    Today's purchase of Shamrock Shakes from McDonald's is about as close to a St Patrick's Day celebration as we are willing to do, and so the festivities were taken up today. I didn't have one and stuck with the old standard chocolate for myself, and after not having a shake from them for a considerable amount of time I have to say that the sensation was odd. I got that scratchy feeling I get in the back of the throat when I have certain other sugary products lately, like the S'mores Goldfish or any ...

    Hope you had a Happy Pie Day.

    I actually took the time to pay the monthly utility bills today, which is a bit earlier than the point of the month that I usually remember to get around to it. The gas and cable bills were higher than usual. The latter is understandable in light of the service call that was made a few weeks ago, but the former I can't think of any good rationalization. Maybe I'll have to see what's up if the trend continues next month.

    I need to respond ...

  3. Mutation Nation 3026500 pts. 1CC



    Here is Mutation Nation, totally destroyed on default MVS difficulty 4.

    This is one of the better from the Neo-Geo's sparse selection of belt scroll/beat'em ups. It's got some cool special attack items- charge up the ki meter, then let one loose. This is helpful to your score in case of several "sniper" enemies entering at once, so you can kill all three instantly to keep any from escaping. Type-D is my favorite- you are turned into a tornado which

    If now was five years ago, I'd be making a stink about something right here in this post. But, it's not, and I won't. I think it might be time to move on by my own volition.

    I received a text today from the customer who I mentioned preparing returns of for her and her daughter earlier this week. The point of contact was the daughter's email, and the text I received from the mother today asked if I had received the forms which she had sent out. That explains the lack of communication ...

    Got the two initial results of Federal returns done for customers, and had to be the bearer of initial bad news. One would owe a four figure amount based on the data that I have received. I still don't have a response.

    Finished off the rest of the Jameson bottle and was up at about 430AM when the power went out. It turns out that it wouldn't be back for three hours.

    Woke up and see that I have already seen the rejection email response from the firm that gave me the ...

    Complications have arisen with the addition of the BL2 GOTY add on disc with my friend's version of the game, as he had acquired the base game as a digital download. The add-on disc has a general patch which has been superseded by a more recent patch online. When I acquired and went about installing all the content, I received a warning when I tried installing the patch that was on the disc. Apparently, he received no such warning and when he subsequently tried to play the game with the rest of ...

    What's nice is the ability to give a friend a DLC add on disc and have him be able to install and use everything without issue. The disc will get some more use before it's returned to me.

    What's not nice is trying to do a job without the tool with which you must use to do everything. After checking that all the cardboard bales were cleared, and that the loose carts were removed from the back area, there's basically nothing I can do in my job without the scanner gun. They're on short ...

    Some nights are better than others for having a friend over to share a few drinks. The night when daylight savings is invoked is not one of them. The night when daylight savings is invoked and you have to be up at 5AM for work the next day is definitely not one of them. Try as we might, the bottle of Jameson was not depleted when I asked him to depart at 1130PM. Oh, and the Win7 installation - this being the actual reason for the visit - did seem to occur OK, though he has a lot of updating to do ...

    For reasons beyond my knowledge or explanation I attacked retail work today with a pace that I haven't felt in many days. There were picks a plenty and I simply went from one to the next without issue and pulling product down left and right. Inventory is supposedly coming in June (though it's supposed to be every 10 months and it was June last year), and for audits they want an extra step taken for verification. I appreciate their desire to have everything in shape before inventory hits, but it's ...

    Today I took the step forward to look into cryptocurrency mining. I have a mining program, I'm setting up a wallet and letting it sync up as I write this, and I'll see what I can do with a minimal availability of resources and probably no investment of actual money. No, I don't expect much of anything, but I'd like to at least try doing something with it rather than continue to sit on the sidelines. If there's any benefit to come out of this, it's that the streaming PC will be doing the work and ...

    As it turns out, the conference call that I mentioned yesterday is scheduled for next Wednesday. That's good to know.

    In the Form work for the 2013 Form 1120 series, I'm coming up to having to redo Form 1118, out of Test Scenario 3. I think it would be better for my general health to do as I did last time and simply worry about editing the portion of the Form which I need to have data supplied and ignore the rest. It's just too long otherwise.

    I responded immediately ...

    I heard about this on the radio recently, and remembered to respond to it today:
    Carl Sandburg's poem "Chicago" turns 100 this month.

    In March 1914, Poetry magazine published the work, and introduced the world to the "City of Big Shoulders". While we may no longer be "hog butcher for the world", Chicago's profile continues to fascinate, divide, welcome and challenge visitors and residents. So what does the city look like to you, 100 years

    One thing I forgot to mention about my extended wait in meeting the attorney is that I had the chance to read some of the higher-end market magazines like Wall Street Journal magazine, which has to be at least 60% advertisements, and all for products which I would need a few years to save up for purchase at my current income levels.

    Songs were mostly lousy today, but not bad enough to make me distraught. I guess it's a good thing I put off playing Shake again from then until now. ...

    Things to do this week: Call dentist, and see about getting the tax returns underway for two of my relatives. Respond to LinkedIn content where I see it. Continue with Form work.

    I think I might indulge in some Black Label tonight, though. We'll see how it goes.

    Songs were pretty good today. It helps to lead things off with two songs that I haven't played frequently or recently, at least the latter being the case for the first song on the list. I wouldn't have guessed ...

    One Form updates after the next but I still can't shake the feeling that this battle is ultimately getting the best of me by now. Maybe now that things are relatively back to normal I can make better progress in the upcoming three days off. Maybe I should just get to sleep a bit earlier, like right after posting this.

    When I was reading Steel Ball Run today (book #4), I felt like I kept running from one panel to the next without having an issue in reading any of it. I might have hit ...
