Last day in marketing
Category: work

Yesterday was the last day of my contract in marketing. I start in clinical IT next Wednesday. I'm so bummed that I won't be on the same team as (e:Paul) anymore - working with him has been the best job I've ever had. Even the 2am nights, sorry (e:terry).

It's still exciting to start a full time job and work on new projects. Gonna try and take IT by storm and learn as fast as I did in marketing. And maybe we'll work together again one day.

Good luck with the new beginning!

So sad we can't work together anymore. We were such an amazing team, it's seems so short sighted the way it ended.

Broken screen
Category: computer

Tonight I accidentally left my computer on the floor while I cooked a stir fry for dinner, and (e:terry) also accidentally stepped on it. :( The patterns in the cracked panel make for some kind of crazy artwork.

I was going to program, but now I feel so thrown off. Is it weird that I empathize with an old Dell?

At least the new LCD panel is only $70, and should be here by Saturday. An old low res external monitor works until then. Still sucks.

Wow.

Doubletree Cafe
Category: food

(e:paul) and I met up with (e:terry) for lunch at the cafe inside the Doubletree hotel. It's right next door to the building we work in.

The waitress was super nice. I got a hummus wrap, and lentil soup. The wrap was good, the soup was alright. Paul and I split an order of mozzarella sticks that were terribly amazing.

Strange wallpaper - it was covered in letters and just said "words" and"letters".

Wow - our paths must have crossed then and we never knew! :)

(e:tinypliny) I was there from 2009 to 2011. I typically worked nights but i also worked lunch sometimes. they were very different so i may not have been pleasant during the lunch shift.

tinypliny - 11/18/14 00:37
Really, were you there from 2007-2011?

Robert - 11/18/14 00:19
I used to work there!

tinypliny - 11/13/14 23:09
I used to like that cafe A LOT. Compared with the RPCI cafe its waaaay better. But it blew a hole into my budget so I didn't go there too often. The BGH cafe is also better than the RPCI cafe. Hell, all cafes are better than the RPCI cafe.

Trinity Tower lights
Category: linwood

Trinity Towers installed new lights on their buildings when they were doing work last month. They're so bright, even without the porch light its almost day outside. I wonder if this is against code. I want to contact them about it, and if they don't respond I'll ask the city.

Maybe the seniors feel safer with bright lights. Personally, being a small person, lights always made a difference in walking at night. There was a section on Summer which was always dark and that was where I was nearly mugged once.

That is so obnoxious. I would think that there would be restrictions on that, especially on your street.

Another graveyard ride
Category: bikes

(e:yesthatcasey), (e:paul), (e:steve) and I took advantage of the warm day to ride around the cemetery. There was a lot of picture taking and meta-picture taken of that picture taking.

Afterwards we rode up through the park, through North Buffalo to walk Midnight. I don't think he expected to see four people there for him.
