I hope that headhunter calls back on Monday. I really can’t put up with Painville any longer. I did about 2 hours of work there today, but I had to wait for him to get back before I could take off…and he didn’t come back until about 4 hours after I finished…and I only get […]
Read More My brain is tiredI got a call at 9am this morning and to my surprise, it wasn’t him! It was a headhunter I had gotten e-mail from yesterday about a 3+ month consulting position to redesign the web site and intranet sites of a company in Andover. Andover’s quite a hike from here (probably as far as Plainville), […]

I really need to get one of these T-shirts before I go up to Maine to visit family for Thanksgiving. At the very latest, I need one for when I return home for Christmas.
Read More Family obligations…It just occurred to me… WHY am I going to Plainville tomorrow morning? Just to work on his web sites? I’m supposed to bring my PowerBook down there and work on the sites while he tells me how to do my job? Um, I’m not liking this idea. Not liking it at all. Besides, my […]
Read More Woah! Hold the phone!The Tick was great! I loved it! A lot of references to the original comic book too that cartoon-only Tick fans wouldn’t get. 🙂 …and he mentioned pie. For some reason, trips down to Painville always kill any motivation I might have had for the rest of the day…so I’m really not looking forward to […]
Read More Spoon!Pita was down yesterday and it seems to be mighty unreliable today. I’ll probably ditch it and write my own stupid blog system before long. It’s not like it’s hard. Called Apple. They’re sending a nifty new round AC adapter for my PowerBook to replace my current one. Woo! Anyway… Yesterday, Greg came over with […]
Read More pita = Pain In The AssSweet! Apple has a recall on my PowerBook G3’s AC adapter. The cord was bent too much and so sometimes the AC wouldn’t work (until I fiddled with the cable.) Now I’ll be able to get a new one for free! Woo! They say the adapters overheated, but mine never really did…just warm.
Read More Total RecallI headed over to Elana’s office with plenty of time to spare. I didn’t want to be late this time. She had to finish up some work, so I hung out until she was ready. When her big file transfer hit 49%, we figured it was probably safe and headed out. I took her to […]
Read More Dinner and a musical“Hi, I’m calling from the Daily News Tribune and I was wondering if you had received a complimentary copy of our paper on Friday.” “No, I don’t believe so.” “Great! Well in that case I’m able to offer you a subscription to our paper at a reduced rate. We’ll bill you for Monday through Thursday […]
Read More I hate telemarketers!I went down to Plainville today to talk with FreakBoss. He told me about another site that he wanted me to work on, but apparently the client (a concrete company) hadn’t actually requested it yet…so after I do a concept design, they may decide they don’t want it, so no money. A second site he […]
