The IT side of my job is often really weird. (Or as I'm always saying, "IT. Gotta love it." Kind of like my IT icon... heh...)

For example, on October 11 (last Saturday) I had to Remote Access as Kristen (who started back at the festival today), so I could change her 'Out of Office' message (at the request of another Staff member). No. I am not ( Read more... )

Cleopatra (who is rarely ever called that) is June and Jim's INDOOR cat. Cleo (which is what I call her for short) adores me. She always has. So it's perfect for me to be the one to look after her while they're away.

(No matter how inconvenient that's been at times... smile...)I was taking care of her on the night before our parade, as well as the ( Read more... )

Earl was here again working today. He got the door in the hallway (furnace access) hung. (He custom cut it to fit) And he got the vent in it, too. He also created and hung the filter access door (in Marilyn's mistressmarilyn bedroom). And finished up the drywall and did a first coat of mud. Tomorrow he'll sand that and do the second coat ( Read more... )

Earl has done an amazing job on the drywall work. He fixed both walls, using new boards and the old chunks of drywall. He also cut down a door to fit in the hall and hung it. He's having to build a small 'door' in Marilyn's mistressmarilyn bedroom that we can open to reach the place where you switch out the furnace filter ( Read more... )

I just had lunch, happily. I was starved! We didn't have a bite to eat yesterday until after getting home from the vet (after getting home from work at the office). And then we didn't eat all that much. (I had half a baked potato and some Corn Nuts. And I'm really not sure Corn Nuts qualify as actual food ( Read more... )

Marilyn's mistressmarilyn laptop came first thing this morning -- which was a good thing, considering I stayed here all day yesterday waiting for it to be delivered!

Sister Sue got good news from the dentist yesterday. (She and I have the same dentist, by the way.) Dentist Mary put in two new titanium posts and re-cemented her partial -- so she's not 'toothless ( Read more... )

I stayed home this morning to continue working on the eNewsletter that needs to go out tomorrow. (No, it's not quite finished yet! But it will go out on time tomorrow, never fear!)

Marilyn mistressmarilyn and were slated to have lunch with Tom (at 1:00 p.m.), so I had him come by to get me on his way to the office ( Read more... )

I went in to the festival office today. I've got tons that I need to do there that I can't do from home, so I really need to put in more hours there. Most of the work is IT-related, but some of the website stuff does require me to be in the office, too. (Mostly photo-related, as we keep our photos in big books that show the proofs and have CDs full ( Read more... )

We got (much needed) manicures and pedicures today...

I know most women act like pedicures are fun and relaxing, but Marilyn mistressmarilyn and I agree that it's just part of the sheer torture that's both manicures and pedicures. (sigh ( Read more... )
