The Porkchop and I left my parent's home Friday evening at 9PM. We got home yesterday at 5:30PM.
What, you ask, could have caused us to travel for twenty hours?
Having our second flight cancelled, and being stuck at Dulles International Airport (in D.C.) for SEVEN AND A HALF HOURS.
We crashed when ...

I just found twisted pleasure condoms and lubricant in my parent's bedroom.
I cannot describe the sheer horror I am feeling right now.
Must. go. die.

So let's see....
a) the Porkchop is well-liked by the family (surprise, surprise).
b) the family is driving me crazy (again, surprise, surprise).
c) the laptop has crapped out (possibly for the final time, as I cannot get power to it, due to some sort of short in the computer) and will ...

I have two problems with her: one, she's so FREAKING loud and two, she takes tons of ...

"You're driving me insane and I will NEVER give you a URL of a site I'm working on again. Seriously."
"No, I'm not kidding, a two-drink maximum? How is that a party?"
"If you don't quit poking around on the site, I'm going to block your IP address permanently."
"Would it help if ...

One of the owners, the one who I mainly work for, is out sick today and won't be coming to the Christmas party.
Two of the sales people are out sick as well.
And Mickey, the guy who sits up here with me, hasn't shown up today at all.
Tomorrow, two-thirds of the ...

Nine purses, two wallets, two pairs of sunglasses and one completely dead Porkchop... that is what I accomplished this morning on Canal Street.
We walked the 40 or so blocks down, but cabbed back. Which was necessary, but kinda sad since the cab drove by a restaurant called "Burgers and Cupcakes," ...

I like CNet. It's entertaining, smart and I love how readers can comment on stories.

Fun things at work:
Hearing I'm going to need to spend way too much money on programming customization, yet knowing my boss will want it anyway, for less. (And hearing... But.. uh.. why can't YOU just do it?)
Working on a computer in a room that's around 60 FUCKING degrees. (My hands ...

The Chop and I got a Christmas tree yesterday.
It's kinda short, but perfect for the size of our apartment.
Sadly, it's also a little bare, as somehow I forgot I have very little ornaments... eight, to be exact (and one is a glass octopus with two legs broken off).
See, last year ...
