Since I was born in New York I guess I can say "Happy New Year To Me!"

A somewhat-wise man once told me "your failure to plan does not constitute an emergency on my part". How many times must I bail people out?

Received a mint condition $2 dollar bill tonight for change and gave it to Katie-Bug. She thought it was fake, she's never seen one before.

Lucky me, on call for New Year's Eve. All you drunk and crazy assess out there please don't hit my company vehicle tonight!

I know I am a day late but I'd like to say "You're Welcome Colts" for having the Jets DESTROY your perfect record! Wooo-fucking-hooo!

Looking for a icon representing Fe3+ (ferric or iron) that will also look good when resampled to 64x64 similar to: http://ping.fm/Tr0wx

On Call Day 1: Final on call of the year, looks pretty grim. Everyone think of me as you're getting wasted on New Years Eve.

This is the very last time I work for free! ... this year. :) Really though, I need to change certain work related habits for 2010.

Making a beef broth strudel which is one of my favorite dishes although it is really more of a beef wonton soup. Still very delicious.

I love my G-Train avatar/icon but I think for 2010 I am going to change it to something even more personal to who I am. STANDBY!

To my fellow New Yorkers, your mission is to search and destroy my brother for being a traitor! http://ping.fm/SJKp7

To all my friends and family, The only online photo albums I recommend is Picasa or Flickr. Please stay away from Kodak, Costco, etc.

It's just me, Laura and Katie for awhile. Mike is in Sacramento, California and Ashley near Reno, Nevada.

Fa la la la la, la la, la, la ... sorry, just savoring my White Russian while cooking an unorthodox Christmas Eve dinner.

Happy Birthday to my dad, Donald William Ferrick. (RIP)

Stop going through life telling people you can't do something because you're not properly trained. Take time and learn on your own lazy ass!

I'm amazed at how crippled I feel without my work phone. New BlackBerry on the way but in the meantime I'm a ghost.

Incompetence, you've infiltrated many of my co-workers brains lately.

Working at home listening to Led Zeppelin, good thing the wife is not home. She does not care for this music at all.

To all of my east coast friends complaining about the snow, Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! You'd miss it if you moved away, I can attest to that.

From what I remember it was 2 White Russians, 1 glass of Chardoney, 6 Martini's, 2 Cosmopolitans and 1 Long Island Iced Tea. I'M ALIVE!

The Prodigy really knows how to wake me up and get the blood pumping.

Phew! Too much number crunching and database querying makes Dayve a cranky boy, nothing that an alcoholic beverage couldn't fix though.

Finally had enough of our local Comcast company screwing us over, AT&T U-verse to be installed next week. End of a prison term for us.

I'm having a love/hate relationship with Excel 2007. I fancy myself a pro at Excel but version 2007 really changed a lot of things.

E-mail auto response from Sean, "Please contact Linda". E-mail auto response from Linda, "Please contact Sean". Human infinite loop. UGH!

I like the Google Picasa face recognition feature that allows you to then generate a collage from the cropped facial photos.

My mom turned 60 years old today and I am still afraid of her. :)

Hey dumbass! Land of the Free doesn't mean I pay for your shit, it doesn't mean entitlement either. Go back to England you prick.

Google introduces new features but oddly enough they don't work with their own Chrome browser, what gives?

I hate end-of-year work related deadlines.

Too many white russians coupled with a very heavy chicken parmigiana dinner that I made has made me extremely sleepy.

Good thing the Jets are playing one of the worst NFL teams this year, Buccaneers, while Sanchez is out, they really need to let Clemens go.

Demonoid is finally back online!

Looks like my 2010 vacation time is going to be spent mostly on attending various depositions and then arbitration.

Listening to some brand new spankin' Nitzer Ebb.

Dude, put you're cell phone away while you are peeing in the urinal next to me. How low class.

French maple toast bagel with honey butter makes Dayve a happy boy!

Accounting Department loses my expense report and associated receipts and I have to do the leg work to reconcile it? Arrrrrgggggghhhhhh!

Time Magazine rates the current decade as the "Decade From Hell". Honestly they must have very short memories or no encyclopedias.

Looks like I may be starting the new year off in depositions. I guess the expression "be careful what you wish for" can be applied here.

Dear Customer "X", I don't come to your office and tell you how to do your job, please grant me the same respect in what I do. Thank you.

T-minus 4 hours and 36 seconds before I crash into my bed. Dinner then time with family since I barely saw them last week.

Lots of dogs and cats splatting on the ground today... and predictably for the remainder of the week.

Today is a great day to reflect on how our country faced adversity in the most challenging ways, something that we now have seemed to lose.

1.5 hours left for my on call rotation and so far this week I put in 82.8 hours and drove 1515 miles. Can't wait to crash in my bed tonight

Just completed hour 73 of a very long work week and still have some more to go. More than likely I will surpass 80 hours this week alone.

16 hour workday yesterday ... looks like another today. Somebody please throw me some pity already!

I think I guilted my wife into cooking breakfast for me this morning. I wonder what else I can get her to do for me. :)

When I am on call I notice I can go from zero to easily annoyed in a matter of seconds. Looking forward to the new 2010 schedule.

Good grief boy, selling candy in front of an ATM shows laziness on your part. Do the door-to-door like I used to. PS. I don't want one.

If I see one more shirtless jackass taking a photo of himself in front of a mirror with a camera phone I am going to scream ... IDIOTS!

On call this week, started off Monday at 8:00 AM and ending at 11:00 PM, not a good sign for the rest of the week.
