This morning I had a staffing agency call and ask if I wanted to accept a temp-to-hire position as a custodian.

I appreciate the effort, I really do, but...

QuickBooks is obviously such a complex and user-unfriendly system that anyone who does not use it regularly has no chance of ever grasping it. The same can be said for any external payroll processing system, the catch-22 being that you must be an expert at using the system before you can learn how to use it, since a company won't hire you if you don't have the experience with their specific system, and you cannot be trained on a system without a corporation backing you.

I was on EQG this morning looking at various articles and happened to come across the Pony Spotlight on Bulk Biceps article from April 10th. A very good article that tracks the lovable lug's progress from one-off joke character who almost didn't appear (how many times have we heard about this happening, Derpy?) to a not-that-bright, big-hearted dude with some nifty character depth if you take the time to

I had this dream the other night. I dreamed that I was having a sleepover with my best friend Dusk Shine. Dusk has been my best friend since he and his dad moved to Seaddle after his mom died.

So last year for Father's Day, I did a small tribute...

...and I decided to get a little jump start this weekend on Mother's Day for a couple of reasons. The first is that there are a lot more official mothers on the show than fathers, especially after adding Season 5 into the mix. The second, is that I'm such a procrastinator, it probably still won't be finished by May.

Hopefully Camo EQG Beauty with a Bag o' Toys and a red hat this year isn't as controversial as Button Mash spinning a dreidel was last year. Wouldn't want Hearth's Warming with the Apples and Pies to turn into the Hooffields and McColts, after all.

This is Guapo.

My wife and I "rescued" him a few days ago from the shelter. He's a sweetheart, and very friendly with our first dog, Odie. There's just one problem... he won't come near me without my wife's assistance.
