Mea culpa
Jane Ullah @ May 14, 2008 # No Comment Yet
Finally, I can breathe. I’m currently at the lab, but I’m unofficially working over so I don’t think the bosses will be too upset about grabbing some internet time that’s not on the company dime this time. Work’s been going okay. We’re in a sort of lull and I’m sure things will soon turn crazy. [...]

Good times

This goes out to M: keep your head up, old man. M’kay? Here’s to me also: keep swimming. Things are settling nicely in the apartment. I keep saying house, but it feels inappropriate because it’s not our ‘house’ Still, I am comfortable enough to call it my home. We had some scares i.e. we [...]

Where do I begin?
Jane Ullah @ April 11, 2008 # One Comment
I’d say things are going pretty well. Lemme see, we’ve moved semi-seamlessly into our neat apartment. After 10 days of gnawing on my nails, we’re finally receiving mail at our new address. My in-laws have been absolutely phenomenal about hunting down sweet deals on little items for the apartment that made it possible for us [...]

Just some thoughts
Jane Ullah @ February 29, 2008 # No Comment Yet
I’m sure you remember (or not) that I had a brief impromptu meeting with my boss. Well, it was very interesting. I am reticent about 80% of the time and that makes me be perceived as "still waters". Actually, his words were he "doesn’t have any idea what my plans are" and it was in [...]

Wendy’s yogurt with granola is no more
Jane Ullah @ February 24, 2008 # 2 Comments
Can it be true?!!! Earlier this week, M and I stopped by my favorite fast food restaurant (Wendy’s) for my staple food items which includes their $1.09 yogurt with granola. To my shock, they informed us that they had stopped carrying the yogurt. Apparently, they had phased it out and only just ran out of [...]

When it rains…
Jane Ullah @ February 14, 2008 # No Comment Yet
It pours and then, glorious sunshine some through. I’m referring to troubles as the rain and the good as sunshine. On Monday, M & I set out for my place of work. We were trundling merrily along the loop or highway when M’s car suddenly stalled and stopped. He couldn’t accelerate and we were [...]

Update

I just spent the better part of an hour staring at my screen and pondering on what to write. After a while, I called up the parents (after they’d called me. :D) and we had a nice little chat. They’ve implanted a thought into my brain that will not go away. I mean, the possibility [...]

Painfully slow
Jane Ullah @ January 30, 2008 # No Comment Yet
The computer’s specs at the lab are anemic. For hard drive space, it has a whopping 10GBs. Memory (RAM) is an anemic 256MB thus ensuring I can only have 2 windows (one for Internet Explorer and the other for Windows Explorer for file browsing). It is both good and bad that this is so. [...]

Feeling prolific

Happy MLK day to everyone! I’m at work as I knew I would be. I felt a bit guilty at not going in over the weekend. Still, I think it wasn’t a bad thing to lay off working all weekends all the time. The good part about working on holidays though is the laid back atmosphere. [...]

Is it me or do software upgrades serve to punish?
Jane Ullah @ December 20, 2007 # No Comment Yet
Punish whom you might ask? Glad you did. It is my personal opinion that they serve to punish you a.k.a. me. How? Let me start from the beginning. I have been a longtime user of Nero 7. I ponied up the dough which was about $60 for the program. Well, Nero 8 has come out [...]
