    Taking the Tempur-Pedic challenge, and hating it.

    I returned them today. The guy at the store told me I should have gone another week. Told me he hated his until the third week and now he couldn't live without it. I took the refund.

    Taking the Tempur-Pedic challenge, and hating it.

    So I've always had trouble finding good pillows. I've tried most everything from firm to soft and from large to small with no success. I sleep on my back and my side sometimes. Usually I end up with my shoulders all out of whack and my neck hurting when I wake up. So I decided it was time...

    First job interview in years and I choked.

    Had a technical interview today for an IT support position. I haven't interviewed in a very long time and I was nervous from the start. I found myself fumbling over answers to questions and in some cases I flat out failed to deliver any sort of quality response. Once I started choking it...

    Getting rid of Cellular service.

    I'm sick of cellular service. I'm sick of people assuming I should be available 24/7. I'm ready for a change. So I want to get some kind of VoIP service that I can use from my PC as well as from a Wifi enabled phone. It would be nice if the phone had a cellular chip in it for emergency/911...

    YABowlingT: Reverse block blues.

    Damn dude. Chill just a bit. You're right, an 84 is certainly a horrible horrible score no matter what the conditions. I'm aware of that. I'm definitely learning what doesn't work. ;)

    I certainly won't gain any throwing plastic into the pocket.

    YABowlingT: Reverse block blues.

    I'm a lot more concerned about learning to throw a quality shot that will carry pins. I'll sacrifice score for skill any day. I'd rather use reactive balls and suffer. Still, I definitely plan to practice more and more with my plastic ball for spare shots. That's one thing that will translate...

    YABowlingT: Reverse block blues.

    Not a bad idea. The problem is that I want to develop a shot with a reactive ball that I can play on this pattern. They won't dress these sport shots for practice, so the only night I get to try them is league night. So I'm basically practicing and competing all at once. It's very difficult...

    YABowlingT: Reverse block blues.

    I've been bowling in a tough shot league this summer. We play on difficult oil patterns. Tonight was a reverse block, which is basically opposite of the standard house shot. So instead of having dry on the outsides to help guide my ball into the pocket I had rivers of oil on the outside...

    YABowlingT: Reverse block blues.

    Bowled on a reverse block (oil on the outsides, dry in the middle) tonight. It killed me. My series : 155, 118, 84. By the end of game 3 I was ready to throw my entire arsenal into the trash. Hardest pattern I've ever bowled on, and I'm not even a big hook/crank player. Down and in is my...

    First apartment in NYC while job hunting.

    Thanks EvilYoda. It's nice to know someone appreciates where I am coming from. Truth is, I've had the easy route for a while now. I'm more than willing to shake things up a bit. If I walk away from NYC in 6 months or a year and I've not landed a job at least I will have the experience of...

    First apartment in NYC while job hunting.

    I realize in a perfect world I would have a job already lined up. I'm doing my best this summer to make that happen. Am I wrong to assume that I will have a much better chance at finding work when I'm actually living there?

    First apartment in NYC while job hunting.

    Moving to NYC this coming fall. I'll be moving to be close to friends who are living in the city now. One lives in the East Village and one lives in the Upper East. I'll also be moving to look for work (IT). I may or may not find a job right away. I'll be sleeping on my friends couches for a...

    what's the most ghetto neighborhood near you?

    I live in Memphis. Grown up around many of our "special" places. ;) I'm doing fine now in the Midtown area, but my first apartment was nestled in-between Orange Mound and Sherwood. Nothing beats the ghetto's in North Memphis. That's the only part of town I wouldn't want to be caught just...

    ATM machine kept my card.

    ding ding ding. Just got off the phone with the bank. They've confirmed my card was indeed in the machine, and that it was shredded about an hour ago. Called my bank and confirmed. New card is in the mail.

    ATM machine kept my card.

    Kinda drunk last night when I hit up the ATM for some cash. It's one of the units that keeps the card throughout the transaction and returns it once complete. Well...I forgot to grab the card when it popped out. I'm walking away when I hear it beep at me. I run back to get it but I was too...

    Saw MGMT last night in Memphis.

    Very interesting sound and they put on a kick a$$ show. The album they are touring is fantastic and definitely worth checking out. Band Website

    YAResumeT: Haven't done this in a while.

    Been with my current employer 7+ years. It's kinda tough consolidating all that time into a few bullet points. I don't even know where to start in terms of major accomplishments as I've been a part of countless successful projects. I bounced around a bit before then trying out a few different...

    YABowlingT: First time bowling on a sport pattern.

    Yea, I am pretty sure my span is just a bit too long. It doesn't help that I basically killed my bevel trying to sand out the thumbhole either.

    YABowlingT: First time bowling on a sport pattern.

    Yea, the lefties had things a bit easier. At least in terms of break-down. As far as my ball arsenal, it wasn't that I didn't have my plastic spare with me. I made the mistake of getting new inserts just the day before and I had them made too tight. I tried sanding them out to fit, but I...

    YABowlingT: First time bowling on a sport pattern.

    What really pisses me off the most is that I cannot practice this pattern. My local lanes won't dress it during the week claiming that it is an unfair advantage to those who live close by. They won't even dress a similar pattern for practice. They won't dress a completely different sport...

    YABowlingT: First time bowling on a sport pattern.

    Thanks. I appreciate it, as I've been working my a$$ off to figure this damn sport out. Tonight was a complete eye opener. I've got to figure out how to use a house-pattern to practice for playing a sport-pattern. I can't find a lane in my city that will dress them for practice, and my...

    YABowlingT: First time bowling on a sport pattern.

    A house pattern typically has a lot of oil in the center of the lane gradually decreases towards the outside until it's quite dry at the edges. Also the standard house shot run oil out to around 40 feet. This gives a consistent break and/or exit point to work with at any bowling lane you go to...

    YABowlingT: First time bowling on a sport pattern.

    Lil' background info; been bowling for about 1.5 years. Have a coach I meet with regularly. I carry a 175 average in my house-shot leagues. Tonight I bowled my first "tough shot" league. It's not an official PBA sport pattern, but it is far from a house shot. Basically flat oil from...

    Layoffs headed my way.

    Nope that figure stayed the same. The biggest news is that we get a 60-day grace period. Many of us thought it would be no more than a couple weeks, or even less. We are getting payed for unused vacation (I've got a bunch saved up). We are getting pro-rated bonus's (thought we would forfeit)...

    Layoffs headed my way.

    45 minutes till my official meeting. I'm all nerves. Could go a couple ways, but I'm pretty sure I'll get the severance package. It is possible they will offer a forward moving position that will trump the severance offer.

    What possesses people to park directly next to you when there are other spots open?

    Perfect! I've been looking for something to stick in the wiper-blades of cars that park too close to my driveway (illegally, BTW, due to No Parking sign) and block my view of the street when exiting.
