Month: October 2001

What a crazy past few days. I just got back from taking myself out to dinner at Pompei for a chopped chicken salad and bread… was going to stop off at the straight Caribou Coffee and write but there were no tables and was going to go to the Cariboi but figured I’ll be there […]

It has been a busy week – I’ve got Alan and Jessi’s wedding extravaganza this weekend and Ron is working all weekend so we’ve been trying to pack in as much Ron/Andy time as possible. He just moved into a new studio apartment this week and is living by himself for the first time in […]

I was thinking about Ron and myself on the walk home from a nice salad and slice o’ pizza at Pompei. I think that our chance meeting was really a good thing – that we didn’t have time to email and discuss things or hear from friends about how wonderful the other one was. I […]

Great story: this lady kicked the ass of a company that was abusing her internet identity for spam. She even went so far as to post nude pictures that she hacked off of the offenders’ machines. Totaly delightful, delovely and de-vengeful.

I ate too much. Today is our Learning Fair at work – we’re showing everyone all the types of online training available to them. Also known as CBT. Computer based training – NOT cock and ball torture. Anyway – we get a free lunch voucher for the cafeteria and I went way overboard. Big time. […]
