Continue reading Pre-Op
