I discovered that my credit card was only charged once by Newtype USA even though I ordered subscriptions for both myself and Lizzard. I e-mailed and discovered that mine apparently never went through (even though I got two confirmation e-mails). …but that’s taken care of now. Yesterday and today I’ve been working on pages related […]
Read More Newtype and New HypeMonster usually does layoffs only on Tuesdays…but they let some people go today. Pretty unexpected. Some friends of people in my department too. They seemed to mostly be in Product Management…which doesn’t make a lot of sense to do now…right in the middle of a major product change. (There will be a big site redesign […]
Read More Layoffs…again.After work, I drove down to Natick to hit a few stores. I went to A.C.Moore to get a box frame (to put Burned Gundam in), spent most of my $25 gift card at Borders on the Princess Mononoke DVD (which I finally got after having it on my Amazon wish list for years), traded […]
Read More Shopping spreeIt has snowed (a little or a lot) every damn day since Friday…and it’s going to keep doing that through Thursday of this week (so says weather.com). I’d like to see the sun again someday. Got some stuff done at work today, but I really wanted nothing more than going home and crawling into bed. […]

That’s one of the things I absolutely hated having to do when I worked for The Monster Board four years ago. Except for the occasional consulting job that required me to count my hours, I have […]
Read More I hate timesheetsI got a smack on the wrist today for coming in about 20 minutes later than usual without calling to say I’d be in later. Yeah, I overslept a little bit and then discovered I had to scrape my car when I got out to it this morning. Blah. Got my Christmas presents from Lizz. […]
Read More Yeah, shame on me. Whatever.I got out of work at 2:30pm today and went to Microcenter to try to find a Mac-to-VGA adapter. (I have two VGA-to-Mac adapters, but I need one that will let me plug a Mac monitor connection into a VGA port.) They didn’t have any, but I found a couple gender changers and put one […]
Read More What to do… What to do…My brother and his wife were away for Christmas, so we celebrated last night. We opened presents and had lasagna at my brother’s house. It was fun, but next year I’d rather have it at my parents’ house so that we don’t have to haul all the presents to my brother’s house and back. That […]

I got let out of work at Noon on Christmas Eve, filled my car’s tank, and drove up to Maine non-stop. I got to my parents’ house at about 2:15pm…just as my father was about to go see his mother. I said I’d go along as soon as I brought my stuff inside. …but then […]
