Imagined conversation at Lowes headquarters when they we're planing the one near our house. Boardroom guy #1: Okay now for the most important decision we have to make today. What kind of plants should we put in the parking lot? Boardroom guy #2: How about some sort of ice plant? Boardroom Guy #1: No that's been done. Boardroom guy #2: Daises or Rosemary? Boardroom guy #1: No no no. You see those everywhere. I want this parking lot to be something people talk about. I want them to... Read Full Story

Okay okay I know I have been awful about posting (I like to pretend people are worried about this. It makes me feel special). I have 1000 excuses but really I haven't been very inspired. Someday I'll get over this writers block. On a side note Dave's cousin Rye used to have a blog called Ryters block, which I though was a pretty darn clever name. The same cousin posted this on Facebook the other day and it made me laugh so I'm sharing. Read Full Story

So this guy walks in to our department and starts talking to my boss about "the Ninja project". I thought either someone was a HIMYM fan or possibly just a huge duffis. It turns out actually we really do have a project going on for a company with Ninja in their name (Hence the capitalization. Check me out pretending I care about grammar and whatnot). Ninja project, how awesome is that? Read Full Story

Dave: What'd you get in the mail? Me: Oh! I don't know I didn't open the package yet. Probably it's just.... Dave: Oh! That stuff? Me: Yeah. At least I didn't order anything else. And this is actually what the packing label said when I opened the box. Read Full Story

Dave: It's the bees knees Me: Do bees even have knees? I mean I know they have legs but do they bend? Dave: I don't know but if they do they must be pretty cool. Read Full Story

Did I ever tell you the story of the time I was questioned by the FBI? No? Sweet! So back when I worked on a military base (not naming the company or even the specific job but if you dig through old posts you can probably figure it out) we had some product disappear. Now one this was a large theft worth tens of thousands of dollars and two being on a military base everything is Federal. There were actually two separate thefts which helped us narrow down the suspects. There were... Read Full Story

Do you think hair stylists look forward to the part of the appointment where they get to  blow dry your hair 'cause then they don't have to make conversation any more? Read Full Story

So I'm heading back in to the work force today. Not really a big deal. I've done it before. But I am terrified. Not of the job. Pffft I can do the job. I'm scared that Fiona won't like me any more. Seriously how sad is that? Back when we were both working she only ever wanted Dave and would literally tell me, :Go away Mommy!" before closing the door in my face. Now that we've spent so much time together she wants to be around me and tells me she loves me. Being home with her... Read Full Story

Okay... Weird question but how many comments can you all see on yesterdays post? I ask because what I published, what shows if I go to the comments history, and what actually show if I look at the blog are all different. Anyhow unless you are spam I tried to publish your comment. And it appears everyone besides me can see all of them so I guess that's not an issue. Oh FYI after all my complaining I got a call yesterday afternoon. So as of Monday I return to the ranks of the... Read Full Story

Here's what's been going on. Twice in the last couple weeks. Two times. Count them, one, two. Twice I've gone through multiple job interviews and been told I'm in the final candidates (in one case the guy even said he was leaning towards me) and in both cases they did not choose me. Btw the second one was after that other post about the two job leads, making this a third good job lead. Now neither one was my dream job (though the first one paid really well) but it's so...
