I was just handed a 1.5% bonus, for doing my job. I can honestly say that is the largest bonus check I've ever held in my hands.

I ended up getting free tickets to last night's showing of Broadway in the Basin's The Addams Family. Charles Addams is rolling in his grave. The...

Congratulations! That's fucking AWESOME!

Oh yeah, food. Lunch was two Bodega batterless chile rellenos: Anaheim chiles, crushed tomatos, raisins, sour cream, roasted chicken, guac, and...

By the way, sent you a PM, Tasha.

Here in TX, you can't pick up the license until 72 hours before. Once you've said the magic words (you hafta say, even if in ASL, some version of "I...

I'd rather you deal with clients and office politics. I can handle outside agencies.

Raised in approximately 350 mi apart though. (Same state.)

Fury hath no hell... TCEQ denied our well study. Again. Because this sea slug of a reviewer can. The new boss gave me an impossible deadline while...

Let me rephrase that. 'Which "proper" English lacks'. Then again, very little except professional speeches and papers uses "proper" English...

Huh. I guess Texas is weird. It's assumed that if you marry, your name changes to your husband's, unless you fill out a form saying otherwise. ...

Redneck is acceptable. Rednecks are casual, not jackasses, and don't represent every negative white stereotype. A redneck can be any color.

EVERYONE down here has a giant, honking huge pickup that is so pristine that you know it's never seen mud or anything more than groceries in it's...

Get one of those bike trolleys (kinda like a stroller to attach to a bike) and strap it on to her for slightly less resistance? :)

If she goes barefoot a lot, less shoe is better. If not, get her a foot coffin. For barefoot, look at the Skeletoes. Still more structure than...

Not the vernacular I was raised with. "All y'all" is redundant and therefore redneck. Y'all is plural second person, which English lacks.

Food pr0n to follow: Lunch was salty fatty garlic sausage and summer sausage with crunchy orange carrot sticks and peels, tiny sweet cherry...

We never got a long enough storm without a light show for cleaning up that way. Light show was an automatic "get your ass inside NOW" signal. Out...

For my local Girl Scout chapter (well, the most local chapter), I saw them in HEB, walked up, and handed them a $20. When they asked what cookies I...

In West Texas, in order to eat seasonally, locally, and in respect to our climate, what I'd be eating wouldn't be much. Cacti, peppers, tomatoes,...

Thanks for trusting me on this project. Really. I'm glad to know you trust me so much as to try to take away half of it before it even gets to my...

I'd be enraged. Ypu've given them more leeway than I would have.

I figured it was meant to be a compliment, after the fact. I take things a bit too literally occasionally. Compliment away!

After I ran screaming from VLC, I realized that carb counts are not the answer. Eating what my body seems to know it needs is. I've reached the...

I'm telling you, I missed my calling. Well, not really, I prefer having to deal with the public as little as possible.

That's food porn? A brief rundown of the meat and veggies I've eaten? I guess I never really looked at it as anything other than keeping me going,...

Dinner was t-bone (deep sale), green beans, cuke, and tom.

Lunch was a variation on spinach tamagoyaki: egg, fish sauce, sriracha, garlic sausage, and spinach.

Not in show...
