I realy kinda hope right now that Mum doesn't find out exactly how much free junk I've brought home in the week the family has been out of town. Because today I brought home a file cabinet, an 8' CB antenna, some miscellaneous small toolboxes and hubcaps, a largeish Bug Zapper and a couple keyboard trays.
Adding that to all the other stuff I've gotten (and not totally filed away yet), all collected it takes up more space than I really have at the moment. Especially that file cabinet. I don't think that will fit in my room very well....and I was going to bring home a different one with the short drawers for the basement. Hm.

Score! (The Ridiculous-Lot-Of-Miscellany Edition)
Work has been good to me this week. I have saved from extinction in the netherworld of Dumpster a two-port KVM complete with cables, a couple ancient modems, a raft of storage bins, a box of miscellaneous mice, power cables and data cables, an APC 1000VA UPS (dead batteries), and a handheld inventory scanner thingy, apparently still in it's original box.
And yesterday at a yardsale I acquired a DVD player, a drafting chair, Super Mario 64 and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, all for $12. Now if only I could find the sword so I can go talk to the Great Deku Tree, my life would be so much better.

I Should Have Called This Blog "Diary of Sporadic Man"
Actually, that sounds sort of like I'm some sort of mushroom superhero, so maybe not.
So to recap the last month:
And that's why I haven't blogged. I have fixed my computer (new power supply & a real case to boot), acquired a real (if somewhat dorky looking) CB antenna for Genny, and collected a lot of other neat junk for free.
There are some advantages to working for a moving company: Sometimes people want to get rid of things and we have the priviledge of doing so for them and good stuff goes to the nearest guy who wants it. That is how I have become the owner of a Samsung Syncmaster 700IFT 17" monitor, an HP DesignJet 350C plotter, a couple IBM 380 laptops, another old computer & HP 17 monitor, and a large piece of corkboard, among other small odds and ends. Yes folks, this is a "Score!" post, edition "Super Stuff I Don't Have Room For But Can't Pass Up For The Life Of Me". But I guess that's ok because the plotter is going to a friend who might actually use it.
So to recap the last month:
- Work.
- More Work.
- Housesitting.
- Along with work.
