Inexcusable excuse

I was walking through the testing room and noticed an empty computer with a test running. Usually when someone’s on break there’s a special break screen that shows up. Either this person took an unscheduled break (which is okay), or they’re late back from their break. I moved in closer to investigate.
I checked the computer [...]

Little red spots

I think I’m allergic to something.
For the last couple weeks I’ve noticed an increase of little red spots on my face. They’re not even bumps (well, maybe just barely a bump), and it seems like they’re just under the surface of my skin. I’ve kept my hands off my face as much as possible, thinking [...]

The green monster

There’s a little green monster inside of me that’s poised to tear down the things that are good in life.
For years it thrived and uglied up my peaceful world until the time when I thought I had it beat. Everything was smooth and easy then.
But I’m realizing now that the little monster wasn’t gone. There [...]

The evils of mercy

“Do you have your ID?”
“Well, I have …”
Right away I know there’s going to be trouble. Without another word I know she probably doesn’t have her ID … or it’s expired.
You may have every other document there could be to prove your identity, but it’s no good. You may look like the person on your [...]

What’s wrong?

Back in High School I went through a period of time when there was a lot on my mind. Not many things, but mostly a couple of things that seemed very large at the time.
I learned a trick back then that proved to be very useful. Normally I’d be prone to stare of in the [...]

The rise of the iPod

So, I was walking down the sidewalk of the Shops at La Cantera on this misty February afternoon going with Jessica to look for some new shoes for her. We kinda missed our turn-off (twice) to go do some other stuff … so it was shopping by default.
I had totally forgotten about this Apple Store, [...]

San Antonio Stock Show

The San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo also has a Stock Show portion to go along with the Rodeo (hence the name). I wasn’t able to see much when I went to the Rodeo, but I went back to see what I could see. It was cold that day … and we almost didn’t go, [...]

Trailer Trouble

When Eric and I drove here to Texas we towed a trailer with us. That trailer was a source of frustration and now it looks like it has caused a bit more trouble.
After we unloaded our stuff into the office building we tucked the trailer into a nice, out-of-the-way spot in the back parking lot. [...]

Pies

Only in Texas… I tell you, these people love their state.

Fully equiped

Come on now … seriously. Tell me you didn’t see this coming.

Yeah, my ligit copy of Photoshop CS2 arrived yesterday. It’s the educational version though, so … I don’t know, it was cheaper. I was going to spring for the whole Creative Suite plus Web Design bundle … but then I realized … “Oh wait, [...]
