If you’ve read previous posts on my blog, you’ll undoubtedly know that I’ve had some issues with my internet connection with Comcast.

I’ve finished my first week at my new job. It’s a weird sensation. I feel like I’ve been there for quite a while already, but that time has gone by really fast. Maybe it has to do with the fact that i was totally sick for about half the week? The first three days were …
Today was my first day at iPay. We did the usual stuff you do when you start a new job. You fill out paperwork, you get oriented to where everything is, you meet your supervisor and the people you’ll be working with, all that fun stuff. Tomorrow (or actually today since it’s 4am and i …
