Ya gotta have friends...
First of all, I want to thank everyone who left comments and condolences on my last post on the loss of my cat, Ori. It was greatly appreciated. A lot of people wouldn't have a great deal of sympathy for the loss of a pet, but they fail to realize that they're more than just an animal. They're a devoted companion and loyal friend. So thanks to all of you.
Secondly, Ernesto is coming our way, but he's been downgraded to a tropical depression, so it'll probably be the strength of a thunderstorm by the time it gets to us. Mom's work is closed today because they feared the worst. I think it was a little presumptuous of them, but I guess they figured better safe than sorry. So mom is home now going through some things in her bedroom.
I'll contact the Human Resources Department tomorrow and see where I stand employment-wise. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Of course, if I do get hired, I'll have to cut out my night owl activities...
I joined a new community called mp3_share where I can look for some music. I found some already. There are some songs I'm looking for, but I don't know if I want to place a request just yet or not...
Hopefully Ernesto won't knock out any power or anything. If so, well then I wont be online tomorrow probably. I doubt it, though.
Yesterday I've been burning some stuff from my computer onto CD-ROM's so that I can free up some space on my hard drive. There's some torrents I want to open up, but I need the space first. I'll finish more of it today.
Trivia of the day: Because microwave ovens cook so fast, microbes can survive on the surface of the food. To counteract this problem, cover the cooking dish with another dish of glass or ceramic, not plastic. The steam that accumulates will heat the surface, thus killing any surviving microscopic critters.
