Quick, Helen, get the kids out of the pool! Adult Swim Games

2009-04-02T23:57:00+00:00

There's nothing quite like the thrill of a stolen moment when I can put aside my real work (read "job that pays") and play a quick online game. And I do mean quick: something on the order of between sprints to the cafeteria to grab a quick salad and ...

Brilliance lost yet again.

I could swear I saved a draft. Oh well. I posted a brilliant post yesterday and it disappeared, never to be retrieved. Maybe I just needed to get something off my chest and it didn't really need to be seen by the general populace. It was good, though. I am pregnant ...

Oy vey! It's been so long since I have had time to write, or catch up with my friends on Motime. Working two jobs sucks the big one. For posterity's sake and so I have a record of my brilliance to show potential employers, I am going to re-post some ...
