Don’t EVER log in to work email on a weekend again. Never ever. Never ever gets curious to see if everything the boss needs is in place after you’ve left on Friday. (I know, I know. If something else was needed Friday, I am indeed in no position to fix anything. But hey, I have the weekend to think about how I can fix it and do it the moment I walk in the door on Monday.) Curiosity, indeed, kills the cat. In my case today, the cat being having a good weekend…well, alright, Saturday night and Sunday morning. I...

Brandon and his coworkers were talking about firearms and going shooting at the range. 9mm this and shot gun that. Then suddenly, Abu*, an India native, spoke. Abu: I blew a goat. [Pause] Brandon: What did you say, Abu? Abu: I blew a goat. When I was a boy. Brandon and Tim*: Uh… Abu: You know? A goat. I blew it. I put rifle between trees. And bang bang. I blew goat. Brandon: Oh. OH! Abu, you meant that you blew a goat AWAY. Abu: It’s what I said. Tim: No, you said you blew a goat. Abu: It’s what...

Look at the time stamp! Even I don’t remember when was the last time I stayed up until 1:30 a.m. Thanks, Irena! BTW – Go see “Cars”. It’s awesome. Just awesome. I probably have to see it again because I missed a few jokes. And yeah, you should know Pixar by now but just a reminder to sit through the credit. 🙂...

Oh, the trouble a self taught novice graphic designer has to go through. So, the printer said our logo uses PMS 871 Metallic gold. Okay that’s well and good, but finding a good match for that in RGB or CYMK is a little tricky as my old Photoshop doesn’t have PMS 871 in their Pantone color match. I hit the internet in search for an equivalent to PMS 871 that other people use on their style guides. I either ended up too green or bright yellow. Finally, I found the perfect gold. The bosses love it. I took PMS 126...

Okay. I have to get y’all caught up. But first. Paul called Brandon not long after we got home from his vasectomy appointment yesterday. In a little kid’s voice: “Daddy, daddy! Why did you cut us loose? Don’t you love us any more?” We damn near died laughing. Yep. The vasectomy was done. Brandon stayed home today and he’s feeling just fine. The horror of yesterday seems so far away. Well, let’s just say that he wasn’t numb enough for the last little bit of the procedure. Boys, you can uncross your legs now. We spent the rest of evening...
