month swap

Friday, February 28th, 2014

Yeah, February. Not a month with much to recommend it this time around, I’m sorry to say. On the plus side, Olympics! On the minus side, WEATHER. But as February draws to a close, I’d like to give a shoutout to change. For the last six months or so, I’ve been changing my email backgrounds […]

I miss this team. Forty Days, by thingswithwings “Yeah, I don’t know,” Rodney agreed, hitting something with a wrench and then jolting back as blue sparks came out of a different crystal. “It’s not like I want to coerce him into having sex with us or abandoning the cultural traditions of his now-dead home planet […]

This scene perfectly captures how I feel about job seeking: “Maybe this time! This time! This time! This time! This time!” -from ‘Bee Movie’ [*Apparently the next line in the movie is “Drapes!” according to the transcript I found online. I’m not sure how that fits, but I thought it was funny.]

movie review: Scrooged

Friday, February 21st, 2014

This was one of those movies that was in the Christmas queue back when it made sense to have a Christmas queue, but it got bumped due to time and netflix limitations. And… yeah, can’t really be too upset about that now that I’ve seen it. I will definitely be sticking with The Muppet Christmas […]

It’s Iron Bear! 1. It’s really hard to take a photo of the black bears without their eyes completely disappearing. 2. Thanks, *Andrea! 3. Yes, that’s some patriotic swag Iron Bear has going on there at the collar. Gotta support your teammates!

Nothing like a little sunrise snow clearing to really get that New England feel.

notes from the meeting of the staff

Tuesday, February 18th, 2014

That’s right, it was Staff Meeting Day! Very glad I did not volunteer to get the food; apparently it was quite a task. The big news: new!guy showed up for the last few minutes of the meeting (apparently that’s when he was invited for? idk what my boss is thinking ever) and had the chance […]

another two-for-one
