Because the company had no true base of operations there were folks [...]

The host service that held my old site finally expired. Unfortunately I had just renewed my domain so it still exists. So until it expires I have set up my old domain to forward here. So http://www.platypuscomics.com/ sends you right to this blog. And my old blog site http://www.platypuscomics.com/blog sends you to http://www.kevhines.com/blog which chastises [...]

“but brother, you’d better be dreaming!”

By Kevhines | Published: 10/3/2007
So I’ve started actively looking for work again. Well, not that actively. I am checking a handful of sites and reading job listings but not applying to anything or posting my resume anywhere. I am also telling people that I am looking for work. I am being slow about it because I am not sure [...]

Number 2 with Privacy

By Kevhines | Published: 12/19/2006
There is a guy on my floor in a wheelchair. He didn’t always work on this floor. When he arrived on the floor (a few months ago) my already unfufilling job became even more unenjoyable because now I can’t overcome my guilt to use the handicap bathroom. I miss taking craps in a private bathroom.

Wedded Bliss-krieg

By Kevhines | Published: 12/7/2006
