… of this thing called “work”. I’m woefully behind on my LJ reading, dammit!! Funny thing is, I can LJ at work, I just didn’t have the time. As it was my first day, this may not bode well at all… :::snicker::: It was pretty good though. Could be interesting at least. And it isn’t tech support. That in itself is a Good Thing ™.
OK, so it seems I have a job now. At least for a couple of months, anyway. It's a temporary QA intern job – I start tomorrow. Hope it works out ok!
Keep an eye on St. Helens! (live web cam) I’ve got a soft spot for the old girl. She was beautiful before she lost her top, and she provided quite a bit of excitement when I was a kid. (A June eruption, viewed from our roof)
Ok, so I've been using a bookmark system called Furl, which apparently was just purchased by LookSmart. Well, I don't know what that'll mean, so I went ahead and checked out del.icio.us. Both let you categorize, both have rss feeds, both seem pretty cool. Furl stores the article itself as well, so links won't completely disappear. Because of that, I think I'm going to use both for a bit, and see how it goes. So here's my link blogs: http://del.icio.us/jenbooks and http://www.furl.net/members/jenmyers1 Also – I've got 5 gmail invites. You might as well give in. <grin> (Edit – almost forgot:…
My right hand and wrist have been hurting very badly since Sunday. Gripping anything is painful; opening jars is impossible. I've been wearing a hand/wrist brace for most of yesterday and all day today – it seems to help some. I really, really hope it's just a flare up caused by poor mouse habits. If this was caused by shooting on Saturday I think I'll cry.
Well, today was the first time I've fired a gun since childhood – and it was a blast! (no pun intended) We shot a Glock 19 and a Sig something or other – it had a slightly bigger grip, and the barrel was a tad longer than the Glock. We went through three boxes of ammo – I wouldn't have minded another box. Things I learned: – The Glock is nice. Easy, and it felt comfortable in my hand. The Sig was alright, but the brass headed toward me when I was shooting a lot more than the Glock. It…
* Cold leftover chinese food for breakfast is just plain good. Yum. * So our bank atm cards expire this month. We've been wondering where they are, so called the bank. Bank says, oh, they've been sent out, and they're activated. WHAT??!? There's been no unexplained bank activity that I can see on the online bank statement. After a minor panic, it turns out that there was a glitch: the cards were sent out, but they were sent out already activated. Sheesh. So we cancelled all of 'em, our current ones and the ones in the mail, and had them…

So twice recently I've been caught without a camera when I could've used one. The other day, we went to the Austin Zoo on a whim, so I didn't have it with me. Then Saturday, we'd left the house to go to Costco and heard that there was a car show right in that area, so we decided to go there after lunch. Again, no camera. Sigh. I need to start taking it with me everywhere, dammit!! Today was good. There was a “Monster Library Book Sale” near us – $3 a bag, and $5 a box. Of course we…
