Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Basically, it's people who aren't that knowledgeable about websites going in and pretending they are ... and refusing to let me either help, advise, or just do it myself. Meanwhile, the head person pointed out something that had been "forgotten" ... but I was able to say that I hadn't forgotten it, but that I needed the site to go live before setting some links (I could probably extrapolate the URLs, but I'd rather wait until the mess goes live).

I'm leaving for the dentist - have a good afternoon everyone!

Only 11 more hours until Carbonite finishes transferring my files to the new computer.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I keep meaning to install Carbonite! Are you happy with it, sj? I can't decide between Carbonite and CrashPlan.

P-C, I have been so far, but ask me again when I am finished transferring my account to the new computer.

Grr. I thought I had set all my sleep modes to never, but I didn't so now I have to start the restore files process again. Also, in case anyone was wondering, it takes a long time to peel the skins off of three cups of chickpeas.

It's 8PM, I haven't left the house today (though I did finally shower a few hours ago!) and I'm so sleepy I'm contemplating bedtime. I worry I'll wake up at 1AM and not be able to sleep, though. Hrm.

Also, can someone motivate me to clean my room? It needs it like whoah

Thrive to spite them

Some of these craigslist scammers don't even try. The description claims new hardwood floors! The pictures show white wall to wall carpeting. Upgraded kitchen! (kitchen looks old and from another apartment) and Non conforming layout, apartment looks like a open floor plan.

At least the price was in the right ball park.

Happy Friday everyone! website is live ... and now I'm doing clean-up ... which includes tracking down the images oh-so-smart(not!)-boy uploaded and getting them down to a reasonable size. To top it off, he refuses to put images in the "images" section when he uploads them - no, no, this genius (sarcasm font) puts them in the "documents" section ... which is intended for PDFs, Word docs, etc. Why? guess it's because he knows better than anyone else (sorry if my sarcasm is dripping on your page ... I'll clean up aftermyself ... UNLIKE genius-boy).

Our wings are not tired.

I really hope there is a finish in site, Todd. And ever more so I hope there is a bonus in your future, or at the very least a vacation!

Thanks! we're doing clean-up, so that's going to be protracted ... and someone else is handling some functional issues (like, when people forget their passwords, trying to get it to send them the info ... not that it ever did realiably, but ....). No bonus, but I'm taking off a bunch of Fridays ... which should be restful.

Got the first really good night's sleep for quite a while.

It says something when the high point of your week is a trip to the dentist (teeth are fine, but I need to floss better).
