Since having my cell phone switched to AT&T, I have noticed more problems that when I had US Cellular. Now while driving up the interstate the signal goes up and down, sometimes cutting out completely. In fact at home my signal goes between 1 and 2 bars… US Cellular at least had 4 or 5.. So everytime I see one of those commercials, it just makes me mad, as unless you are in a highly populated area, your stuck with the same old crappy coverage that Cellular One had before AT&T bought them out. The only good thing about the new one, is that the GPS works in it with Google Maps. But other than that, the internet access is slow, calls dropped and the coverage sucks.
It is about time. What is a Tad, Dash, Pinch or Smidgen?
While I was out walking around the massive amounts of people trying to get those sometimes good black friday deals I found these… I needed a new set of measuring spoons and the ones I got came with this extra set. I just wonder what the actually equate to? So if you really need a “tad” of this or a “dash” of that, or a “pinch” here or a “smidgen” there, these are supposed to be what those “terms” equate too…
Thanksgiving Dinner
This was the first year I hosted thanksgiving dinner. All in all I think it went well. The food was well liked.
Sun Stuff
So I get poked fun of at work any time I wear a Sun shirt.(And no I don’t have Sun Underwear, or Sun Socks, or anything with a Sun logo that is below the belt.).. When I first started I pretty much wore a Sun logo’d item every day… (I have enough, more on that later). I have cut back some (have to dress up a little more now.) So I decided tonight to start going through the house to find all of my Sun stuff. So far this is what I have found:
- Numerous ink pens. Everything from the pen/highlighters from classes, to some more expensive ones that are engraved/etched.
- Sun Mints (got to say one of the weirdest)
- Sun Sun Glasses
- Various Sun Hardware, from Servers to workstations. (SPARC2, 5, and Ultra 5)
