Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck FUCK.

I missed open enrollment for benefits at work. Since I was already enrolled for medical benfits, I had just assumed I'd retain the same plan for the next year. NO. If you don't re-enroll, you don't get insurance. And you had to enroll in November.

FUCK.

i just had to come here to tell you that every time i see a comment from you i snicker cus i LOVE your screenname/handle/whatever you call it these days.

that open enrollment thing sucks. i have the same problem. i switched jobs in june and had benefits under my wife's coverage. she stopped working in the fall so i have to wait until next june to enroll now . the shitty thing is, i thought it was a matter of me choosing to not get them when i started with this company, but no, you can ONLY enroll in june. what if you start working in july? shitty...

Babies are amazing creatures. To be more accurate, babies within our own families are amazing creatures. Everyone else's babies are boring.

Eric, 9 months old now, is starting to stand up all by himself. He can pull himself up on a table or sofa and hold on with one hand. He's also crawling like a pro. It seems like 5 minutes ago when he couldn't...

My state hates gay people.

Texas' Proposition 2, "the constitutional amendment providing that marriage in this state consists only of the union of one man and one woman" -- also known as the "give the gay community a good solid kick in the balls" amendment -- has been made law by a 76% popular vote.

Sometimes I can't believe how fucking backwards people are around...

Don't think the blue states are all they are cracked up to be. Oh, that's right I'm in a swing state. It just swung the wrong way when this was up for vote.
Look on the bright side. They didn't put yours up for vote during the presidential election just to get all the conservatives out to the poles.

Thanks for the birthday wishes, everybody! It was uneventful, since my mom & my sister are out of town, and I still don't have any friends. This is how the day went:

I get up in the morning, brush my teeth, and get breakfast at Whataburger. I go to work, and spend 8 hours listening to people yell at me on the phone because their...

Wow, I haven't updated in... *checks watch* forever.

My website is totally awesome now, because I got some forum software running on it. Something's not quite working right with the forums, though, so I'll try to work it out.

Big brother has been in for the weekend. He's staying until Wednesday, when he has a job interview. Hopefully, he'll be moving down here for good...

So my cousin Margaret, her husband, and their baby got here on Thursday. And my brother came down for a visit over the weekend.

Visiting with the family is always nice, but it's starting to bug me that we never *do* anything. I'd like to play Scrabble, or watch a movie, or go to Six Flags or a park or something. But we just go...

Not much interesting in my life.

I got a subdomain: http://justintnelson.homelinux.com/

I just farted. Really.

Trying to cut back on spending. I haven't bought any new games for the DS, and I'm almost never eating out anymore. I'm trying to pay off the last bit of credit-card debt. If all goes well, my brother will be moving back here this year. If I have my...
