thank you uncle sam. with half of my tax refund, i’ve purchased a ‘professional’ photo quality printer. its friggin’ awesome! well, to be honest, i haven’t had much of a chance to play with it, but hopefully this week.

the thing is huge. much bigger than i thought it would be.

after work and a meeting friday night, i decided, for some silly reason, that i wanted to set it up. i didn’t know what i was getting into and after three hours of cleaning, arranging and rearranging, midnight passed and i finally got the damn thing up and running.

admittedly, i didn’t use my desk much before, but now because the printer takes up so much space, that i have barely any room to actually work at my desk. there’s just enough room to place my laptop. its a bit annoying and will take some getting used, but i’m definitely excited. once i buy some photo paper i’ll be all set to begin learning how the thing works (its going to be much more complicated than i originially thought). and then, i will begin be able to spending time on a hobby long neglected: photography.

i can’t wait.

for better or worse, i’ve come to enjoy posting to this blog. i like it more as my readership grows (ever so slowly). and i think i can take pride in the fact that there’s very little i’ve not been willing to post here. that’s right, i’ve been an open book, more or less.

but now i’m in a situation where i really would like to write about something that’s happening currently, but it is generally accepted by those i’ve polled that it wouldn’t necessarily be a good idea….

dammit! it was so much simpler when i could be assured no one was reading this….

(if you ask, i might tell you, but probably not. sorry)

hurray!!

today was my last day with the evil, stupid, dastardly insurance agency. as i’ve said previously, the agency i worked for was sold to monarch insurance at the beginning of the year and as bad as the bank was, monarch was SO much worse.

perhaps sadly, the course of my life can be charted by the extended list of girls for whom my brain has exhausted unmeasured processing time (computer lingo). and so the trend continues….

Waiting for a dinner meeting at on on chinese restaurant….
