Before

Alright, after a third attempt and a differnt approach, here are the before and after of my new haircut. Oddly enough, this is the most recent picture that I can find with my hair down, even thought it was taken at Christmas last year. Just imagine my hair a couple inches longer and [...]

After

A former coworker from YB sent me the pictures we took the last time I was at YB (almost a week after my official last day). I always think cropped pictures look a little funny, especially since I know what the original picture looks like, but this is far better than the pictures I [...]

Unpacking: The Week (So Far) In Review

Since arriving in the 5400 on Saturday evening, I’ve spent the majority of my days unpacking and trying to find places to put all the stuff from the boxes. It’s been a daunting and arduous task, but progress has been made on several fronts, but there is still a lot of work to do. [...]

Writing From a New Location

Greetings from the 5400!
I thought I’d write just a quick little note to let everyone know that I made it to the 5400. I realize the picture above is as cheesy and corny as all getup, but it was no small feat to get out of my old apartment (I had a TON [...]

Packing: Day Four and Five

I finally talked to my landlord yesterday evening, and now I have this dreading feeling that he is going to make my life just a little harder than I would like it to be come Saturday morning. For a brief, shining moment, I thought I wasn’t going to have to wax my hardwood floors. [...]

Packing: Day Three

Today didn’t feel nearly as productive as yesterday, but one very important thing was accomplished.
Many in the readership have expressed interest in how The Couch will be removed from the premises. Several of you have suggested taking a chainsaw to it and then either taking it out the front door or out the [...]

Packing: Day Two

I realize posting about packing may not be the most exciting thing in the world, but, in all honesty, I need something to do other than sit in front of my TV while I wrap my more fragile belongings (ie my glasses and dishes) in newspaper and then into large Rubbermaid totes.
So far I’ve [...]

Let the Packing Begin

Friday was my last day at YB. I don’t know if it’s really set in that I don’t work there anymore. I have to stop in next Friday to pick up my paycheck, donate my TV and eat lunch at a café that, according to most of my coworkers, serves the best hamburgers [...]

All I Want For Christmas

Apparently, people think I’m hard to shop for. I’ll admit that it’s hard for me to tell people what I want for Christmas and my birthday. Most of the time I don’t need anything, so therefore, figuring out what I want is always a struggle. For whatever reason, when asked the magic [...]
