Stupid Flu Bug

20-Mar-08

Well, two weeks ago I caught a flu from China that was bet against making its way over here. Despite my vaccination, I got a dang-awful dose of sick because of someone’s decision to not include that strain this year.
I’m back at work, but still coughing a lot, so the doc is putting me on [...]

American Idol: Top 11 Week - 3/19/2008

19-Mar-08

I thought it was a pretty good night for most, as far as their vocals are concerned. What is still bugging the crap out of me is everyone’s ineptitude at picking a good song. How can you go into Beatles week and “choose a song from its title” when they are friggin’ Beatles songs?
Who are [...]

Teachers Staying Home on Good Friday

19-Mar-08

Here in Tampa, Hillsborough County schools have always had Good Friday off. Always.
Until this year, that is.
This year, in their infinite wisdom, they have decided that it is too much of a pain to be ’selective’ in the school holiday policy, so they are ignoring ALL religious holidays. Yeah brilliant!

I’m Still Here!

14-Mar-08

It’s been a very long two weeks. I got the dreaded March flu last Monday night and missed work all of last week.
Not. Fun. At. All.
It knocked me down pretty hard, but I’m finally on the mend. After seeing all of the doctors I have, ending today, it’s been determined that I’m actually fixing myself [...]

Ask It Like You Mean It

09-Mar-08

Have you noticed that the kind greeting “How are you?” has turned into a passing “HeyHowrya!” recently?
I’m not quite sure exactly when it happened, but I can remember the culture shock of moving from a small mid-west farming/industrial community when I was 16 into the big life of the Tampa suburbs. Sure, there were fields, [...]
