I have a screening call on Friday for a job I applied for Monday, after agonizing over the contents of the cover letter for a week. This was the one where they asked for a salary range which I completely forgot to add. Ha! I expect it will come up Friday.

Nice! As soon as possible in the conversation, ask them what the range is -- see if you can beat them to the punch.

Have hit the "sick of matzah and related foods" part of Passover.

Not me! Looking forward to my pastrami on matza dinner, in fact.

Have hit the "sick of matzah and related foods" part of Passover.

You and me both. I'm not quite at "I would cut a bitch for a bagel", but I'm way beyond "thank god I eat kitniyot or I wouldn't have made it this far."

Arthur Chu continues to be great, this time about the Hugos, and in the process teaching me stuff about the Washington Monument!

Nice! Four for you, Arthur Chu.

We had a brief window today where it almost was sunny, but the fog wasn't having that at all and it rolled back in even harder. It's cold and there's no visibility, so I think it's an excellent night for me to go home and do nothing but eat leftovers and catch up on TV.

CBS's story on the first full-time woman NFL official began with the fact that she is a wife and mother of three. It went on to say that, counting her day job, she now has three full-time jobs.

Aargh.

Oh dear lord. No doubt they think they are helping.

I learned this year that I cannot pass by kosher-for-passover marshmallows without buying a bag. I tried and failed. And now I can't stop eating chocolate macaroons with said marshmallows, so I guess that worked out.

Also, my calendar tells me I should be changing my oil today. I am not.

I just sent an email to my supervisor reporting a senior tech, one of the people I ask for help from, for essentially incompetence. He transferred a case that he didn't have time to finish to me, and when I called the customer to continue the reinstall the senior tech had started, the customer told me not to uninstall anything, no one had said that was going to happen, and that people were still working and didn't have time to stop. In other words, he hadn't gotten confirmation to make such a big change.

He's recommended draconian measures before for things that I didn't think were that big, and I've gotten other senior techs to agree and to recommend simpler fixes. I've long thought he wasn't competent enough to do the job, but I've just dropped hints and given less than glowing surveys. But when a customer gets that panicky, I couldn't let it go. So I ratted him out to my supervisor, who at least is someone I trust.

We shall see.

Motherfucker. First I discover I need to install an update that will take 40 minutes to download and then the cats take out the Internet by wrestling and THEN I can do a last backup to attach to the new computer to migrate the data. I might have it working by tomorrow night....

And now it's saying 5 hrs. I give up.
