Steampunk project



Sitting at my desk watching the Dark Knight DVD I got for Christmas I noticed a 128MB flash drive sitting on my desk. I grabbed some off cuts of leather and some broken custom jewelry.

Ripped the plastic case off the flash drive and made a leather case for it. I added some jewelry pieces to the case and added a chain carry handle.

Wife liked it a lot so I made it a gift for her. Not bad for a few minutes work, now I have the urge to get some more flash drives and make a run of these.

Boring!

I find a few things boring, nothing quite as much as sitting in meetings and seminars. Must be my old age I guess, even when I am interested in the subject matter I find it hard to keep my eyes open. My head lolls on my chest, I am sure I drool and make snoring noises too.

I sometimes dig my fingernails into my palms in an effort to keep myself awake.

Now if the subject is something I have no interest in and I am only there because some "boss" suggested we go then I am in major trouble. Technical talks meant to inform us plebs goes over our heads, the latest talk on project management software just bored the whole room to sleep. Happily I wasn't the only one struggling to not fall out of my chair.

Coffee intravenously may help but I need some method to look like I am at least paying attention.

and the pile grows

As the wife and I have been looking into new life insurance we have checked all manner of sites and adverts. It seems the explorations have started to pay off, in the terms of junk mail it seems.

We now must be on every life insurance mailing list going. A day doesn't go by when the mailbox if jammed to overflowing with leaflets and envelopes stuffed with information packs on all manner of life insurance.

I guess we certainly have enough material to choose from now, I am just hoping they don't all start phoning the house or worse yet sending reps around unsolicited. Does anyone do that any more I wonder?

Saving cash

In these dire economic times we are always on the look out for ways to save money. Recycling, bulk buying, using coupons, looking for low cost health insurance, selling stuff we don't really need. Things aren't too bad but we felt it was prudent to start doing what we can to save money in case anything happens that affect my job or health issues which could lay us low.

We didn't spend a fortune on Christmas this year although we still spoiled the grand kids. I am glad we don't have a vehicle with all the related costs of ownership, maintenance and gas.

Maybe we'll win the lottery, I guess I should actually buy a lottery ticket to be in with a chance.
