Meglet Rambles On

Hooray for pizza delivery. After a really brutal weekend spent working with the network admins to help move the data center at work (a solid 24 hour long shift) yesterday was an all-hands-on-the-phones day for the Help Desk. Which turned out to do absolutely no good, since our network service provider screwed up, and we [...]

Just trying to take a nap on the nice warm UPS:

But people keep waking you up:

And when you try to snuggle up with a buddy for a nap, you get a bath instead!

Usually when I get home from work, I like to either get stuff-laundry, dishes, etc done-I’d relax by watching tv or surfing the net. But sometimes, after a really long week, it’s best to just sit in the shade on the patio with a taco and an ameretto and sprite, and listen to the breeze.

And I have the pictures to prove it.
For the first time in probably two years, my “basement” is clean. I call my main living space the basement, but it’s really half the ground floor of the house, the other half being a two-car garage. With the combination of being my main living area, the amount [...]

I love books. I’ve been reading since grade school, pretty much anything I could get my hands on that sounded entertaining. Books are a great escape from the daily stresses of life, and a great way to learn about other people and cultures and experiences without ever leaving the comfort of your home.
There was [...]

I hate roundabouts. Growing up on the left coast, roundabouts were something that existed in British TV shows and movies.
Then I took a 5-day road trip on the east coast with a friend. We had a saying, during that trip: Round and round and round we go, where we stop, nobody knows! It appears that [...]

I love Amazon. I could spend my entire month’s salary there, every month, if I didn’t have bills to pay and savings to aquire. It’s an addiction. But seriously, they sell EVERYTHING. The usual books, CDs, and DVDs, plus computer parts, camera equipment, electronics, bulk groceries (woohoo for 6-packs of beef jerky!) and household items [...]

Between work, errands, and things to do around the house, I’ve been a bit busy lately. But I got everything finished up last night, and had hoped to write a nice long ramble about my collection habits. Instead, I ended up with a migraine. I hate migraines. I used to get them very frequently; at [...]

I love junk food. I prefer salty junk food, particularly Pringles, but I’ll rarely turn down candy when it’s offered. In fact, Pringles and Mt Dew are pretty much my standard breakfast, and my coworkers get a little nervous when I run out of either one, because I tend to get cranky. The new guy [...]

Friday, everybody said those of us who waited 5 hours or more in line for an iPhone were crazy. They said we should just wait a couple days, and there would be no lines, and then we could just walk into an Apple store and buy an iPhone.
Well, now that Apple stores in 24 states [...]
