How’d I Wind Up with the damn Van?
You might remember I said yesterday that I’d be driving the department’s Ford Expedition this week. Well, I got screwed out of that deal this morning. One of our guys from our Mississippi office decided he couldn’t make it to his job site this week, so we’re sending two guys from our office [...]
Sillyness at the Office
I’m working in town again this week and that means I get to drive a company vehicle. Our department has a bunch of two-seater cargo vans and one Ford Expedition. Well, guess which one I claimed?

I’m going to Hawaii! Yay! Yay! I’m going to Hawaii!
Maybe this new job won’t be so bad after all… my first long distance travel assignment upon my return from vacation is to go to Hawaii for up to two weeks (depending on which customers confirm)…. boy is that so not going to suck. I’ve never been to Hawaii. I’ll make sure I [...]
Merry Christmas to me?
