Angry Birds
My work at work is pretty awesome right now. I still have to deal with annoying weblogic configuration stuff, bleh, but I spend half the week working on JavaScript stuff which is awesome. I tried learning JavaScript like, um, ten years ago. It wasn’t quite as powerful back then. Now I have a reason and […]
Thanksgivings
My exciting work news? I am now a SENIOR Specialist Applications Developer. This means a little more money and no more filling out time sheets and forms for overtime pay. Of course that also means no more overtime, but the amount of money I made in overtime, not worth the trouble. Thanksgiving #2 was great. […]
Happy Thanksgiving!
I started this post on Monday, when it wasn’t thanksgiving, and I had a lame intro that no longer makes sense. So skipping ahead a bit … Emily and Helen held a pre-Thanksgiving feast on Saturday. We barely made a dent in all the food, but were completely stuffed by the end of the night. […]
Home :(
Home now. Woke up at 4am this morning to catch our Magical Express back to the airport X( On the bright side, sleeping through the flight made it go a whole lot quicker. We had another random character meeting when we weren’t expecting it. We saw the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland as […]
Fanny Pack
We’ve gotten some pretty good characters on this trip. Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party was awesome. Totally worth the price. Makes me sad we didn’t do the Halloween party a couple years back. We got the Seven Dwarfs which was pretty much the highlight of our lives so far, well, not quite, but it was […]
Disney!
I’m blogging from Disney World! Staying at Saratoga Springs this year because everything else was booked up :P So far, not so bad! The hotel room is a little different in that the toilet has its own room from the shower, the furniture is different and the fans in the bathroom turn on automagically as […]
Back to the Future!
That was the single greatest movie experience of my entire life. Julia and I were about an hour early, so we got great seats, though the theater has stadium seating, so there really aren’t any bad seats, but we were right in the middle. We were talking about Star Wars and Serenity and the guy […]
Field Trips!
And two days of free food this week, woo hoo! Monday I attended the Rutgers career fair. It wasn’t exactly crowded. I talked to maybe 20 students? Most were looking for internships. It was fun, but not really worth our time unfortunately. Tuesday I worked … a lot. Mostly fixing issues from deployment Saturday and […]
October
The car was OK. Just needed coolant, ’cause I’m silly like that. The rest of the week was more normal. Worked, sold some ice cream for United Way. Yesterday was our October deployment. Almost all of the domains went out throughout the day. I got on at 7am to create endpoints and was called on […]
The Subaru From Hell
My car was making funny noises again on Thursday and so I took it to the mechanic again on Friday. Completely unrelated to the knock sensor troubles I’ve been having, the car needed a new wheel bearing. $400. To fix the engine noise that triggering the knock sensor would be another $500. My mom tells […]
