Baby, it’s cold outside.
Another Friday morning which feels more like a Tuesday morning. And another freakishly cold morning. Thank you wind chill for making -12 roughly translate to -19. And now you can go right to hell.

I despise Microsoft Office 2007.
Well, actually, I despise Microsoft. But Office 2007 for specific reasons. Primarily, it should not take me, who knows his way pretty much around Office products for the most part like the back of my hand, an hour and a half to figure out where the hell they put this … Read the rest

Someone’s gonna have to reformat…
I just spent the better part of 3 hours on a spyware call. That ended up pretty much being nailed, except for a lingering Windows Installer issue. Nothing I tried was working, and even the fix I ended up settling on was a little iffy at best. If she does … Read the rest

Kissing hour number 2, and…
I’m still no closer to actually waking up, despite help from the cold that is mother nature. It sucks. Loads. But, 6.5 hours longer and I can go home. And watch my poor hockey team lose another game. Or maybe I’ll just order pizza. Or maybe not. Maybe I’ll decide … Read the rest

Free breakfast at Cora’s? Well worth coming to work.
As is only having to work 4.5 hours yesterday. Sadly, that good luck was not meant to carry over to day. But ’twill be made up for. In the form of various after work activities. There’s a birthday that needs cellebrating. And if she’s not up for that, I’m at … Read the rest
