I can’t help but wonder if I really am the “insensitive bitch” that some people seem to think I am.
I can’t remember if I posted about it here on my blog, but a while back my mom was let go from her job for [essentially] attending a seminar that she needed but that her office [...]

For some reason quite a few of my friends have been turning to me for help with their taxes, most of whom have generated some sort of income through the internet. I find this kind of funny since I’m not an accountant (although my mother is and I have some experience as well) and I [...]

It’s Monday, which means the start of a new week of littering the town with my resume in the hopes that I can find a job to pay the bills. At this point finding a place where I can actually put my degree to use has become a secondary objective. Sad really.
I’m almost [...]

Ever since my laptop crashed a few months ago I’ve been very careful about keeping my files backed up, software up to date, and regular scans. I’ve got my most important files, like my 10GB of music, 300 fonts, some important software I can’t just “download”, and dozens of adobe brushes kept backed up on [...]

I got back from theater a little while ago. My mother and I went to see Michael Jackson’s This Is It which is a video biography that contains footage of the rehearsals for MJ’s This Is It tour as well as interviews from dancers, producers, and musicians who were involved in its production.

By this I mean that the office does not open until 8am and closes at 3pm, assuming she has work to keep her busy. If she’s finished with her clients for the day, which she usually [...]

Several years ago there was a developer in the El Paso, TX area who attempted to fill up an arroyo and sold homes there. When we had our “monsoon” season it flooded and many houses were damaged. Home owners were very…upset…as you can imagine. The developer clearly forgot to mention some things before selling those [...]

Something of interest happened today. One of the businesses at the office complex where my mother’s office is was doing some moving in. I think they might have been doing some upgrades to their hardware, but I’m not certain. What I am certain of is that the technician in charge of setting up their computers [...]

My grandfather got an interesting letter in the mail today. It’s from an agency called Comerica Financial Inc. Apparently he “won” a sweepstakes and they have been attempting to contact and distribute the winnings to him and he has not responded to the previous attempts. He says that, yes, he has received letters from them [...]

I think that’s exactly what the Department of Transportation (DOT) thought when they posted these little signs below the posted speed limit on our street:

No, you are not seeing things. The signs below the speed limit signs really do read “Please Drive Slowly”. I honestly think the DOT is getting desperate here. I’ve never even [...]
