The one making the biggest impact (on me) was one of the kitchen closers who also closed out the cash register and made night deposits. We’re currently down to three people that have the right training and one is going [...] http://www.gaiser.org/knitblog/2008/08/30/catching-up-again-3/feed/ http://www.gaiser.org/knitblog/2008/08/17/i-love-computers-not/ http://www.gaiser.org/knitblog/2008/08/17/i-love-computers-not/#comments Mon, 18 Aug 2008 03:38:43 +0000 Jerry http://www.gaiser.org/knitblog/2008/08/17/i-love-computers-not/ Last night we had a little weather incident. Lots of lightning, a couple of near strikes, loss of power. Computer came back up this morning, but when I got home this evening, I found that drive one of my two drive desktop system was making very nasty noises. Very nasty noises. It’s dead and the [...] http://www.gaiser.org/knitblog/2008/08/17/i-love-computers-not/feed/ http://www.gaiser.org/knitblog/2008/08/11/lets-talk-food/ http://www.gaiser.org/knitblog/2008/08/11/lets-talk-food/#comments Tue, 12 Aug 2008 03:15:48 +0000 Jerry http://www.gaiser.org/knitblog/2008/08/11/lets-talk-food/ I love to cook.. I’ve spent the whole day in the pizza kitchen cooking for other people and since I got off early tonight, I decided to cook a quick and easy dinner. German Shepherd’s Pie… Sauerkraut, Kielbasa and mashed potatoes. I’ve got a big pyrex casserole dish and in it I place 4lbs [...] http://www.gaiser.org/knitblog/2008/08/11/lets-talk-food/feed/ http://www.gaiser.org/knitblog/2008/08/07/feel-good-post-and-a-warning/ http://www.gaiser.org/knitblog/2008/08/07/feel-good-post-and-a-warning/#comments Fri, 08 Aug 2008 00:37:06 +0000 Jerry http://www.gaiser.org/knitblog/2008/08/07/feel-good-post-and-a-warning/ (sipping a nice locally brewed beer, connected to a blazingly fast broadband connection, enjoying a quiet Thursday afternoon) Everyone needs a bit of Feel Good now and then. These are probably old news to a lot of folks, but they made me feel good and I thought I’d share. Randy Pausch was a professor of computer science, [...] http://www.gaiser.org/knitblog/2008/08/07/feel-good-post-and-a-warning/feed/ http://www.gaiser.org/knitblog/2008/08/05/back-again/ http://www.gaiser.org/knitblog/2008/08/05/back-again/#comments Tue, 05 Aug 2008 20:37:01 +0000 Jerry http://www.gaiser.org/knitblog/2008/08/05/back-again/ I’ve only written two posts since Mom died and I really need to start becoming more evolved in the real world and I’ve begun to get out and start doing things again. The past two weekends have always been the highlight of the summer for me over the past 8-10 years. These are the weekends of [...] http://www.gaiser.org/knitblog/2008/08/05/back-again/feed/ http://www.gaiser.org/knitblog/2008/06/05/rejoining-society/ http://www.gaiser.org/knitblog/2008/06/05/rejoining-society/#comments Fri, 06 Jun 2008 03:31:09 +0000 Jerry http://www.gaiser.org/knitblog/2008/06/05/rejoining-society/ It’s been nearly a month since my Mother’s death and it’s time for me to quit feeling sorry for myself and try to start connecting with the real world. Eileen says I’ve been too withdrawn and if she notices, it’s time for me to make some changes. First, I really want to thank everyone who left [...] http://www.gaiser.org/knitblog/2008/06/05/rejoining-society/feed/ http://www.gaiser.org/knitblog/2008/05/08/need-to-talk/ http://www.gaiser.org/knitblog/2008/05/08/need-to-talk/#comments Fri, 09 May 2008 03:23:18 +0000 Jerry http://www.gaiser.org/knitblog/2008/05/08/need-to-talk/ My Mother died at about 9:30 this morning. She had a stroke Tuesday afternoon and after an early positive diagnosis, she went downhill very fast on Wednesday. I spent about 5 hours by her bedside on Wednesday and was on my way back to Salem this morning to visit her again when I received the call. I [...] http://www.gaiser.org/knitblog/2008/05/08/need-to-talk/feed/ http://www.gaiser.org/knitblog/2008/03/23/having-way-too-much-fun-tonight/ http://www.gaiser.org/knitblog/2008/03/23/having-way-too-much-fun-tonight/#comments Mon, 24 Mar 2008 06:03:27 +0000 Jerry http://www.gaiser.org/knitblog/2008/03/23/having-way-too-much-fun-tonight/ see more crazy cat pics http://www.gaiser.org/knitblog/2008/03/23/having-way-too-much-fun-tonight/feed/ http://www.gaiser.org/knitblog/2008/03/23/ride-em-cowboy/ http://www.gaiser.org/knitblog/2008/03/23/ride-em-cowboy/#comments Mon, 24 Mar 2008 05:42:57 +0000 Jerry http://www.gaiser.org/knitblog/2008/03/23/ride-em-cowboy/ moar funny pictures http://www.gaiser.org/knitblog/2008/03/23/ride-em-cowboy/feed/ http://www.gaiser.org/knitblog/2008/03/21/well-now/ http://www.gaiser.org/knitblog/2008/03/21/well-now/#comments Fri, 21 Mar 2008 19:20:07 +0000 Jerry http://www.gaiser.org/knitblog/2008/03/21/well-now/ It’s been a while since my last posting, but work and a slowly reviving nursery have left me with little time for much else. Mentally, things are going pretty nice, but the restaurant has gotten crazy in the last two months. While I’m still cruising close to the 40 hour/week mark, I feel like I’m *always* [...] http://www.gaiser.org/knitblog/2008/03/21/well-now/feed/
