It’s Show Time! 31 March 2007 at 9:03 pm by Jason 442 views

Today was my first introduction to the trade show that my company puts on. Since I was a “virgin” they decided I should work Badge Check. My job was to only let in those who had badges… not a hard job at all, but 12 hours of standing on concrete doesn’t do anything nice for my feet.

I will say this, the show itself was amazing. I’ve never been to anything like it before. I was told that although we had thousands show up, next time will be bigger. Wow.

After show they put on an open house here at the new offices and invited all attendees to show up, so I decided to come and protect my office aquariums from all the now liquered up patrons (kegs + unlimited martinis downstairs = danger). Nothing happened, thank goodness.

All in all it was great, though I may never walk again…. except when part 2 happens tomorrow.



+ Goodbye 2005! By Jason 31 December 2005 at 11:59 pm 419 views No Comments

Well, it’s time to say goodbye to 2005, a year that taught us the Ashley Simpson jig, showed us just how horrible natural disasters can be, finished the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy, and much more. With all that said, let’s take these last 60 seconds (for those of you in my time zone) and reflect back on it. Why? Because it’s almost time for….

+ Less than 24 hours to go… By Jason 21 December 2005 at 11:22 am 432 views 3 Comments

…and I feel like we don’t have enough time. :S So close, yet so far away… we still have to finish cleaning the house, do the laundry, pack, show Jess’ dad how to feed our fish, get an oil change, etc.

I wish I had thought ahead and had requested today off. That way I could have been at least helping get stuff done, rather than sitting here trying to figure it all out. Luckily we got a lot done between last night and this morning. The cats are at the vet (they also board animals), the last of our X-mas shopping has been done, I got most of the programs I need for the computers downloaded, I got the laptop charged, etc.

Okay, enough with all my pre-vacation worries… let’s see, what else is going on around the house? Jess is having me redo her blog, since she likes the way mine turned out (it will be similar to mine, but not exact)… so that should be done later today. Since we’re talking about blogs, I updated to WP 2.0RC3… very very nice! It took only about 2 min to setup, and another 4 to redo some custom settings! I love a lot of the new features, so if you’re thinking about upgrading, go for it!

Now then, onto the fish (and fishlike creatures)… Levi has eaten about half of his old shell, so I can stop wondering about that. When we get back I’ll have to take some new pictures of him… he’s gotten quite large. The Bettas are still doing fine, though I worry about their water while I’m gone. I’ve been doing 50% water changes every 2-3 days or so, and we’ll be gone about 5. I’ll have to test it when I get home and see how bad it is (I last changed it on Sat Morning, so it’s been 4 days), hopefully it won’t be that bad so I don’t have to worry about them. The other fish are also doing fine… the Corries have gotten quite big, and are doing great. The only fish I worry about in there are the Glo-Fish™. They have the tendancy to chase each other around and I don’t really know why they do it. I’ll have to do more research on it.

And last (but not least), the cats. We checked them out before we left this morning… Kisa’s eye is doing much better with the eyedrops, and Mishka is doing good as usual… let’s hope they come back from the vet that way (last time Kisa came back with worms, ugh!).

Okay, that’s about all the time I have for now, need to get back to work. Feel free to talk about your upcoming holiday vacations… hopefully they’ll be great! Next post will either be from FL, or when I get back (hopefully I’ll have some new pics for my gallery)! :)



+ It’s the most busyful time of the year By Jason 13 December 2005 at 8:23 am 286 views No Comments

Wow, it’s almost Christmas/Chanukah/Holiday time and I feel like I’ll never get through it. Jess and I still have presents to buy (some people just can’t tell ya what they want), and we still have all our cards to be sent out (not just Christmas/Holiday/Chanukah cards, but engagement notices for our families as well). While that normally isn’t bad, time isn’t on our side… we’re going to my parent’s for the holidays, and we need everything done by then.

Since we’re leaving, we need to get the cats boarded, and also show her dad how to take care of our millions of fish, so that they don’t starve/eat each other while we’re gone. That also means we need to clean the house up pretty good, but oh noes! Our water stopped working last night and won’t be on till noon today….. at soonest! That put a damper on cleaning… and cooking.

Anyways, the holidays are almost here and I’m sure once it’s over I’ll feel much more relaxed! Feel free to comment on your own holiday rush.



+ Blue Saturday! By Jason 03 September 2005 at 11:37 am 224 views No Comments

Well, I finished the entire bottle of dye, and here is the final result:

Not bad, eh? I bet you wish you could have hair that looked this awesome. :cool: Anyways, time to go do my stuff for today. I shall be installing Free-DOS on my spare machine and setting up a KVM so that Jess can use both her and the dos system from her desk. Oh, and then we’re going to a comedy show (it’s gonna be Keven Naughton… have you seen him? Is he good?). Be good everyone!
