It’s time to face the truth, people: Paris Hilton is not attractive. Sure, she’s blonde and definitely sports the concentration-camp chic when it comes to weight, but has anybody ever listened to her talk? Or looked above her scrawny neck? There is more to beauty than clear skin stretched too thin over your skull and […]
It’s time Cuba honoured their leader with a new capitol. I envision a city named Fidel, if only so that I can visit some day and let people know I’m in Fidel. Okay, that was much funnier in my head. Damn . . . Anyway, I am so glad that I am not a duck. […]
I feel sorry for the Sears repairman, I really do. He’s here about once every two months to clean out the filter on our dishwasher. I could do it myself if they’d just supply a manual that shows how to disassemble the thing. Or Sears could supply a dishwasher that doesn’t require that you wash […]
A whole week ahead of me with no travel or work! I got in yesterday afternoon at 3pm and haven’t really done much since. Tomorrow I start on Spring Madness, which in my case involves mowing and mulching and pruning and all sorts of other fun around-the-house and in-the dirt work. I’ve shut off my […]
Can you guess where I am now? The airport? Wow, you’re good. Stuck in SFO, lousy Portland weather delaying my flight. I want to go home. I want to take a nap. I want the customer service line at Alaska Airlines to open up so I can scream at them about my MVP status. Yes, […]
I don’t ever want to live here again, but there was definitely a certain excitement driving from the airport to my hotel. It was cool but comfortable. I think it’s the Pacific. I felt it as we landed, when I opened my eyes, looked out the window and saw we were skimming over the bay. […]
Two and a half weeks on-site, two days home and back on the road again. My days may be limited, but I will do my best and do as told. Tomorrow is a proserv event, today a travel day. I spent the morning proving a “bug” was just misconfiguration on the part of the customer. […]
Once again, I have several entries written down somewhere on yellow notepads, but no idea where I tossed the pads. Grrr . . . okay, time to move on. Yes, I am finally home, and willing to show the awesome power of the “Army of Bun.” Supreme commander: The troops: I’m so pretty . . […]
Finally . . . I’m in the home stretch, stuck in Seattle for the next two hours, but at least it isn’t New York! Eighteen days, but I am finally free. I had a final lunch with the guys in NY. If not my last, most likely my last as an employee of the Borg. […]
My last excursion was up to China Town, which led me to the following discovery: I am not ready for authentic Chinese cuisine. Fried duck tongues? Pass. Snails and pork intestine in porridge? Pass. Snails and crispy fins? Yes, still pass. Speaking with the only person I know who has admitted to eating pork intestine, […]
