I was working with some of my metrics this evening and every day (bar 11 0r 12) for the last 4 or 5 months someone does a search using my ex’s full name. It’s very strange and is always done on the same Blackberry. The search term used every day is he same, as is the machine it’s done on. It’s very strange. The graph…
#366 in a series of millions…
I’ve been doing a little more cleaning up around the house and getting into some of the bags of trash left around. Really bags of trash, complete with empty Diet Pepsi cans thrown in with piles of paper. One of those I’ve discovered today links very nicely into another piece of paper that arrived in the mail. I received a 30-day demand for $570 and…
Garage, pizza and getting-my-geek on!
A busy day today, a long call with a supplier let to a few hours work. Did not really plan for that, but it happens. Spent a couple of hours reorganizing the garage and turning the pile of 2-by-4 into a rather substantial workbench. But the highlight of my day was having my blood pressure taken, sharing pizza while watching Little Fockers. While the movie…
Sounders 2 – Fire 1: At last, three points.
The first win of the year is in the books and that particular elephant in the room is taken care of. It was not the best performance of the year, but it was good enough and that’s the piece that mattered. Montero was still out after surgery to his wrist last week; he was around the stadium with a hard cast on. He should be…
Coventry City: another poor year, another manager gone.
A couple of weeks ago, after a particularly poor 1-0 loss to Hull the Chairman of Coventry City sacked manager Aidy Boothroyd. The loss to Hull made it one win in the previous 16 games. At Christmas they were 5th in the table and looking comfortable there. Results were good and the team was drawing well. Since Boothroyd was sacked and replaced by assistant Steve…
What a differance a day makes
So this week we’ve had driving rain, snow, thick fog and today when I left work the sun was out. Dare I hope that we may have a dry weekend?
More bills…
So once again more bill come to light thoughtfully left to me by my ex. Today was a long conversation with Verizon wireless, once again more lies and Verizon are sending me their files on this account. Of course my name was on the account, from years ago when we opened it, unfortunately the contract she has decided is my responsibility was signed by her….
And on the 6th day of April…
“It’s very cold,” he said. Temperatures in Everett were down to 38 degrees. He said it’s not unusual to have a cold spell in early April. We said there would be showers and some might have frozen precipitation,” he said. “Generally we have cold troughs that come through and have (snow) flurries.” Chris Burke, with the National Weather Service (quote from Seattle Times this morning)…
Food, wine and a few laughs
Tonight was a good night, it was a full day at work but some friends that I worked with on a large project a few years ago are in town for the week. They work for a customer on what turned out to be a very complex and involved delivery. Tonight a few of us that worked on the project got invited out to dinner…
Errands, errands and errands…
An interesting and rather long day, with a lot of running around after work. Lawyers, courthouse and then the vet. But it’s not been a total waste, there has been a little education in there too. For a start I had no idea cats got hernias until this afternoon, but apparently they do. Other discoveries today: the police take harassment very seriously and that HR…
