Fruit vs Not Fruit

Friday, January 16th 2009

Through the service that I order groceries through online, they have a 'suggestions' feature. Last week, one of their fruit suggestions was for a package of Cherries. Which, I bought, because they sounded good. These were just regular cherries, not bing cherries, so they were sweet.

Last night, they sounded good again, so I stopped by the expensive grocery store, and they had them. It was basically $6 for 3/4 lb of them.

Which, made me think. I usually buy grapes, even this time of t...

Bleh

Thursday, January 15th 2009

Been kind of bleh lately. Dunno what's going on. I think I've been watching too much M*A*S*H. I've been watching all of the episodes, beginning of the series to the end. I'm about 3/4 through season 7 right now. Only 5 (or 6) seasons to go!

One thing that I find interesting about watching old shows is how they do now-taboo things. Like in the Andy Griffiths show, one of the characters was the town drunk. Who was just a 'silly' character. Whereas now, alcoholism is generally treated much mo...

Pitta.

Monday, January 12th 2009

Over the past month or so we've had issues with enough servers at work that it's becoming an issue. While mostly it's just been bad luck, it also has shown that some of the areas that we should be better at - we haven't been so great at. We have a fair amount of systems that are available, and do their jobs without any problems. But, we don't touch them for a really long time, and then something happens, and we discover that backups hadn't been set up correctly, or never set up. So, we sort of g...

Arrrr, it be Saturday

Saturday, January 10th 2009

Last night was kind of bleh. We went to a BBQ place my boss likes, their BBQ is ok, but I've had better. Probably even in the City. Last night, the waiter wasn't exactly rude, but pretty short with us. And really slow. Kind of annoying. I didn't do too badly overall, I got 1/2 and 1/2 lean brisket with mashed potatoes and i ordered a side of collard greens. The bigger problem was that we didn't eat until much later than I'm used to, so I was starving, so I ended up eating more when I got home. I...

Whee. It Be Friday

Friday, January 9th 2009

It's Friday, at least.

For some reason, yesterday, when I ordered groceries, I had them set up to be delivered from 7-9am tomorrow. This morning, I woke up and decided that that was crazytalk. So, I moved it from 9-11, instead. That way I can sleep a bit more before they come.

Tired today, though. I took a nap after work yesterday and probably shouldn't have. Stayed up later than usual because of that, but my sleep's been all wonky anyways.

Weighed 6lbs less than yesterday, though...
