#5: Vector Marketing

I am now an independent contractor for Vector Marketing, which is a company created exclusively to sell CUTCO Cutlery. Nice people, great bosses. and the most flexible work schedule: If I need a day off, I just don’t schedule anything that day. No more being required to close, no more mountain of paperwork to change my schedule or request days off. It’s quite nice, really.

#28 – A Cold Shower Isn't The Only Remedy

A cold shower is a well-known and proven method of killing excitement. However, a midnight stroll around the neighborhood works too. I even added something to that goal – I walked it barefoot. In fact, I was able to do a good deed – I broke up some teenagers TPing a house by impressing on them how illegal it was. I don’t think they’ll be doing it again anytime soon.

#92: The first shirt

Well, on Friday, I bought my first of 5 shirts off ThinkGeek: The “I don’t work here” shirt, for the complete benefit of myself.

Since I wear black or white shirts to work now, I figure I’ll be wearing this one to work quite a bit; however, I’ll also wear it everywhere else. Like when I go into another Target store, and people insist on asking me questions EVEN THOUGH I’M NOT IN RED AND KAHKI and ALL TEAM MEMBERS ON THE FLOOR WEAR READ AND KAHKI! *deep breath* Sorry, I get a little ticked off when I’m in a Target in shorts and a tshirt (not red) and people insist on asking me questions because I look like I know where I’m going. Yes, I do know where I’m going, lady, because every single store is laid out with the same items on each aisle; the trick is finding the aisle I’m looking for. It’s called a planogram. Deal with the fact that I’m not going to tell you where to find the most obscure item in the store because I don’t work here.

That was a good rant.

#29 – Organize'd!

It’s finally done!

I finished!

That’s right, all my media (PS2 games, CDs, and DVDs) are completely organized! Now, just need to keep adding things as I find them, and remembering to scan them into my organizer program. Oh, that reminds me: I need a GOOD organizer program. Y’know, something where I can just scan in the barcode on the item, and it fills in everything else for me (unless it’s something REALLY obscure, in which case I’ll still have to do some data entry…. grrrr…..). And oh yeah, it’s gotta be free. When I finally get that, I’ll mark the task as completed on the list.

If all goes as planned, that’ll be done tonight.

#48 – No Chiplotage for you!

I think I’m crazy.

I’ve been Chipotle-free since Wednesday (the 24th), and I know I’m a little more addicted than I thought I was because it’s getting hard to bear living without having a burrito. How sad is that? I’m that dependant on a burrito from a certain establishment. Anyway, I’ve modified the goal slightly. Two weeks just is too short a time. Instead, I’m going for an entire month. That’s right, I’m not going to have a burrito until at least June 24th.

Let’s see how long I make it.

#67 – Create an online journal devoted to these 101 things

This one is kinda obvious.

This is the journal referred to in #67, so you can see I have set it up. It will probably go through some minor (major) tweaks (code rewrites) at some point; however, for now, it’s gonna look like the main blog. You might notice some rather sweeping changes at some point that are rather unexpectant, since my website automatically updates both the wordpress software and the k2 theme from subversion repositories at 2am (PST) every morning, in whatever state they’re in. This means they could be broken beyond belief. If that happens, I’m probably already working on getting less screwy code installed from the repository.

#36 – Publish this list on the Internet

The first goal on this list was accomplished yesterday, when I finally published my list to a web site.

My current list will always be available at this location, and when I have more than one list, I will probably make subpages from there so everyone can see my progress over the years, as well as what items made the cut after the list was done.

That’s odd. I just noticed, Twitter Tools is putting the wrong date on my tweets. Today already has a post created, and today’s posts will show as tomorrow. That is, unless I change something. So, I just tweaked the settings so Twitter Tools will fire off the digest of my tweets at 11:59 PM, rather than 12:00 AM. Hopefully, that will address the problem. If not, I’ll have to find a different solution.

In other news, I’ve also added a script to my hosting account that will automatically loop through the database and close comments (but leave pingbacks open) on all Twitter Tools postings. All I get on those is comment spam anyway, easily weeded out by Spam Karma & Akismet.

A wireless headset has many advantages over a wired one. One of which is the ability to hit the head late at night with other people in the house trying to sleep, but still rock out.

My pages have apparently all reverted to posts with the latest database upgrade… please stand by while this problem is fixed.
