I had a phone call and they seem to have stopped. I'm still going to listen to some music, though.

I'm hungry, tired, and need a shower. I don't have time to deal with all those things while ltc naps. So, since I also have cramps I'm going to grab an energy bar and take a nap.

Two out of three ain't bad!

Mac did his school registration alone at his request. He did not ask to get into a fine art like he was supposed to, he did not sign up for the bus, AND HE SIGNED UP FOR TENNIS WITHOUT TELLING ME!

He needs a full year of a fine art to graduate, he does not need a PE. Grrrr.

Art is now full and the school has been instructed that he is NOT ALLOWED to drop out of tennis.

I have to go up to the school to do the bus sign up.

This MF kid. When will he learn that I will find out everything. The counselor and I are now buds and he is on a tight leash. No schedule changes without my consent.

That sounds very frustrating msbelle! What year is he now? (Does he LIKE tennis?)

Facebook is advertising a local neurosurgeon to me. Does FB know something I don't??

I'm willing to bet it's not like Target knowing you're pregnant, but maybe it is! (Probably the doctor is just targeting geographically.)

I can only say this here because I know it's wrong: My team member's baby turned one last weekend. Why is she still pumping?? And what is she doing in there without her computer???

And what is she doing in there without her computer???

If she's got a one-year-old, she's probably sleeping.

Maybe! She did stop falling asleep in meetings after a couple of months back.

Sometimes you gotta keep pumping after you wean. I am given to understand. Bodies being unpredictable and all.

And weaning can happen any time - six months, a year, two years. In many cultures, up to three years.

I know, I know -- I am not actually judging her breastfeeding practices. She's just not a stellar worker, so I am generally annoyed at her and this is just one more thing. Obviously I would never say anything to her!

Well, the continuing sage of my f*ked up computer ...

Yesterday I discovered something I needed to do but couldn't, since our website is incompatible with newer browsers. This morning, found out another. The only solution is to give me back my old computer (since they hadn't gotten around to wiping the hard drive yet). Somehow, the new one is not only incompatible with a lot of what I need to do, but it's slower than the old one; tech support guys say this is impossible ... but somehow it still is.

And it turns out that the problems with our email come from the fact that they moved all our info from the server to "the cloud" ... and didn't get it synched before wiping the server. So there's this frantic running around trying to get email and calendars going (yup, office-wide calendar is no longer there ... which means we're having to rely on word of mouth to figure out where someone is). I've suggested messenger pigeons, semaphores and smoke signals as alternative communication modes ... although the pigeons would get messy for internal communications and I suspect the smoke signals would violate building codes.

Obviously, there was a problem with the planning.

And as to why we're moving everything to "the cloud" ... I suspect because the guy who's in charge of our office tech support heard all the cool kids were doing it.
