In the months leading up to the summer of 1999, all I cared about was Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. In May I left my sophmore year behind me. I had roomed with Charlie Allen and joined the Alpha Tau social club. I listened to Cake's 'Prolonging the Magic' a lot. The N64 was still relevant since 'Zelda - Ocarnia of Time' had come out the ...

Ok, this blog has been stuck on bad news for too long. I'm officially taking the reins. Things aren't SO bad. Josh being laid off means we have been cooking a bit more at home, and that has actually been nice. I think we've had spaghetti at least three times in the last week, but the good thing is, I like spaghetti! We also had breaded chicken at ...

Today I reached for a pen to fill out my exit interview. There weren't any. I went to the supply closet, grabbed three pens as I usually do. Realized on way back to my desk that three was overkill. Three would mean one fresh pen for each remaining day I have here. One for each day in which I'm employed. On Thursday ...

We came to Texas in April of 2005. I took a job with the Dallas Cowboys, which was a backwards career move but a way to get out of Arkansas. Just as going to Harding was probably a mistake but I met Heather, going to work for Jerry TV was a mistake except for the fact that it brought us to Dallas and to all our ...

Remember this guy? He has some new gems. It's only been since July that we found out about 'helments'. Two other times we've seen this guy write the word, whether it be on boxes (containing helmets) or on tapes (pertaining to footage shot featuring helmets). We always assumed he meant helmet, but had to check the dictionary just to make sure in case 'helment' ...

Yesterday I arrived at work at 7:15am. On a Thursday. Today is Friday, 2:24pm. I am still here! How did this happen? I don't know! I thought I was on track to finish my end of week deadline show like normal. (By the way, normal is coming in at 6am on Friday mornings and scrambling to finish before having to be finished by ...

I'm sitting in a nice restaurant for lunch with my current set of co-workers, about four other people. We've been waiting a while for our food, and the boss is asking for a second bowl of $12 spinach artichoke dip. In my mind, I'm calculating how much more my tab is going up with this second appetizer. There might be a pained look on my face. Then the ...
