By Tamera, on May 15th, 2008% Being the analyst that I am and the breaker of all things good I really enjoy poking at new technologies. Mostly because it is a great opportunity for me to tell you just how bad/stupid or broken it is. Rarely comes the time when I am 100% satisfied with a product. I generally am left with a feeling of damn they almost made it. 😉 So now I want to talk about a couple of these things I have been poking at.

Really my dogs are more popular than I am. The functionality is clean and basic but all of the additional applications being added . . . → Read More: New Technology
By Tamera, on April 19th, 2008% So I have been on this quest for a pair of wide legged jeans. I also have the requirements of not wanting waist bands and belt loops needing more of a flat front. This has led me to purchase some denim and use the trouser pattern I have to make a pair myself. I have been working on this all week and have had a few struggles. Like washing the material made a HUGE mess in the washer and dryer. So yesterday the pants were at the point where you can hold them up and see that they will be pants with only one problem. They are 6 feet wide. . . . → Read More: Damn it!
By Tamera, on April 16th, 2008% I generally make it a policy to not post from work but today I feel the need to make an exception. I just need to get this off my chest! What is wrong with this world? EVERYTHING!
Last night we decided that mowing the lawn and ordering pizza was a good idea. For the record this will be the last order to Papa Johns! My 12 pizza and some “cheese” sticks came to $21.00. Apparently they charge a delivery fee. No tip for you dude, talk to Papa John he collected $2 for delivery. Here are the notable things, while the prices of their pizzas and other menu items have . . . → Read More: What is wrong with this world?
By Tamera, on April 14th, 2008% Ok <rant> does not even begin to tell you what is about to happen here!
First let me start with Saturday. I went shopping because my Friday night plans got totally fucked up. It’s all good. The 16 year old check out operator at Wal*Mart decided she needed to SEE my credit card and compare my signatures. As if she is some sort of handwriting analyst or expert. WHAT THE CRAP EVAR!
Next I want to tell you about the major disappointment, a disappointment so big that I can’t tell you the last time I was this unhappy. We went to La Scala, absolutely my second favorite restaurant in town . . . → Read More: SO FAR
By Tamera, on April 2nd, 2008% “Many people have asked me what to do about their toxic bosses. You should know that while 50% of people seem like jerks, only 10% actually are. The remaining 40% are just insecure. They have personal issues and feel unsafe. They tweak people because they expect negative reactions and results. Try to give your difficult boss a feeling of immense safety by refusing to react and being rational in the face of irrationality. Do not feed into the frenzy and be very respectful. If your boss continues to act badly and is evil or it’s just not worth the effort, honor yourself and hopefully you’ve applied my principles so you . . . → Read More: Food for thought
By Tamera, on February 28th, 2008% The saga.
Wine of the month delivery happens on the next to the last Friday of the month (from what I can tell so far). I couldn’t stay home last Friday too many things going on. Sure enough get home there is the ticket. The problem, yet again the ticket is incomplete. I have no idea if the package is coming again or if I have to go pick it up.
Monday morning I call them to verify what is going to happen since the ticket is filled out or not so much. OH great what a nice guy on the phone. He’s not even going to try and . . . → Read More: DHL can BITE ME!
By ab, on February 12th, 2008% Well here I sit with my second beverage, madder than an ole’ wet hen. I just can’t even start. But here is an interesting update: KLT is on the phone with is dad, he just sprung the “what if we moved” on his dad. SWEET! This may be interesting or very very bad. Stay tuned folks. (Oh and I did off load some pictures today, let’s see if I get them posted.) THIS IS GOING DOWN HILL, MAY-DAY !! MAY – DAY !!! DANGER WILL ROBBINS!!!!!!!! DANGER!!!!!!!!!!
By Tamera, on January 30th, 2008% So here we are on Wednesday. I called emailed in sick this morning. My JAW, my tongue, and my gums hurt plus I had sinus pressure pushing on that ear. This has been one of the worst dentist visits ever. I will save that story for when I get back from dinner. For now let’s talk about my technical difficulties.
Monday night Lappy started acting stupid. Threw some outlook error about a file being already in use. OH well. Tuesday morning I decide to sit at the Kitchen table and work a little while I wait on Kerry. Let’s close outlook. OK no that isnt’ working, lets ctrl-alt-delete and kill . . . → Read More: Technical difficulties
By Tamera, on January 28th, 2008% I have a picture of the day and a wonderful story to tell but THEY BROKE ME AT THE DENTIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You will have to wait till tomorrow.
By Tamera, on January 15th, 2008% Boy yesterday late morning I discovered it was going to be a long weekend and it just changed everything!! 🙂 <– Where is the Macaulay Culkin smiley face when you need it. To make things even better the interest rates have dropped, I can refinance and save about 68 a month. Closing cost are less cause we don’t have to redo everything. My credit rating is way up. If I make the same payment I have been making I will cut like 8 years off the loan. What a beautiful day, except for the wind chill and the lack of RED ROCK outside my window. 😉
So tonight I was . . . → Read More: Tuesday
