Clone me

Eric — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 21:44:27 +0000

The past week has been extremely busy for me. After getting back from London this past weekend for phpBB’s Londonvasion I got slammed at work with lots of projects to work on. Not only am I dead tired from jet lag but work is wearing me out. I’m finally starting to recover. I have a couple items I’ve wanted to blog about but that will have to wait until I actually have some time. Can someone clone me? You can kill it when I’m done with it. I promise I won’t tell the cops that you killed me.

Blonde

I’m a blonde. Did you know that? My co-workers didn’t. One co-worker in particular—she’s short and blamed her lack of height as the reason she couldn’t see that my roots are pretty blonde. I think she’s just threatened by having another blonde in the office.

Four Words

I’ve uttered a total of four words today: it’s not Friday yet. It’s really all I can muster. I need my weekend.

Saving the Planet One Booger at a Time

I rode my bike to work today. I’d like to say I rode my bike in an effort to save the environment, but that would be a giant lie. And I am no liar.

I’m having the windows of my car tinted today. I’m tinting them for various reasons. Sure, tinted windows lower the temperature inside your car, but more importantly I can pick my nose in private. Plus chicks dig tint.

Riding my bike to the office felt great. The wind blowing through my freshly flat-ironed hair was thrilling. So thrilling I may just ride it again tomorrow. I’ll just be sure to pick my nose at home, before leaving the house.

Rant About Work

When giving me designs to code into HTML please make sure the file you give me is the completed, final, everything is in there. Look over it and make sure you didn’t miss anything. It is annoying, time consuming and a real PITA having to go back in and add something because you forgot. Especially when it is hours before the deadline the site is suppose to be completed. I’ve got way too much work to do and I can’t be going in and adding little bits and pieces here and there every half hour or so.

Thank you.

Crazy coworker

This crazy coworker of mine added my blog as an icon/short cut thingy to her iPhone. Stalker? I think so…

Just kidding Sarah.

I want to scream!!!

I’ve got 14 items on my list to do at work. Most of those aren’t small websites either but full blown ones. I’ve got account executive emailing and calling me all day long asking when it’s going to be done and giving me more crap to do. I want to scream.

Just found out there is a freelancer here going to help out and he’ll be working on a good number of my projects. Yay!

More boringness at work

Eric — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 20:21:49 +0000

I’m at work now. Got a little less than three hours to go and I have nothing to do. Worked maybe for about 1.5 hours this morning on some stuff but everything else is waiting on information. There aren’t any new projects for me to start either. I have worked on some personal projects though but I’m getting bored now. Heh.

Yesterday I looked at some apartments and I found one I like. I may move into it. I am going to think about it some more. Need to find out some more information about it and possibly do some more looking.

That’s about all that is new in my life. I want to take a nap.

Money Does Funny Things to People

Eric — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 03:19:59 +0000

You don’t know how many times I have heard this and yes it is true. Usually when I heard this it was in the sense that having lots of money corrupts you and makes you some rich snob or whatever. But money can have the opposite effect as well. You can be so scared of becoming rich and having it change you that you limit yourself.

I’ve heard of people getting offered jobs that pay them twice as much at a much more stable job that they won’t have to do as much work but they turn it down. I’m sure there are lots of reasons for this but one person I heard this about I think a big part has to do with money. He has five young kids and barely makes ends meet. If he was making twice the amount he is now he could be living a lot more comfortably and not have to worry about money. He is one person that told me all the time that money does funny things to people and they want more blah blah blah. I honestly believe he is so scared of making more money and that it will change him so much to the point that he won’t further his career. It’s sad.

Bored

Eric — Wed, 03 Oct 2007 19:44:41 +0000

Here I sit at work with nothing to do wondering where my manager is so I can ask him if there is anything that needs to be done or if I can go home which I have been doing since about 10:30 this morning and it is now almost 2:00.

Yay for run on sentences.
