Had a good day with Jeane-baby. While she had her hair and nails done at Lord & Taylor, I shopped at Filene’s Basement and TJ Maxx. Got me a nice dress shirt for $9.97, and another one for $12.97. Also got me a beautiful Bill Blass sweater marked down from $42.00 to $16.00 on the … Read more
My flight to DC arrived at BWI at 6:30. By 7:00, I was on the MARC train into Union Station on the red line. Then, up to the Friendship Heights stop. Phyl was waiting in the street with one of the babies (poodles), and Jeane was up indoors waiting for me. Jimmy was asleep on … Read more
I’ve got to pack. I leave for DC tomorrow directly from work. James came over today and assessed my “honey-do” needs: 1) add a deck to the back of my townhouse 2) wallpaper the upstairs hall bathroom 3) paint the guest bedroom and repair wall & ceiling 4) adjust washer/dryer and pantry doors 5) install … Read more
I caved today on two accounts: 1) I took a visitor’s parking spot at work with my parents’ car, and 2) I just finished a bowl of Butter Pecan ice cream. Yum. Yum. Work was a drag today — I met with Mathis, which is rarely a positive experience. Today was no different. I had … Read more
I’m just getting home from work. Didn’t get the input I needed from the developer until nearly 9:30. Got my part done now at least. Rest in order… I am resisting having a bowl of Butter Pecan ice cream because I had a bag of chips at work that was labeled “Grab Size,” which means … Read more
<I know affirmation has two efs in it. With one more letter, the userid is flagged as too long, so I chose the most superfluous letter and lopped it off.> I created this journal this evening. I’m trying to read my friend wild_sun‘s journal, but I keep getting a “page not found” error message when … Read more
This song still makes me cry — eight years after the time I heard it as my wife and I began “separating our things” after 16 years of marriage. Our upstairs had two bedrooms with a bathroom in between with doors opening to each room so you could look right through. (I’m sure there’s some … Read more
Decent day at work. Got my Quality Plan done at the last minute, though couldn’t format it nicely because the networked version of Word was really fucked up. It’ll be easy to finish when I get back. I also got my time all recorded for the last several weeks. Don’t know about this ABT Workbench … Read more
I’m having to write this from memory now, as I didn’t write it Thursday night or Friday morning. It seems like the work day was uneventful. I did trekking during lunch. That’s always a good work out in spite of Lisa’s rambling. She was telling stories of driving that big, red, butch Dodge Ram she … Read more
I noticed that my IE Browser is not working, and thought, “This is the reason that BladeRunner validation error box is coming up blank. I tried to download IE 4.0 w/SP1 from Microsoft’s site, but they only had IE 4 w/SP2. I tried that but did not have a successful install. I asked Dewaine (reluctantly … Read more
