This year has been quite the rollercoaster. Just when I think that we are coming into the station or leveling off, or heck, even climbing a to new heights, there is always a steep drop-off. The worst part about it is that some of the falls are just reality checks for things that I let myself get caught up in. Like Taxes. Like My Career.…
April 15, 2003Thanks to Daniel’s nifty digicam, we were able to get this high quality photo-op of me, Cynthia Harriss (Disneyland President), and Daniel. The photo was taken at the breakfast for all the opening team of the new Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh attraction at Disneyland. I’ve been lucky to be part of the project since January, and am glad to see it finally take…
April 14, 2003I’ve mentioned this before in years past, I really don’t like Daylight Saving Time. Despite the fact that it gives us nice long hours of daylight, it still is a pain. It makes me wish I lived in Arizona, where they have the common sense not to change their clocks. Usually, its the Monday after that causes problems, but now that I’m working at Disneyland…
April 7, 2003This morning I received a notice from the folks over at Tell Me that effective April 9th, they are shuttering the Extensions service. So hop on over while you still can and listen to the Club Josh Daily Update. I remember it was almost exactly two years ago that I first put up the Tell Me site and for a good chunk of time it…
April 3, 2003It only took us three hours at the Honda dealer last night – I think it was a record for me. Usually I will sit there and haggle the last penny on the price, but Dad was not in the mood and instead of getting free running boards and mud flaps, we ended up with only a roof rack. I tried to explain to the…
April 2, 2003I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of my nice new refrigerator. The phone just rang and it will be here in about 30 minutes. I have no idea why I am so excited about a fridge. Maybe because its my first major appliance. Sure, I have bought toasters before, and my brother bought me a microwave when I moved to Chico, but nothing on this…
April 1, 2003Its after 2am and I just now got home from work. Saturday night I was back at the Matterhorn for one of those Mmm Mmm good 6pm to 1am shifts. Now the park closed at midnight so when you are off at 1, you usually have to do a lost and found run, but you are still ready to clock out and now that I…
March 30, 2003It is amazing the things you do to avoid unpacking. This week, I managed to make it to the movies not once, but twice. Now back in the heyday in Davis, Cooper and I would try and see movies all the time. I have fond memories of driving to the Century Theaters near Arden Fair to see the latest and greatest on the biggest screens…
March 28, 2003Since I have moved, I have noticed that I have spent far fewer hours on the internet. I chalk it up to mainly being busy with the apartment and work, and not to a fundamental change in the way I lead my life. I also suspect the fact that my desktop is still in pieces might have something to do with it as well. There…
March 25, 2003So moving is a pain. Not that it should be a surprise to anyone. But you see, for every year you live in a place, the degree of difficulty multiples on a logarithmic scale. Actually, as I look around my place, I think I have done OK. One of the casualties of the move is the white Steelcase desk I picked up at the UCD…
