ION!! I just made calls to insurance to figure out filing claims on out-of network stuff. Painful, but it will eventually be oh so helpful. Now to great a "bill" template for my provider so I will have somethign to file.

Do I call in an order and walk around the corner to pick it up? Or do I call an order from the slightly-farther-away Chinese place and have it delivered?

No contest. Delivery.

Of course, that assumes they will deliver at this hour. I'm not even sure they're open.

Next question: what else do I get besides wonton soup? Szechuan chicken? Beef with broccoli? I need not-too-fattening comfort food. This is a conundrum.

Every computer I've touched today has broke in a new and different way. Solaris and Windows 2000 can bite me.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Suela, I'd go for something super-garlicky.

Heh. Sarameg, if it makes you feel any better my new boss just spent almost two hours trying to walk five of us newbies through setting up this system we'll need. Requires going to various websites, a citrix server, having a variety of logins and passwords, etc.

two hours later, not a one of us had managed to make it through. The one woman it was working for had gotten to a certain step, and then her internet connection decided to self-destruct! (I got stuck in a temp password/but won't let me change it/helpdesk is unhelpful loop, early on)

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I have days like that, sarameg. So far today hasn't been one of them, but I still have a while to go.

At first glance the mommy-plastic-surgery book sounds appalling, but if you are going to have some sort of procedure and you're worried that your kid is going to freak out about it, it may what the doctor literally ordered. Also, there's more reasons to get plastic surgery than sheer vanity, like having been burned or in an accident or correcting congenital problems. "More pretty" covers a lot of ground....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sick definitely calls for delivery.

My 3 o'clock meeting was postponed, since one of the participants was on her way to baggage check at the Las Vegas airport, so it was a little noisy. Conference call with three people on cells = awesome. Not really.
