Gotta get up, gotta go to work …
They say writing first thing in the morning is a good habit to learn to get into. Get up earlier, sit down at the keyboard, and just start writing. That's kind of what I'm doing at this point. But even I can see there are problems with that notion: 1. If you already get up…

Road to Nowhere Hey, so Loud Boy is back. Not sure what the context was, but I overheard this today: Loud Boy (on the phone with a colleague): … Yeah, it was pretty exciting, Bloomberg was there, so was Lance Armstrong — Colleague (who I can hear because they're sitting nearby): Yeah, so was David…
Read MoreUpdate: Mea culpas, too many ideas, a little “Sex”
Photo by John Hann Bad, bad blogger. Bad, bad updater. What can I say, except that in addition to this blog there's the one for work, the one for the band, the one for the faded but still present obsession, and there's one they're trying to get me to contribute to but I need more…

Right, so what I've learned by having a very loud young man sitting about a yard from me in the offices — a sales rep, no less — is that I am a complete snob. Sure, it's probably a reflex action because he's loud (I did say that) and he ends every sentence he makes…

A heady feeling Well, the skull that scared Ciara is done. Or about 95 percent so. Here she is hanging up and drying, but I had to reinforce the head and am reinforcing the bottom where all the candy will sit when it's hanging up, full. Mike bought half-price candy today and now it's all…

"On average, I think the toilet paper is the more impactful image." I should hope so.
Read MoreThe refrigerator thief strikes! News at 11!
More antics from the work kitchen. (Earlier events here. And here.) Bear in mind that for the most part, there are no chronological children anywhere in reach, and that our floor takes up a full city block of people. I noticed this attention-grabber this morning (light text only) then came back for a snack later…

Ohhhh … candy I think the candy dispenser machine at work is a masochist. The more I abuse it, the more return I get for my buck. A while back, it started eating money without giving any back. Nobody posted anything on the machine to alert others to this, it just happened. Then I went…
