Birthday, and Updates.

OK, so birthday went well. Jenn had to leave a little early to get to work on time, and waiter was far below what I believe to be Genji standards, but still all went well. Afterward I just came home and relaxed. When Scott come back in town, me and him will need to go sit at the sushi bar and just order whatever. BTW, spider rolls are good.

I have made some small site updates. There is now a links section toward the bottom of the sidebar. I only have 2, but it’s something. If a link to your blog is there and you would rather it not be, let me know.

Also, I changed the style sheet so that it allows for printing. I had no idea, but if you tried to print it would totally strip the style sheet. Now, it keeps all the styling, but removes the header, footer, and sidebar and sets the content area to 6.5 inches wide to properly fit on a piece of paper. No need to click a special “print friendly” button or anything like that, it just works. Go ahead, choose print preview and check it out.

Next is a new poll. in going through the old comments, a few have no name and I do not recognize the IP address. There were some that were unnamed that I could find an author for, but there are about 5 that I could not, the poll regards those.

Finally, I was down to $1.09 in my NFSN account, which means I went a full year with the site for just about $4.00 in total hosting fees. Compared to when I had .Mac for $99 a year, I am very happy. I added some more funds to my account, even though that last dollar would have lasted me about 3 months.

I think that is all. More when I have it.

Happy Birthday to Me!

Go Nick, It’s your birthday, we gonna party like it’s your birthday.

Yes, today I am 24. I go to work from 12 to 5, then it is off to Genji to celebrate. I am up to 8 yes and 1 maybe, and there are 8 seats at each grill, so it will be interesting to see what happens.

Also, this is #403, so that first post back on the 5th, was #400. Just so you know.

OK, thats all.

Labor Day Weekend

Labor Day, Birthday, and blog.

Labor Day weekend was, well, uneventful. I made Jenn cornish hen and rice with capeze salad on Thursday, she made me crabcake burgers on Friday, we went to Outback on Saturday, she made tacos on Sunday, and I made my mom bbq chicken breast yesterday. It was all quite good.

I am back to work today, and back to school tomorrow.

Friday Leticia, Matt, Kyle, Jenn and I are going to Genji for my birthday along with anyone else who wants to show up. We were talking at work and decided it would be fun to go, so I sent out an email for anyone else who would like to come to email me ASAP. That was Friday, and I have heard nothing yet. I want to know in time to make reservations, and though it was a holiday weekend, most of us are rather geeky and have nothing better to do than check our email accounts.

This past Friday, the current blog turned 1, as well as being 3 years since I left blogger, which is still serving up those first posts.

OK, that is all.

One Week

School and Soup.

So, the first week is nearly over. I have work tomorrow, then am off until work Tuesday, then work and class Wednesday.

None of my classes seem like they will be too much of a problem. Business and Psychology will certainly have work involved, and Blueprint Reading seems like a bit of a bore. Fluid Power seems like it will be fun.

So, thats my week. I went to school, and work, and that was about it for 3 days.

As a closing note, there are 216 noodles in every can of Campbell’s Chicken noodle. Really, the computer makes sure of it. Go ahead and count if you like, I will just believe the stat.

School

School, Sick, Taco Ball, and Wet.

Summer is over, I must return to school.

For the first time in several years, I am honestly a little afraid. I am not sure if because it is my last year of Delta, my Business class, or my Psychology class, but I am.

I am feeling 80% better from sickness. I still cough up various things, but am mostly better.

I was looking for what restaurants give you stuff for your birthday, and found out Taco Bell gives you a free combo meal. I had no idea. Anyone heard of this? I did some searching to verify, but came up with duplicates of the same page.

Not a whole lot has happened otherwise. Was sick, didn’t do much, slept a lot, went to work, slept more, and that has been it.

Oh, Jenn and I were driving down Wilder, and it was raining like all hell yesterday, like an inch in 2 hours. So suddenly, her windshield wipers stop working, and we can barely see. Luckily, the road was nearly flooded so we were only going about 25 mph. So I get the great idea to open the window and reach out to see if its maybe stuck. As I do this, a truck decides we are all pansies and comes flying down the outside lane that is flooded with like 6″ of water going 40 mph…

Remember that part about my window being down?

We were wet.

k, thats all

Sick

Sick, Comments, Shirt, and School.

So, for the 3rd year in a row as recorded by the blog, I am sick in late August. I really wish I knew what it was, and if there was a way to stop it, but I don’t.

I have 39 of the 154 comments up now. I am slowly making it.

No, I don’t actually want that shirt for my birthday. Yes, it’s cool, but there are more practical gifts that could be gotten. Besides, would be cooler if I went down there to see the balls and get shirt myself.

I can’t believe school starts on Monday. That sucks so much its not funny.

Ok, thats all I have in me right now.

Comments

Comments, Fall, and Poll.

I have rescued all the comments from the old blog, all 158 of them. The problem now is reformatting and importing them all into wordpress, which is going a bit slow. It will, eventually, happen though.

We got our fall work schedule at the staff meeting yesterday, though I don’t really remember it. I will receive a copy to keep sometime this week I presume. I know is Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday morning, and some point Friday, but that’s as close as I remember.

Jenn and I were going to go camping this weekend, but decided are too poor. Maybe in a few weeks.

I posted a new poll last time, and yet only me and Jenn voted. How pathetic.

OK, thats all.
