Another Co-worker Starts a Blog

Another co-worker from the soon to be closed Remote Encoding Center has started a blog.  It’s called Another Bandwagon, and at the moment seems to be focusing on knitting, of all things.  So all you millions obsessively checking for new posts from me should rush right over there and give it a read!  I’ve added [...]

Job Update #623

Monday I did a new route which included a few businesses on McHenry up front.  It went alright, though I took too long and needed a few other carriers to help me out at the end.  The supervisors gave me yesterday off, which was nice.  It would be even nicer if they could tell me [...]

Lunch with Friends

A group of (mostly) former Modesto REC employees met for lunch on Sunday to catch up on how everyone is doing and how their new jobs are working out. And someone hatched the idea of going to an indoor skydiving center, called in iFly, in Union City. (That link features a video of [...]

More on D300

Ken Rockwell has a review of the newly announced Nikon D300 DSLR up.  He doesn’t say that he got to physically handle a prerelease model, so I think he’s giving his best educated guesses based on the specs and his knowledge of previous Nikon models.  He thinks it’s only marginally better than the D200 as [...]

New Nikon DSLRs Announced

Nikon has announced two new Digital SLR cameras.  The D300 and the top of the line D3.  I only just skimmed the press release for the D300, which will be the new top line “prosumer” DSLR, supplanting the D200.  I’ve wanted the D200 but put it off.  The D200 is 10 MP, while the new [...]

Job Update #591

So yesterday late afternoon, one of the supervisors at the main office, which is my “home base,” called me on my cell phone to tell me to come in at 9:30 a.m., like I wrote yesterday.  Well, this morning, just before 8 a.m., the other supervisor there called me to ask where I was, since [...]

Ioz Makes Me Laugh

Ioz made a funny and I laughed out loud:
An article in the Post asks if the War on Drugs has undermined the War on Terror. This question seems to me to be as fully engaged with reality as the question of whether or not a man who has self-amputated both arms with a band saw [...]

A Post Having Nothing to Do with Work — I need more living space.

I’d like to get a bigger place to live.  Right now I’m living in a one bedroom condo, which I’ll have paid off in a little over 6 years if I pay $200 extra each month.  That will be cool, but the place is too small.  My main concern when I was in the market [...]

New Job Update #574

They sent me to the Paradise station today.  I got there early and asked what route I would be doing, so I could write the loops down on a worksheet I whipped up for that purpose.  And so I did so and the route looked pretty straight forward.  Then less than 5 minutes after clocking [...]
