The past couple days, I've been using the network connection in a vacant office to install and configure Win 7 on a workstation that had its hard drive go splat last week. It's a window office, and I have to say that even with the grey, dreary weather here, being able to look outside a bit during the day makes a difference in my mood.
Unfortunately, I don't think that it's going to help much unless a small miracle related to the upcoming move comes through. I can't take my tiger oscar fish, Bubba, with me to the new apartment. I've been trying to find a new home for him but haven't had any luck. While pet stores will often take small fish from folks, they don't generally have the space for a biger one like an oscar. A week and a half ago, I talked to the 'fish guy' who used to work at the local Petco. He's now a manager at another Petco down in Fairfax. He said his boss knows someone who is often after large fish. I've been hoping to hear from Fish Guy since and did text him yesterday. So far, his boss hasn't heard from the person. Time is running out for me.
So, a little bit ago, I ordered a 4oz bottle of clove oil from Amazon. I seriously don't want to kill Bubba, but without a new home for him, it may be my only remaining option. I really don't want to have to do this.
