Late Night

I’m not going to use this blog to talk much about work, since that can get you in a whole mess of trouble. I will say that I have no real content for the blog tonight because I just got home from work, and that sucks.

How about that new iPhone? I love my Motorola RAZR, but I’ve been waiting for an iPod with video since the original touchscreen rumours were circulating nearly a year ago. I just got an iPod shuffle for Christmas, which is a really convenient device, but omg that iPhone interface! It remains to be seen whether we’ll get it in any form up here in Canada, but I’ll be keeping an eye out.

Sick Day

Today was spent sleeping and watching DVDs of Naruto on the couch. I’m feeling pretty awful, but work is about to get busy again so I figured taking one day off now was better than feeling awful for the next 4 days, or maybe even getting worse.
This is only the 3rd sick day I’ve used in all my 7 years at the company. Pretty crazy, huh? I don’t usually take vacations either, although I’m beginning to get to the point in my life where I would rather have the time off, rather than the extra money. I wanted to take a few days off at the end of last year, but we ended up working so hard that I totally forgot to book them.
At least the extra vacation time gets paid out, which I was going to use to buy something extravagant, but I also received notice of my upcoming house insurance today, so that’s probably out.

One of my friends from University and High School got married yesterday. I doubt he reads this blog, but congratulations anyway, B!

A Dilemma

How does one throw out a garbage can? I have this step-pedal contraption I bought for 14 dollars at Wal-Mart, and the fucking thing has never worked properly. But if I put it on the curb on garbage day, they’ll just “empty” it into the garbage truck and then put it back.

The best idea I can come up with is to buy a bigger garbage can, and put the old one inside of it.

Happy New Year!

So, the New Year, and reading everyone else’s blogs filled with hope, good news, and happiness, has inspired me to finally make a blog post.

I’ve junked Movabletype, and installed WordPress. We’ll see how that works out. So far, I’m liking the part where I can actually install it, but I’m not sure about the security
