The Santa Ana’s are blowing again. Nice and strong too from what I can tell. I’d like very much to blow off work today, and go down to the beach to go sailing.
Why do the Santa Ana’s always happen during the middle of the week the past few years? It can’t just be to torture [...]
Consumer Price Index for Los Angeles, CA July 2004 to July 2005
The CPI rate changed 4.1% from July 2004 to July 2005. Must remember this when my review comes in, to make sure a raise, if any, is higher than that. I want at least some real world raise, not just a inflation matched raise.
[edit] [...]
Ok, 4:20am wake up call this morning. It was the usual database error. I ran the repair that Access suggested using.
That has worked well in the past here, but it doesn’t *solve* the problem. Just starts everything, which is what we want.
I looked at the file size. 250 kB or so. I say screw [...]
Gah…
Phone call at 4am. I worked them through it on the phone, now I’m going back to bed… For all of 45 more minutes. Joy oh joy!
I really thought I had it resolved yesterday.
I really don’t have much to post lately
The thunderstorm yesterday was nice. But I miss the smell of the rain evaporating off the hot desert floor. Nothing beats that smell, at least in my experience. The smell of burned 2 cycle motor oil in gasoline is a close second, though I think most of you [...]
I’ll be flying out to North Carolina on Monday afternoon. It was either that, or the Red Eye tomorrow night at 10:30pm, and I wasn’t going to do that. I got told I was leaving on Wednesday night this past week.
bah. I’m not too happy about the short notice but that is the way it [...]
let’s see…. left work at 7pm, with the machine still down, and unable to fix it with tech support over the phone. it’ll be there on Monday.
Tomorrow, it’s just Andy and me at this point for the boat trip to Catalina, that means no water skiing.
If anyone wants in, call me any time tonight, [...]
Ok, I’m [____________] this close to being pissed off.
So’s the other person. So we ended our conversation when we could, and will come back to it.
I understand his current position, in his shoes I’d feel similar.
But.
We had agreed upon a course of action (and so I thought I heard), that at a certain time I [...]
No phone call at 4 this morning. I don’t know what this omen means for today. Hopefully, a nice easy day, with no difficult challenges.
Sure…..
I am very unfocused today. Probably a lot to do with the 4:22 phone call this morning (2 days in a row now!). At least I was able to fix it remotely by 4:40, and be back in bed.
But I didn’t fall asleep again…. so I really didn’t buy me any rest. Guess I should [...]
