it is always a good time to quit smoking. GO YOU!!

the moving stuff will work out, if you don't get everything you need for decorating before the move, you can do it in the weeks after - make your list of the absolutely positively needs to be done stuff and figure out how they are going to happen first.

t is always a good time to quit smoking. GO YOU!!

I actually said this outloud before I read msbelle's post. She is wise.

I predict failure. I didn't bring smokes with me to work, and I have an appointment at 3pm to see about a nicotine inhaler to help me out a bit.

The salad I bought today was $3 cheaper than the salad I bought Friday. Screw you Metro Cafe, you and your over-priced lettuce.

also? note to self - MAKE AND BRING YOUR OWN DAMN SALAD!!1!! which will be at least half the cost and organic.

I don't know that I can drive a truck.

Last time I moved, it was with a small truck, bigger than a van but smaller than the 20-foot Uhaul kind. (I think it was, in fact, 13 feet.) And I was pleasantly surprised with how driveable it was: not too wide for the lane, fine on the turns, not weird with acceleration or braking. The only comment I had on it was that the seats were waaaay bouncy, and that the cab of the truck smelled like feet. But, I think that's true of all trucks.

Now, it was barely big enough for all my stuff, or anyway I had a couple carloads of incidentals. But that is a function of my pack-rat issues rather than of the truck itself.

Driving a truck, especially on narrow-ish streets can be nervous-making at first, but eventually you get a sense of how much space you're taking up and it gets a lot easier.

eta: If you have to maneuver in a small space (especially backing up) it's a good idea to get someone outside to guide you....

I predict failure.

Don't predict. Just do. If you fail, do again. But wait until actual failure before dealing with it.

Gnargh. I know a guy who can do hard drive recovery for me for cheap. And I need my data. But the guy...let's just say he's one of the guys that tried to extort money from Tom Cruise over his wedding photos. msbelle, you just got a data recovery quote--you know how insane prices are. This is the only possible way I can afford it.

I just don't want to make the call.

yeah, I am kinda ignoring my data issues at the moment. a guy at work is getting me a program to try - If I get that soon I will pass it on to you. Otherwise, I need to go to the trusty mac store adn just pay up, but I think I'd like to know if a tax refund is coming before I do that.

Sudden attack of apathy. Have work to do. Cannot bring myself to care.

Random health news - apparently, taking Ginkgo biloba and ibuprofen at the same time can result in "Fatal intracerebral mass bleeding."

Damn.
