First Real Snow

Thursday, December 6th, 2007

Ah, snow.  It’s the best part of winter.  Frankly, the only good part.  Thanks to global warming, this has been the first real snow of the year.  It’s the first part of December!  I remember back in the day when we’d have snow in October.  Ah, the days.

Where I Work

These two Dilbert comics apparently pretty accurately describe my work: http://www.dilbert.com/comics/dilbert/archive/dilbert-20071126.html http://www.dilbert.com/comics/dilbert/archive/dilbert-20071125.html My work isn’t really like that, though.  Well, it kind of is.  C’est la vie.

I Don’t Like People Who Don’t Drink

That One Dell Guy
