Digital Cable fixed

The digital cable has been out for about a week. Limiting my mother to VHS tapes and a few basic channels. I had to find and hook up the TV’s old antenna so she could get the basic local TV stations in clear. Well, somewhat clear. Our cable company has recently changed to Comcast (from [...]

Mr. Lawson spams me again

I’m getting that stupid ass junk mail again from that Lawson guy again. [ reference: 15 February 2003 ] This time is was one of those where they want it forwarded to others: junk chain mail spam. Once again it was sent to a group of people. Other Lawson’s, Little’s, Smith’s, Stevens’, Taylor’s, Abraham’s, Anthony’s, [...]

Do I really need an attitude adjustment?

I’m really getting annoyed at SPAM mail. I keep getting a few e-mails that are usually showing up as if I sent them or something. I comes back to my mailbox as undeliverable. Some Harry Potter junk addressed “To” or “From” the Miller Family. I don’t know any Millers. I heard of a Dennis Miller, [...]

Postal Mishap

I was expecting 2 music CDs from Barnes & Noble.com. Since no one was home Saturday, wouldn’t you know it that’s the day the USPS decides to deliver it. I noticed a phone call on the Caller ID placed from the downstairs intercom at the time the mailman is usually stuffing the mailboxes. Today the [...]

Frustration: Part 2

I don’t know why I even bother any more. I did some research online about appealing my rejection letter for unemployment compensation. I doubt that there is any chance I could ever win the court hearing. I quite because of work conditions and the way business was handled there. All the Referee will see is [...]

Frustration

Made some calls today. Looks like Adecco can’t answer any of my questions about unemployment and they told me to call the local unemployment center. I called them up to ask them about the “did not exhaust all alternatives” in the letter they sent me. She basically had no idea and told me to just [...]

Crap

I filed for Unemployment Compensation earlier this month. I got the information a few weeks ago and was about to make my first claim in about a week or so. Today I got a letter “Notice of Determination”. I am now ineligible for any benefits? Apparently from their Findings of Fact #5: “The Claimant did [...]

Yawn. I’m swweeepy; been up all night

Been up all night on my computer. Online and offline. While online, I searched for an alternative to listen to music since DMX Music Playground switched from Dance section to Hottest Hits on their online player and Spinner a.k.a. Radio@Netscape Plus is on the fritz. I found a suitable substitution in Winamp 2 with a [...]

Boring blah day

Sometimes things just get really boring. I tried some more experimenting with CityDesk software and enhanced a Lotus Approach database I created for storing info, creating invoices and labels for my online auctions. I went online to check my e-mail, I figured that I could listen to a bit of music to fight some boredom [...]

Incense Revisited & Blog Talk

I still have my Strawberry incense from before. I decided to give it another chance. Not really that bad once its gotten started. Or maybe I’m just finally getting use to it. “If your friends jumped off a bridge, would you?” I’m sure we’ve all here this old saying before. There’s a recent conversational twist: [...]
