Aboot
Swashbuckling, Atlanta-area, Technology Program Manager. I brew beer, play drums, run a little bit, and try not to under-achieve. I have people skills.
Cluttercide!
So, Paul2k, Benyenyen and I trekked far into the woods on Saturday, burned a bunch of stuff, ate a phallic meat dinner, and made fun of each other for about twelve hours straight. The Geester\’s uncle has a bunch land outside of Ellijay and he was nice enough to let use use it, so we [...]

My quiver of entertaining arrows is stuffed full and I hope to begin shooting them into the hay bale of your web browser post haste. There has been a bathroom redecoration completed, a Georgia/Florida game endured, a Chili Cookoff lost, a lawn aerator rented, a Boubon-aged Imperial Stout bottled, and the components of a Mash [...]

It became fairly obvious last night that I am bad luck for the trivia team. Without me for the past few weeks they\’ve done remarkably well. Despite me contributing a couple correct answers last night (CUBA!!1!), we fell like Tim G in the driveway after drinking Guinness from his boot. And even though the San [...]
Read More...The Tweener – Conclusion
Nothing like starting a new job to make you think like you have no control of anything going on around you. Not that the job is all that hectic. In fact, the actual work has started quite slowly. my managers have been very forthcoming about the fact that there will be a long learning curve, [...]

Sorry for the hiatus. I am at war with my house and I didn\’t want to get plaster dust and/or blood in the new laptop. Here\’s a taste:

I\’ve discovered that, leading a life away from a cubicle, and, subsequently, away from the teat of connectivity, is not very conducive to regular blog updates. I predicted that several days with no job would lead to monumental creative productivity. Alas, as my head has hit the pillow the past couple nights, and I\’ve taken [...]

The day the Duke left for the Gulf Coast, he stopped by first to borrow my camper top. We have ideantical pickup trucks (how fucking cute, right?), so he can use my camper, no problemo. A hickory tree recently fell in one of his neighbor\’s yards, and since I\’m the firewood dork, he brought me [...]

For the first time since high school, I am going to the doctor to help stem this here poison ivy infection. The miracle soap has worked well for me for the past couple years, but this time around, I have somehow managed to really \”put my wang in the hornets\’ nest,\” as they say. The [...]

Since I\’m sure you\’re all chomping at the bit for an update, I\’ll toss you a few scraps about my lawn. The turf has mostly recovered from the close call last month, but a large weed contingent has taken full advantage of the grass\’ weakened condition. And after my chemical misstep, I\’ve become too chicken-shit [...]

Somehow my birthday managed to last for three days and I still didn\’t get no stinking pony. I did, however receive several gifts of beyonder awesomeness, so I am willing to drop the pony thing … for the time being. On Friday night, there was much drinking and yelling and grilling at Tall Brown. There [...]
