So I received a call just now from a number that came up as only having 5 digits on the Caller-ID. I let it go to voice mail, as I normally do with unknown numbers.
The voice mail said that it came from my bank (it actually named the correct bank) and said that my card [...]

Since the internet intermission currently going on at our house, I have neglected my blogging duties nearly completely. I say nearly, because I still try to keep up with other folkses writings, but obviously have not offered anything up myself of any worth in quite a while.
So, as the title suggests, I’ve read quite a [...]

Is there anything more pathetic than watching for the email that’s not coming?
Probably.

There just might be a God, and if so, she’s a coder.

This will likely start out as a padder post, one made in order to test the fact that someone has graciously and most awesomely created a cross-poster from WordPress to Myspace.
I’ll admit, I can be pretty lazy, and it sucked hugely to have to copy/paste my blog into the Myspace blog section, format correctly (and [...]
High school, lost friends.
January 29th, 2008 · 1 Comment
High school was pretty hard for me. It was better than middle school, though. I remember thinking what a blessing it would be, going from Metcalf Middle School to North Kingstown HS, because so many people would be there that I wouldn’t have to endure the constant barage of insults, teasing, and outright hatefulness of [...]

Welcome back to the world of the car’d.
January 15th, 2008 · No Comments
Yes, ladies and gents, I have dived into the realm of Car Payment Land. It’s been much too long– at least six months — since I’ve been able to come and go as I please without begging a favor from a friend, and let me tell you, it’s very pleasant.
What I’ve tied myself [...]

Stop the world, I wanna get off.

Well, I’m not quite sure how it’s already the tenth of October — time is flying again. Today has been really frustrating, work and home/businessish stuff is pissing me off hugely.
Work is just boring. I’m so tired of being bored and equally tired of complaining of being bored. Probably proportional to the amount of [...]

There’s a position open at work that I want soooo badly. My job, in a nutshell would be to blog all day about JTV, upload videos about JTV to YouTube, manage the JTV Facebook acct, and go out in search of new and cool places to blog about JTV and talk up the company.

Had my yearly review today. Despite some absenteeism issues due mainly to my car’s suicide and change of residence, I still got my full 5% raise. This will take into effect in possibly 2 paychecks, but I’ll be paid retroactively starting this past Sunday. Woot!
Also going into effect is my taking on [...]

I just had to explain to the person I was ordering a pizza from what a hyphen is.
Him: Your full name on the card?
Me: liakela hyphen (the rest of my first name) (my last name)
Him: Is that (completely misspells my very plain, very easy, very Biblical name)
Me: No, it’s (duh, retard-o)
Him: Oh, ok. No, I [...]
