I'm trying to connect an OS-9 machine to my OS-X network to pull off some files before wiping drive. Not looking good. I'm computer savvy, but not THAT savvy.
Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
FTP from the OS 9 machine into the OS X machine.
first it has to connect. That is where I am running into the problem.
I'd go to the hardware store and look for a microplane
ahh cool! I can walk over to Home Depot after work.
t pokes head into thread, waves
Hello, all. I have finished calling all 15 families for the introductory conversation about the CTY course. Yay! Of course, I only reached five of them so far, so I'm expecting ten more calls today and tomorrow. Bummer.
The calls always end up being fine, but I feel like such an idiot every single time. What is up with irrational phone fear? I mean, seriously. I am a trained professional calling 4th and 5th graders and their parents. This should not be intimidating. @@ at myself.
Anyway. I have now finished reading all three books and can now start re-reading each one along with the students. This week is the first half of Matilda. The virtual classroom opens its doors tomorrow. I really hope it ends up being fun. I think it will be.
Yay for overcoming phone fear, Kristin. I leave the worst answering-machine messages. I often say something odd and then try to make up for it and end up rambling on when all I really needed to say was, "call me back."
I'm finding Inkheart quite compelling but I'm less than 100 pages in so far.
I am avoiding cleaning by doing job-search stuff. I figure I will be so irritated at answering all 8 professional teaching statementes (in 300 characters or less!) by the time I get done with my coffee that I will WANT to go do the dishes.

Oh, my god. I do this, too!!! I fancy myself someone who has at least 2 brain cells to rub together, but whenever I get someone's voice mail, I turn into a drooling, babbling idiot whose brain cells have just gone walkabout.
I leave great voice mails. I should have a service or something.

See, and this is the problem. I had to leave TEN voicemails to families paying good money to have me teach their kids. I wrote a little bullet-point list to try to keep myself on track, but I am sure I sounded like an idiot at least part of the time. Ah, first impressions.
