Wait… what?
Wednesday, July 25th, 2007I was just browsing the headlines of the Providence Journal and came across this one:
State OKs sale of DOT building that houses strip club
PROVIDENCE — As of next week, the state may no longer be the owner of a building that houses a strip club.
That’s right. Apparently, a building that houses a strip […]
Follow the process.
Wednesday, July 25th, 2007An exchange just overheard between an employee who instituted a new automated status reporting tool, and a manager who misses the old method of reporting an estimated percent complete:
“Yeah and I hate that thing too by the way.”
“What? How could you say that, it’s so easy!”

Now the only problem is investing my money instead of letting it sit in my checking account due to laziness.

Monday, July 9th, 2007Careful man, there’s a beverage here!
space out.
