Work? Heh…no thanks.

Our boss leaves the office at 2:45. Her boss is out all week. …and HER boss is out all week too. …and HIS boss is off doing press interviews in the UK or something. Why did it take us until 3:45 to realize the prison guards were gone and the gates were open? Damn. We’re […]

Livin’ in the fridge

Every Friday at 10am we get this e-mail: We will be cleaning all the refrigerators today at 2:00. Please label or remove any items you do not want thrown away. We will check dates on things like yogurt and salad dressing and will keep if the dates are good. It is always safest for you […]

Proof that RivalWorks existed

This article is just about the only press that RivalWorks, one of my former employers, ever got. Just thought I’d share. I’ve been working on the redesign for the Anime Boston web site. It’s not a completely radical change, but I think it’s a big improvement. I’ll probably put it live in mid-April, one year […]

I’m going to bed now…about 34 hours after I woke up. I think that’s a new personal record. I could stay up longer, but that would be insane. Besides, the whole point of this was to go to bed at a decent hour to shock my body into a new sleep schedule…instead of the almost […]

I get crap like this a lot

Date: 8 Jan 2002 02:36:15 -0000 From: “Derek Lapp” I’m very impressed with DigitalUI’s work. I’m a highschool student considering a career in web page design.

I am the Dotcom Kiss of Death

3/4ths of the companies I’ve worked for since graduating from college no longer exist: The Internet Company (aka internet.com) The Monster Board (now Monster.com…the lucky survivor) RivalWorks (sorry, web.archive.org didn’t save the images) ExpertCentral (aka “DumbassCentral”) With winners like that on my resume, no wonder nobody’s calling me for job interviews. It makes it look […]
