You know, when you work for a University these last few weeks before start of fall term are crazy. It's really annoying when co-workers call in sick. Especially when you know they are faking. Worse when two of them do it. Really cheeses me off ( Read more... )

Trying again as I couldn't post this yesterday ( Read more... )

So I went in for eight hours overtime Saturday, then 8 more today. I was supposed to have an extra long weekend but not only did I lose Saturday and today. They changed the schedule today so I have to go in tomorrow too. I moved a ton of paper Saturday (and I have the sore muscles, to prove it) and worked like mad today. I think the concrete ( Read more... )

*BDM: My four day weekend (because I work next weekend) is gone. I have to go in tomorrow to move paper, then Monday because 'anything could happen'. One of the machines is on the wrong side of the room and it took mgmt. two days to decide I was right about that and then to decide the electricians needed to rewire the room so we could move it. I ( Read more... )

So I was seriously kidding about the *new* space when I said it was a quarter the space. In actuality I think a quarter of the space is a tad optimistic. It's tiny and the machines are all in the wrong spots. It's a square space not rectangular as we originally thought and planned. It's bad. Really bad. When my boss said 'smile' my reply was 'You ( Read more... )

So got the part installed but the drive just disappears, even in XP. Something simple I am sure but my brain is too sick to figure it out. I guess I am going to have to actually join the forum for my motherboard and ask some questions. *sigh* I was really hoping the ATA-IDE converter was going to be a simple answer. It will really annoy me to lose ( Read more... )

I have a cold. Just a cold but I feel like crap. Generally I am lucky and rarely get sick enough to stay home(or is that unlucky) but I took three days off. That is more sick time then I have taken in three years, but here we are day four and I still feel like a semi is driving around in my head. Very annoying. I have to go back Monday as we are ( Read more... )

I spent a fair bit of time this weekend thinking of food. We planned a month of dinners which is not as easy as it sounds. Sunday I made the much loved Chicken Marsala (substituting roasted red peppers for the fungus). I also tried this weird squash/carrot puree and chard. This was my first experience with Chard (red), combining it with pecans, ( Read more... )

OMG he never shuts up! *Stabs myself with fork*

Now I need a new Power Supply. $65 *sigh*

First though an odd thing happened on friday that I am still not over. I decided to head over to the Future shop to buy some dvds and cd for backing up 'Harvey'. Stupid boy #5 decided to come with me? First I thought he was just going out of the room at the same time as me. Then I thought he was going to the corner or something but he didn't he ( Read more... )
