Dear Mister Combs,
I, as one of the thousands of fans in your “Bad Boy Family™,” was particularly interested to hear that you are plan to be running in the New York City Marathon. And, as a general enthusiast for your music producing, fashion and restaurant expertise I have a couple of… shall we say, [...]
I still like it here. But no one smokes.
As a matter of fact, I am convinced that of the couple thousand employees that work in this office, there are only four of us that smoke, three of which are us web contractors.
It’s the most noticeable during lunchtime, when I’m outside the building puffing [...]
Work is good. It’s keeping me busy. I would love to talk about the project that I’m working on, except for two things:
The five pages of non-disclosure agreements. What I can say: it’s a BIG project, and when it launches, I’ll link to it with an explanation of how and why [...]
So, I make it a tradition for myself to buy a dozen doughnuts to offer to co-workers. Kinda like how tribal villages offer babies as a peace offering, except replace “baby” with “processed sugar and fat.”
I’ve had some, uhm, not-so-satisfactory results with offering doughnuts to previous co-workers. Now that I work at one [...]
Yesterday night, 10:45pm. The phone rings. (Chinese is contained in <BLINK> tags italicized.)
Ernie: Hello?
Voice: Where the hell have you been? You haven’t picked up your phone in three days. Are you dead? Did something happen to you? Are you living somewhere else now?
Ernie: Hi, Ma.
Mom: [...]
This place is pretty decked out. A gym! Ping-pong tables! Free coffee!
That said, the area I work in is eerily quiet: much more than the raucous, cliched first dot-com I worked for, even quieter than the conservative telecommunications company I used to work at. I mean, sure, there is an [...]
I’m so going to hell for that weblog entry title.
My roommate and I, we come from very different backgrounds. He grew up in Sonora. I grew up in, well, a less rural setting.
Paris: Dude, I was totally sad today. Johnny Cash is dead.
Ernie: That country guy?
Paris: “That country guy?!” [...]
I’m kinda behind the times, seeing that I don’t have cable. That being said…
When did VH1 stop showing music videos? I mean, MTV stopped showing music videos a long time ago, and I’ve gotten used to it. But the multiple times I’ve come over to the boyfriend’s house, I’ve only seen the [...]
This weekend, Mike had the opportunity to score an interview with Junior Senior for the organization he works for. Would I want to come along for the interview?
Junior Senior, for those who don’t know, is a Danish pop/rock group that has received some pretty good reviews and a segment on MTV thanks to a [...]
The mini-blogged killed off any real content to this website. I know, I know.
Not that I have anything to write about, having no real 9-to-5 job at all. This may all change soon, however, because along with a freelance project here and there, I recently interviewed for a job doing web development for [...]
