HOO-HAH!
Posted Nov 8, 2003
Well I quit my job today. Two more weeks until it's final but putting in the notice felt good. This place has been absolute HELL on me for the past three years. So long, and thanks for all the paychecks. But no thanks for the ulcer.

Ugh
Posted Nov 7, 2003
Good Lord,
I'm never using the word fianc in a GuideML entry ever again.
Boss is too busy today to have a meeting so I can quit. When his secretary asked if she could could take a message I was tempted to say, "Yeah, tell him I quit" but I don't think that would go over very well.
Tomorrow I guess.

Hello, I must be going. I cannot stay I came to say I must be going. I'm glad I came but just the same I must be going.

*The title is also a clue to the RQG game going on right now...
I tried to quit my job yesterday but my boss wasn't around so I couldn't. How ironic. My wife and I want to leave this foul zombie-town behind and move to the country. Wine country. Plus, I'm going back to school to study computer programming because middle management bites. Get a simple part-time job, barely make ends meet, but be much much more happy.
I'll try quitting again later on today.

Kilts N' Kimonos
Posted Nov 4, 2003
Well, I got married this weekend. Finally. After 8+ months of dealing with the BCIS (formerly INS) my fiancee was able to come to this country (more on that later) and now we're hitched. It was kinda neat, me (being of Scottish decent... Clan Johnstone) in my kilt and her family (comming from Japan) in kimono. Lotsa beer, sake, and bagpipes.
Now for PART TWO... Getting my wife established here so she doesn't have to go back to Japan. Fun.

Cell phone antennas
Posted Oct 30, 2003
I don't know what it's like in other countries but in the USA and Japan I see a large number of people walking, driving, eating, etc... while using their cell phone. I'm sure I don't need to mention how annoying this is. But recently I've been noticing a new addition to this behavior. People who use their cell phone antennas to point at people and things. This is simply ridiculous. I mean, if you can't put away the frickin’ phone long enough to conduct important business like driving do you also have to have it in your hand when interacting with people? It's like they're saying, "See, I have a cell phone and I'm so popular that I cannot possibly put it away for even one second because I may receive a call at anytime so I want you to see it clearly before I receive my call and can answer it and ignore you completely." I saw someone order a bagel with his cell phone antenna today. He seemed to have some difficulty in choosing which bagel was the proper one to point his antenna at and I expected him at any moment to call his agent to be sure.
