The Actual Tina The Techwriter

It occurs to me that some of my readers may not be acquainted with the actual Tina The Techwriter. Here is a picture of her. The description of her on the United Media website is "She's the technical writer in Dilbert's engineering department. Tina believes any conversation within hearing distance is intended as an insult to her profession and her gender. She strives to maintain her dignity while surrounded by engineers who don't have a proper respect for her work."

I hope you are all having a great day! Here is a strip featuring Tina for you to enjoy:

Happy New Year!

As the holiday season winds to a close, I thought I would post a new year blog post. 2007 was a wild year for us and from the looks of it, 2008 will be no different. Here is a picture of all the kids on Christmas Eve.

I don't have a lot of resolutions this year. I'd like to have at least one of my work projects to go on longer than 6 months. As with every year, I'd like to shed 20 lbs (as of this writing, I have very little motivation for this project, so we'll see what happens.) I'd also like to see a few more foreign films since it is unlikely that I'll actually travel anywhere abroad this year.

I start a new project on Monday, and we have a new babysitter. So we are starting this year out with a lot of "new." Wish us luck. If anything interesting happens, I'll be sure to post. Until next post, Have a Very Happy Healthy Prosperous New Year!
