Cancergiggles

Cass of Cancergiggles passed away on January 6th of this year. Cass wrote about his 5 year ordeal with colon cancer, which spread to his lungs and other organs. Cass was a brave man who didn’t feel sorry for himself, when he had every right to be. He leaves behind a wife and daughter.

I believe his writing will inspire or help others dealing with cancer or taking care of someone with cancer.

I’ve pulled this important message from Cass’ blog, which seems to sum up the way he looked at getting through this illness, and life:

You get just one crack at this. You can’t die happy if what you leave is a world of shit and grief. If at some stage in the future my name comes up and it elicits a wry smile from someone that’s good. If it makes somebody laugh, you’ll hear me jumping on the clouds.

Buffalo Chicken Chili

I never have been one for chicken in things that beef so obviously belongs in. Like Chili. But we saw this made on Rachael Ray’s show and decided to make it.
This has a distinct buffalo wing flavor to it, thanks to the hot sauce. Instead of the coriander, I used chili powder. Who has coriander sitting around in their pantry anyway?
I also garnished the chili with some bleu cheese crumbles, which was really good (I love bleu cheese!) If you hate blue cheese, leave it out. It will still be good!
Instead of ground chicken, I used half ground turkey (cause I had it on-hand) and half chopped cooked chicken. If you do it this way, cook the chicken in water in the microwave till it’s done. Chop it up. Follow the recipe for the ground turkey part. Put the cooked chicken in the pot when you put the vegies in. Works great, and I was glad to have that texture, instead of just ground meat.
While you’re cooking, drink the rest of the beer. 🙂
Oh, and if this is a main course, serve it in a bowl, of course, but also double up the recipe if you’re serving more than 3 people.

The Things People Say

For some silly reason, someone at work thought it would be a good idea just to toss out names of people who were skinny and people who were slightly overweight. I made the “slightly overweight list”. This was coming from the 350+ pound man.

I personally have nothing against weight. I think some things are better left unsaid, though, like judging a coworker’s weight…. out loud.

I spent the rest of the day trying to excuse that. I mean, people say dumb stuff all the time that could hurt people’s feelings.

Like the lady who said, the night of our all-night upgrade, “Now you’ll know what it’s like to not have a weekend.” Ok. We’re not overnight workers most of the time, but our network admin works plenty of weekends upgrading servers when no one is around. Plenty of IT people already have a good idea of what it’s like to not have a weekend.

What’s a dumb thing you’ve heard someone say lately?

Corporate Life, or Not

So I didn’t get the job I interviewed for at the big trucking firm. It’s funny, because the first two days after the interview, I was very much for the cushy corporate job. Well, not so cushy, because it was just another tech job, but it was in a fancy huge office with wooden walls and a horse fountain inside.

By day 3, I was thinking, “Do I really WANT a corporate job again?” I mean, all the rules… all the little nitpicking, being watched all day… having to go back into a call center… NAW!

By day 3, I began to appreciate the little frills my job offers, even though the pay is not quite what I would like it to be (or what I’ve been accustomed to, but we’ve been able to manage so far). Most of all, my coworkers are actually acting like they like me, so it’s becoming comfortable.

And, hey, our office will never win any beauty prize. Some time ago, the carpet was replaced, but only in the hallways… not under the cubicles (or within them, for that matter) or anything. Half the space is hot; half is cold. Sometimes the workers upstairs cave in our ceiling, but what the heck.. it’s home.

And there’s not too much killing everyone to make a buck or rip people off, like the old insurance business was. The mission is respectable. People are helped, even when they can’t afford the help. It’s a good thing.

So, no corporate job for me, and I can’t say that I’m too terribly sad about it. 🙂

Darn Cold

This morning at 6am, it was 3 degrees F above zero. Now it is just 1. The fact is that once it gets below, say 15 degrees F, it doesn’t matter too much any more.

When you go outside, it feels like you’re in the back of an incredibly cold freezer.

Last night, after being outside for 5 minutes, it felt like my jeans were frozen.

Seriously.

I need some warm air.

Yesterday, we got our electricity bill. Keep in mind we have a gas furnace. But our electric bill was what it normally is when it’s the dead of summer and we’ve been running the air conditioner all day.

The culprit? The darned electric heater running downstairs all the time. It’s darn cold down here, only because our clothes dryer is letting in TONS of cold air.

The fixit thing we need to get:
