Just Call Me Satan Jr
You know you work in hell when after asking an employee to clean the filter on the ice machine he starts his sentence with “when I was in prison…” and then goes on to tell you all about breathing freon and how it makes you go “waaa waaa” and makes your legs weak. I think…Read more
Poker Strategy
I enjoy playing a nice game of poker. I think I’ve mentioned that my former neighbor built his own table (it was VERY nice) and would host games in his basement. Due to work hours and such I never got the chance to participate in one of his games, which I regret particularly since they…Read more
TGIS?
Since today is my Friday it might as well be ‘thank god it’s Sunday’. I’m off for the next couple of days, which is nice. I want to sleep in for a change tomorrow and then I have a ton of stuff to do. We have to go get school clothes for the girls and…Read more
Updates (on the PC side)

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Release
Well, only about half an hour until the Harry Potter book gets released. I have enjoyed the extra traffic this week, as well as the extra Google Adsense hits that came along with it. Quite a bit more than the normal amount that I get, mainly because of my post on the Deathly Hallows Spoiler…Read more
I hate days like this…
For some reason this entire week has been very rough. I think it’s mainly a result of staying out too late the other evening. I have felt like I was behind the eight ball all week long. It was still worth it though. I just got home from overseeing shift change at my busiest store….Read more
Bariatric Weight Loss
Sponsored by DietDirect I wrote an article on another site recently on weight loss and some of the different ways that people go about losing weight, including straight dieting, drugs, homeopathic resources and even surgery. Bariatric surgery is a surgical treatment where they may do gastric bypass surgery or what’s called a “lap band” (adjustable…Read more
