First Sheetz trip of the year. And it was truly a random order. The receipt printed before I even knew what I had.

So far the one-plate-one-bowl policy is going strong. Maybe it really will be a healthy summer.

What the heck Dickinson; why would you block SMTP ports? People use those all the time!

Finally figured out how I'll get back from Alaska in a few weeks.

New sport: puzzle throwing. Today I successfully threw a puzzle from upstairs over the balcony to downstairs without any pieces falling out.

Finally taking a day off.

It's been one week without a thought. Not a good sign. Biggest news of the last week is that I'm now versed in managing and installing security cameras.

Wow, that was a lot of food. Especially for an Easter party.

Today's awesome trick is pdfunite. link

Turbo Tax Sucks. It was advertised as free, and then they charged me at the end. Screw that. And screw our tax system for being complicated enough to allow that to happen.

Made it to Anchorage. One day of training down. Maybe being manager will be a cook new experience.

I guess I'm going to Alaska tomorrow instead.

I feel bad for whoever plays clue against me next.

One week left until winter break!

I found this gem while stalking around George's vimeo the other day. I had totally forgotten about it.

big version

I can't believe how many people actually like Cheeze Its better than Cheese Nips. They're all crazy.

In the spirit of keeping my personal data private, I've also deleted my snapchat acocunt. Now if only I could somehow find all the hundreds of acocunts I have at various services around the web.

I've been listening to serial and love it. But now I'm constantly paranoid about remembering what I'm doing at all times in case I'm ever on trial.
