in absencia
Since I have been silent on LJ, changes have been made. I have moved again and hopefully have a permanent address for the first time in over a year-fingers not yet uncrossed. I find myself in an unbelievably awesome apartment in a mansion on Lasalle Ave. which is on the National Historical Register. My rent includes all utilities including basic cable and wireless internet and access to an exercise room and two beautiful common areas within the "Chateau".
I also find myself, although outside my favorite Whittier neighborhood, still in ward 6 - now in the Stevens Square-Loring Heights neighborhood (small area, high density).
I'm now testing my internet connection which seems just fine. I was unconnected for a time thinking I would install additional memory which I had purchased to my Mac before reconnecting, but found I could not remove the panel I needed to remove in order to install. Stupid simple mechanical! Screw spinning, no disconnect. Suggestions welcomed....Hell, needed. I was so ready to do all the IT stuff only to find I'm too stupid to even to the mechanics! I need to install extra memory so I can install Snow Leopard & Magic Mouse. FRUSTRATED!!!!
Oh, and being disconnected, I apologize if I missed responding to anything sent my way.
End of bad stuff.
Continuing Good Stuff: My employer is embracing ROWE (results only work environment) which means that I will be able to work flexible hours and, if the connection/speed is sufficient, from home. Since I'm in no position to retire soon, this makes me very happy. Change=Good.
And the Iowa Hawkeyes just won the Orange Bowl!! 2010? So far, so good.
