Testing voice recognition for posting from my phone. Wow this works pretty good.
I’m impressed with this but i’m wondering why there isn’t software like this for my computer.
Today’s Horoscope

Normally I don’t take these thing too seriously. But this one today really lines up with how I’ve been feeling lately.
You may have a little mini-crisis or two in regards to your career. What’s it mean?
Everyone around you is quite pleased with the way things have turned out recently. Unfortunately, you’ve got this nagging feeling that something is deeply wrong — or that it will be soon. You’re probably right, but it’s not going to be as serious as you think or fear it might be. Try not to gloat too much when what you predicted comes to pass. Nobody loves a righteous Eeyore!
Bonneville
Posted by Erin | Filed under General
This month marks the 10th year I’ve owned my 1998 Pontiac Bonneville. It has seen better days.
This is the car on the day I brought it home.
Just a few months after I bought it, I backed into a solid object and dented the trunk lid in. For whatever reason, I just never bothered to get it fixed.
It was broken into in Feb 2008; rear passenger window smashed, and my stereo and radar detector stolen.
Last Friday some idiot decided they wanted to change lanes into the passenger side of my car and ended up busting the passenger side mirror off. Barton spent a good portion of Saturday JBWeld-ing it back on. The door still has some bits and pieces to be put back together though.
Update 4-18: The mirror fell off again.. its taped on with clear tape for now however its going to have to get glued back on again.
Sick Again
Posted by Erin | Filed under General
Back at the end of January, I got sick. While a cold, for a normal person, might last a few days and be done with, for me they drag on and on and on. I don’t think I truly started feeling “better” until sometime after Valentine’s Day.

Reading thru the work chat backlog:
Severin: from where I sit, I can only see the back of her Stormtrooper monitors, so it’s funny to hear muttered curse words come from them, throughout our overlapping shifts
Severin: “omfg, this guy is retarded”
Severin: sometimes I think I hear her say stuff in Samuel L Jackson’s voice
