The timing is off on my sewing machine. Does anyone know how to fix it?
I was going to make new fuzzy pajamas for my little one, but now I can’t.
Does anyone else have weird things routinely happen on Leap Days?

Not pointless enough, but sewing machine timing is either: (1) rewind bobbin (too loose or too tight); (2) Adjust thread tension (fiddle with the tension dial, and if that doesn’t work adjust the tension screw on the bobbin case); (3) Lint clogging the thread tension discs and/or the feed dog (just clean the hell out of everything in sight); (4) Dull teeth on the feed dog (replace it); (5) Bent or poorly connected needle (try a new one); or (6) Presser foot got knocked out of line (open the front of the case, loosen the screw at the top of the foot spring, straighten the foot, and retighten).
If none of that works, take two shots of tequila and call me in the morning.

I’m hearing ticking noises all over the place!!! My headphones just started ticking where they touch the left side of my head…
Not only that, but there’s something that beeps approximately every hour in this room, and I can’t find it! I’m going to go insane!!! (No jokes about it already having happened.)
Oh well. There will always be Stoned Wheat Thins.

I messed with my homepage for half an hour. jeez, I wonder who the 100 people are that checked my home page. I’m the other 154. No new stuff to look at or read in English, only stuff I wote in Rutabagian.
Still no luck getting this interview I wrote published. The interviewee made his last major recording in 1993.No sign that he’ll ever record another entire CD.
You can actually read part of it, click Pembroke on my homepage and scroll about half way down, it’s in English.
After words Kansas City, it’s in English
My entire interview is 14 pages and I managed to send a 5 page version to a magazine that may caary it. But it’s just a tiny 3000 copy circulation magazine.No pay.
After 6pm, there are only two people here at work that are not broken in some way. Me and the goddess. The goddess is this girl that’s easily in the top 1% of the most physically and mentally beautiful girls I’ve ever met. Plus, she’s single. Relatively rare in a tech field.
I know she doesn’t hate me… a good sign. But, I don’t want to push the issue, since if I fuck up, I’m gonna have to work every night with a reminder of how much of a schlub I am. Gah.
I’m thinking of quitting anyways, so maybe I should go talk to her. Damn I wish I were better at this shit. Only thing that I know she enjoys is pokemon. And I don’t know the first thing on them. Don’t want to.
Hrm… maybe a recon run… there must be something on her desk I can comment on.
Fuck! Spotted! She made eye contact! Hmmm… she smiled. Good sign. Maybe.
Hmm… maybe I’ll just spend the weekend thinking of something to say. Yeah… that’s safer.

Itäs 7 45AM. My kid has karate at 8 15. Gotta go.
This is a leap year, and that’s going to throw me off for the next ten months.
Fudge greenies & blue mashed potatoes go with everything!
OK, I’m going to bed at 9:45 AM…I need some serious help.
I came down with a cold yesterday. My nose is burning and my head feels like there’s a wool blanket around my brain. I stayed up way later than my cold medicine wanted me to last night, to put up the Rock & Roll Jeopardy game, and it seems no one wants to play it. 
And I need a new sig line 'cuz I’m getting bored with mine, but I can’t think of anything even mildly amusing or interesting to put there.
I’m hungry, and I’m out of milk for my cereal.

I still haven’t gotten used to the idea of living in the year 2000. I wanna go back to the 1900s. For now, I’m pretending that the current year is really 19100.
Zyada, if you’re San Anton way, stop by! Veb, sorry to hear that. Are you better yet? should I come over and kiss it all better? (oh, wait. that’s for owwies). Anyway, get better soon.
Kat, I LOVE the cars snowball fighting!!!
I really needed a laugh this am.
As for me, just spending time on here, ignoring the housework that’s waiting.
Wait. Something moved, and it wasn’t the kitten or the puppy. Kids not home either.
Oh, oh. It moved again. I think it’s the…
is it… OH NO!! RUNNNNN… It’s the laundry…
HEEEELLLLLPPPPPPPPPP!!!
