I’m back from not caring

A couple of years ago I stopped making posts on this blog (you can see exactly how long ago by seeing the date of my previous post), because I was pretty sure I had nothing to contribute. At the time, I was right about that. I can’t be sure that I’ll be any better this […]

Zombieland

Not like the amazing comedy zombie movie, but how I’m feeling right now, between rotating shiftwork. I really am not a fan of a 7pm to 7am shift. Who thinks of these? At around 4am, my brain has resorted to begging for sleep. I think it nearly started beating the backs of my eyeballs. I […]

I Made it Back

Yeah, I forgot about writing on this blog. Gonna have to remember to do this. I made it back from Australia. It was totally kickin! That’s 4 continents I’ve visited – only 3 left.

Not Gonna Try the Vegemite

Quick update. In Sydney. Beautiful out here. Will write more when I get back.

Bad Medicine

At work today, I noticed that someone had put up a chart with medical ‘facts’ listed on it. Some sounded plausible, others were not so plausible. None of them had citations or any hint as where to look for confirmation. Here’s the link to said chart: http://keyhomeschool.org/files/Health_Chart.pdf I needed guidance on what to do with […]

Gonna Fly

I love traveling. I just finished a work trip to the place my heart calls home. It was difficult to leave the friends I have there, and it’s more difficult knowing that I might never see some of them again. I’m at an airport on my way back. Flying alone away from friends is cruel. […]

Motivated to Write

I’m motivated to get to writing my story. I’ve got a few ideas brewing in my head, but the motivation only seems to happen when I’m at my day job. How do I go about keeping that motivation after work is finished? Sometimes I’m exhausted, sometimes I have to go to the gym, but there’s […]

Magnet of Woo

Bear with me – I’m writing this on my blackberry, so it’ll be short. I’ve been ‘discussing’ some topics on my facebook page after I posted a link from a guy who made a list of what skeptics (like me) really believe. Most people I know agreed with me (big surprise there) that this particular […]

Hey Look! No Readers!

Not that I expect any. I don’t advertise, nor have I even told my friends or even my wife about this blog. I am just writing stuff down. I may have to get my act together, though. I just realized today that this month is NaNoWriMo. I am writing a novel. I use that phrase […]

Officially Driving the Booze Bus

I arrived at work this morning, just myself and the other engineer in the alcohol department. The superintendent took a three-day weekend, and he’ll be back tomorrow. I learned that my partner, the one who has been showing me the ropes for the past month, has been relocated to a different plant. He stayed for […]
