Buffistas babies kill me ded. I finally got to see the Mal pics, and OMIGOD SO CUTE and then there was the Lily whammy of OMIGOD BEAUTIFUL. Not a bad way to start a Monday at work, I'd say.
Unfortunately I have an icky personnel issue to deal with today that I've been putting off. The memo has to go to the University Librarian this week, so I'm determined to get it done today. I just gave myself a huge papercut printing out sections of the academic personnel manual that may or may not apply.
Fortunately, this evening I have a walk with my DH to look forward to. Every Monday night we walk together, and for the past 4-5 weeks we've been taking walks following old house tour routes from the Berkeley Architectural Heritage Association. While it would probably be more fun to go into all the houses, we're having a pretty good time poking our noses over the hedges of all the Bernard Maybeck and Julia Morgan houses.
I have FileMaker Pro on this computer, and sometimes I accidentally click on it instead of Windows Explorer, and I get freaked out because I have no bloody clue how to use it and I fear that one day I might have to find out because why else would it be on the machine?
Heh. it's a database. A database of dooooooom. Well, I like it better than MS Access, though THAT'S certainly a damning with faint praise.
The FM wonkiness has worked itself as mysteriously as it occurred. Seriously. A script that had NO BUSINESS not working properly, didn't, and I did the time tested "empty the trash for duplicates and close out of the program completely" thing and it worked again. Computers! They are not logical!

You put the "boo" in "boolean."
Just a quick update on our temp's sister (she of the car accident I wrote about last week). Sis is talking and being her "stubborn self", though she will be in the hospital for a while with a long spell of therapy post-discharge. Thanks for the ~ma. Powerful stuff, I tell ya.
My mom is back in the hospital - not sure if I mentioned that outside of lj. This is a planned admission while they take her off her cumadin so they can do a procedure for her blood clots. Instead of taking her boa this time, she took some plastic ivy to decorate her IV pole.
I use FileMaker every day and it has some serious bugginess. Drives me nuts, it does.

Me too, and I have to be all, ScriptWhisperer too. Like, if I don't get it, no one else will. Which sucks!
I LOVE Filemaker. But now I have to use Access and it sucks donkey balls.
I'm having a very MONDAY sort of day: I think my back is spasming again. Well, it started the day a little stiff and just keeps getting stiffer and stiffer.
You people and your Access and FileMaker. I have to use Lotus Notes.
Sparky, those walks sound WONDERFUL. It helps that I'm something of a Maybeck fangirl. My architectural history prof used to say that architects design buildings that look like themselves, and Maybeck [link] and his Palace of the Fine Arts [link] were a key example of this theory.
I think Lilybean looks like Paul but with Plei's gorgeous eyes. Too. Frickin'. Cute.
Yep, the babies are kids now. Leif will turn 4 this week, he'll be getting a bike for his birthday.
Good gift!
DH ditched work early today because the weather is so beautiful. The kids and I were out in the back yard--Owen was playing, I was washing down patio furniture while Liv watched from her bouncy seat--and he pulled up on his bicycle saying it was too nice to work.
So we all had lunch and I'm going to go to the library while he keeps the kids this afternoon.
