The worst thing about holiday shopping, I think, is the inordinately large amount of stuff I end up buying for myself. The electronics sales this season have been crazy good, so I've purchased: 1. 1GB SD Card for the digital camera 2. Portable ...

2006-11-29T01:33:48Z

Today was a bad day, workwise and healthwise. Work was insane, and my eye's been hurting, and I'm still sick. BUT... my cell phone rang, and it was my grandfather. Since we just got back from there I answered with "What did we forget?" He laugh...

I did it!

2006-11-18T15:50:08Z

I walked the whole 5K and it was really no big deal. In fact, when it was over I couldn't believe it was over already. I expected to be out of breath and/or miserable and I was neither. The weather was perfect. I'm definitely doing that again ...

Worky work! Busy bee!

QotD: A Tip About Tipping

2006-11-12T13:13:39Z

What's your method for calculating a tip? Well, depending on the tax rate for the area, it's fairly simple. If the tax rate is 7.5 to 8% you can just double the tax for the tip (I usually double the tax and round up). Otherwise, I take the to...
