My Weird Pizza Hut Rant
My “adventure” ordering pizza last night and living life like a caveman.
Rant
Complaints, complaints, complaints!
Time to Retire?
What’s this? A blog post? After all this time? It is indeed. For want of a better word, I have retired. My former employer, the State of Arizona had (before they ruined it for newer employees) a fairly liberal retirement annuity program. To be fully vested for retirement you simply needed a combination of 80 … Read more
They Crashed Into My House – Conclusion?
On June 26, 2016 at about 11 PM I was working in my dining room and I heard what could only be described as an explosion. It came from my office and upon checking it, I discovered an automobile sticking into my home. Outside the car sat with two people in it: a driver and … Read more
I Don’t Know If I Should Laugh or Cry
It’s been a frustrating evening. About three weeks ago I received a surprise. I received a text message and a picture message from an unknown Arizona phone number. The text message looked like it was a piece of forwarded junk. You know the kind, some idiot receives a humorous picture by email and then forwards … Read more
If Disneyland is the Happiest Place on Earth, Facebook is…
…the most depressing place on Earth. (Needless to say, I’m not cross-posting this one to Facebook.) Facebook is a fascinating phenomena. You can, for example, find out what Mini-Me is doing right now. It is certainly also an amazing tool for finding old schoolmates and even long-lost friends. The “net” that the social network casts … Read more
Security with Frickin’ LASERS…
I’m not the most “glass half-full” person in the world, but I do try to pry some minor comfort from a situation that can only really be called a “loose-loose situation.” Last week, our home was burglarized. I can tell you, it’s quite an unusual feeling to come home on a normal day, start about … Read more
Spread the word, this is BAD!
Honestly, I thought this was an incredibly elaborate joke a la the Ben Stiller Show, but apparently it isn’t. This is a real mini-series, coming to the small screen near you – if you happen to be in the US. But with an impact like this, there’s no where to run.
Triumph in Ticketing
There are some distinct disadvantages to this whole “time zone” arrangement they use to keep the clocks on this planet all organized. One of the bad things is that when you want to do something in another time zone, it’s just the wrong time, and so it was for me early this morning. Tickets for … Read more
I Feel Another “Cheat” Coming…. (Spoiler Speculation)
Donna’s still got a bug? Is this timeline going to be undone, too? Wonder what Chris Eccleston has been doing lately?
Snake oil isn’t dead
OK, we’re all feeling the pinch with gas prices, but I really hate it when people start taking advantage of others when they’re vulnerable. That’s bad enough, but when the local news helps them, I’m appalled. Today, the local ABC affiliate, channel 15 published this story. It’s about a company that sells magnets (yes, magnets) … Read more
