Bummers of Pregnancy: Heartburn
Posted by E-George on May 15, 2008
I had no idea. Is this what people with Acid Reflux Disease endure daily? I’ve had distracting, crippling, miserable, awful, painful heartburn all day long. I guess I need to get a stash of heartburn aids for the office. It feels like Satan himself is belching fire up my esophageal passage. I bet I could [...]

It will all snap back…mostly

Mom: So, are you pretty dedicated to breastfeeding your baby?
Me: As dedicated as I can be to do something I’ve never done before.
Mom: It’s very rewarding and healthy, but a lot of times around the 6-week mark it’s very hard and you’ll want to give up.
Me: OK. I’ll keep that in mind.
Mom: Are you going [...]

You know it’s time to buy new pants when…

You try to unsuccessfully button them “low-rise” style, and mutter something about your hips being just slightly more wide below the hip bone.
You give up trying to button them “low-rise” style and create a closing spacer using a rubber band.
Even with the rubber-band spacer, you sit down and look eerily similar to a morel mushroom.
You [...]

Last I checked, it was February
Posted by E-George on February 21, 2008
So, what’s with all this blasted, wretched, dingy-dangy-hecktah-fooey SNOW doing on the ground? Well, in fairness, it’s melted now, but it was there this morning. Here’s how the story goes:
It’s 3:20am and I’m woken by a persistant nagging that I have now come to recognize as my 3rd nightly trip to the bathroom (more on [...]

An odd thing to feel sad about
Posted by E-George on February 18, 2008
This week is the 12th Annual Pink Elephant IT Service Management & Exhibition. Of all the work I was doing in my last job, getting to start with the ITIL program and dig into it, learning how it can benefit IT groups of all sizes and complexity was truly one of the most invigorating times. [...]

You used to take the rat out of its hole and you used to EAT IT!

6 more weeks of winter. 6. More. Weeks. …effin’ rat. That means it’s time to curl up on the couch with some hot tea and watch Groundhog Day. Excepting that I don’t have that one…. damn. Maybe Alien v. Predator will do instead.

I’m losing my mind
Posted by E-George on January 28, 2008
I was sitting on the couch watching The Hunt for Red October when a Pedigree dog chow commercial voiced over by David Duchovny comes on. It shows this loppie-eared little dog in the kennel and two people who come to look at him and then leave. David Duchovny says something like, “For every dog that [...]

Terrified
Posted by E-George on January 22, 2008
Today was the first day of class. My first class was ECE 101 and today’s subject was about some of the rules and standards for the School of Engineering. I learned something new today: ECE and the School of Engineering have a three-strikes policy.
It is as bad as it sounds. [...]

Not fair.
Posted by E-George on January 16, 2008
It’s not fair. Why do accidents happen? (Rhetorical question. I know why accidents happen.) Why do good people get inflicted with unspeakable awfulness? (Also rhetorical.) Why is it, when the awfulness comes, I grow mute? (Not so rhetorical. This has bothered me for years). I become incapable of [...]
