Ever have one of those days?

Mine seemed to last two weeks. And the fun part is, it ain't ending anytime soon. The main culprit: work (of course). A whole crap-load of stuff seemed to be dumped down on me at one time.

We have a new co-worker. She's been with us for a little over a month now. It's a daunting task to come in brand new and learn the process we have to do our job. To start her off, they had her working with my other co-worker on a pretty big project. Then it was my turn. The past week or so, I've been kinda training-by-fire, since we had a number of projects come down at one time.

Like I said, it's quite a task for a newbie, but things worked out just fine. The thought process is a bit more difficult than the actual coding, but it does come around after some repetition.

Speaking of, check out the pages here and here. She did most of the setup on the first one, the other one is from a little while back.

And there are more to come. Including one doozy that I'll be trumpeting my praises for once it comes out and works. (note the confidence, yet why do I feel doomed?)

Been needing to get off my lazy duff and finish cleaning up around the house. Still have items spread out all over after all the floor-laying, repainting, general house work lately. I think the parents are coming down here next weekend, so that should light a fire under my arse.

Ever been so broke you rejoiced like never before on days when you were fed by others? The awesome MississippiMoms.com Mom Squad had their monthly meeting today. That means leftovers. Today was Chik-fil-A and there were leftovers a'plenty. Woohoo! That's one less meal to pay for and/or prepare.

Yeah, almost that broke. Though I am in decent enough shape until payday next week. That just means that I have to wait to see The Dark Knight and buy the new NCAA '09 video game.

Two video clips

Saw a link to an animated gif about a guy (read: douche) getting revenge on his girl (read: hott) for something she did to him. Was able to find video of both instances.

I think this one was first:



Then this one was made:



I would trade places with that douche.

How not to cook well

It's simple. If you want to make a mess in the kitchen and make so-so food, just come watch me in action. Ok, I'll admit that the chicken tenders aren't perfect, but so far, I haven't died. So that has to coua vmjlskrdv c

Did it work? Did you think I might have croaked? No. Yeah, that was lame.

Anyway, the cooking spree shall go on. Today, chicken tenders. Tomorrow ... something. Maybe. I do know one of my next attempts though: pie crust. Then, Butterfinger Pie.

Next weekend, it'll be attempt #2 on the Good Eats rib recipe. Ooh, I need to make more deer jerky as well. You know, I haven't tried my attempt at potato salad yet. Then there's the wild idea of trying to make slaw.

Excuse me. I have some shows to watch.

Goofing off online just now, I came across a few links from news stories around the world. Enjoy.
