Brad, Morgan, and Zoe were planning on going camping on Galveston Island this weekend, and I was going to go with them. I realized, however, that I'd really like Jess to be able to go as well, and I have a lot of things I need to accomplish before she gets here on the 6th, [...]

Reverend Jim: what's good to eat and cheap on DNT?
Corporate Jester: what stretch of DNT?
Reverend Jim: um.
Reverend Jim: north of 635…

As much as I despise Dallas, at times, I take pride in having a good working knowledge of its highways, freeways, and major roads. I don't claim to [...]

The details of this are difficult to relay without blowing the cover of who my employer is, but I'll try.
The topic of our meeting was as I expected: RIF. Those three nasty letters expand to "Reduction In Force" and are well known, lately, by IT professionals, application developers, and those in the telecommunications industry around [...]

Sometimes I don't feel very attractive.
Like right now.

An emergency meeting has been called at work for 10:00am this morning. When asked what the meeting is about, my boss replies with, "You'll find out when everyone else does."
Knowing that we have to elimnate another 4300 in equivalent headcount before year-end doesn't make this any easier. Add to that the fact that we've already [...]

If I keep reading any more of Clark Hornbell's archives, I'm going to lose my job. Want to lose yours too? Good. Read this:
I was walking by somebody's compost heap, on my way to lunch today, when the whole pile got up and started talking to me. Soil, rot, and all. I [...]

Apparently, all the higher ups at Microsoft like to build outrageously expensive surroundings for themselves. We all know about Bill Gate's $97,000,000, 66,000 sqft (that's 1.5 acres!) house in Washington State. But, did you know that Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft, has an equally extravagant yacht at his disposal?
As nice as Bill's house may be, [...]

I recently made my way to Clark Hornbell's site by recommendation. Clark offers off the cuff, realistic views of life, love, relationships, the workplace, and anything else that might strike him "each day… For the good of mankind".
Today, Clark realistically dices up the sour taste of office life and places it on a platter for [...]

My current webhosting provider bills me $95.00/mo. With this I am allocated 600MB of space, unlimited data transfer, unlimited FTP accounts, unlimited email accounts, full access to my apache configuration files, unlimited MySQL access, custom PHP and Apache modules, unlimited domains, and unlimited subdomains. The problem is, the servers are slow and quite expensive, so [...]
