I am but an inch away from a new, high-paying job with a challenging responsibility. Yes, Monday is the day to speak of! I’ll be interviewing with SBI Technologies for a Senior Functional Analyst position. The salary is nearly one third larger than what I bring home now, and the job itself is similar to [...]

I am growing more annoyed by the increasing quantity of the ever-present wrist bands and car magnets. There was a time when wearing the yellow wrist band to show your support of Lance Armstrong’s Live Strong campaign and slapping a vinyl, magnetic ribbon on the car to show your support for our troops overseas was [...]

Usually, while I’m very conscious of Independence Day, I don’t do much to show it. I don’t decorate the house with red, white, and blue things, I don’t host a barbecue at the lake, and I don’t go shoot fireworks. Hell, most years I don’t even go out to watch fireworks. But this was Jacyra’s [...]

What now seems like just a dream to Jacyra and I, along with a few other residents of the apartment building we share, was very real. Jacyra and I were beginning to drift off to sleep when we heard the horrifying shriek emanating from outside. It wasn’t a playful scream as we’d usually expect — [...]

I received an interesting, if almost nonsensical email message, claiming to be from SPAMIS, or the Strategic Partnership Against Microsoft Illegal Spam (there is a website at spamis.cc, but it seems to be defunct at this time). The contents of the email consisted of various quotes from Mike Lyman, who the email describes as the [...]

So it’s been roughly two weeks since I said Jacyra and I would be going to the gym every day. So far, so good — we’ve stuck to it for the most part. We didn’t go this past Monday since it was a holiday and considered part of our weekend. But other than that, we’ve [...]

While Jacyra has been on her diet to try to slim down, I have done the polite thing and refrained from eating junk as well. It’s just not nice to have those things in the house and eat them in front of her, so I eat more or less the same things she does with [...]

Shortly after seeing the 1,000th television commercial for Cox Communications’ new Digital Telephone service, I became interested. I already have a wireless plan from Sprint which, even after taking off all of the extra stuff (i.e. Internet capabilities), Jacyra and I still shell out about $100 per month for our plan. Well, to cut a [...]
