IBB I have come to the realization that my sister-in-law (the one that is the
mother of my neice) is only nice to me when she wants something from me.
Otherwise, she considers me beneath here... I have concluded that I will not
paint her wall fresco or make her pillows in a fit of immature spit. These
observations where brought to my attention by my mother who found it rude of
said sister-in-law.

You really know you're a pack rat when you realize that your
e-mail archives run to a quarter-gigabyte, without any images
or sound files for bulk... and you haven't even had CD-R's to
store it all on.

jiffer, that's not immature. (well maybe the snit is). But deciding to use
your time to do favors for people who like you rather than donating it to
people who don't is a quite grown-up response to that kind of manipulation.

I have a sis in law like that too, Jiffer. Sucks, but it's manageable. I
just dodge her phone calls most of the time, because they're usually
last-minute babysitting calls.
re 136 or so... I am looking for a job in either teaching (English) or
communications. At this point I would do a secretarial type job in the
meantime. Although, it looks like I'll have a sweet tutoring gig lined
up and that will help tremendously.

I told her that I couldn't do the murals or the pillows till after things get
manageable... (wonderful excuse to be attending school, and having 2 study
guides to use as visuals)

More annoying than a bummer, but...
Most of the way through a long file transfer, a temporary glitch
cancelled it. For some reason I can't get compression to work
over the link nor can I boost the speed, so for assurance's sake
I have to do the whole thing over again the same slow, tedious way.

Drama on the front with the roomie. The strict 'no overnight guest" policy
in our dorm is creating quite the ruckus.

IBB one of the bicyclists on the AABTS One Helluva Ride had a stroke or
seizure and was pronounced dead at the scene by one of our (The Arrow) Ham
Operators (who is a doctor and drives one of the Sag wagons).

Yeah, Elvisfest in Ypsilanti. The A2 News had a big article about one of my
dojo brothers doing Elvis - Chris Solano. Does a great young Elvis.

Plenty of other folks saw him, however. We had to double the number of
lines to get into Elvisfest (take money, apply wristband, offer program)
and even then it was almost continuous work-as-fast-as-you-can from 2 to
6, with substantial lines backing up a few times.

Child overexposure - good thing all of my niece's friends are starting to come
back from vacation. I'm out of energy for playing with her.

I woke up this morning to the sound of about 120 books jumping off the
bookshelf in the other room to the floor at 7am.
(On the top shelf of the bookcase, books are stacked. 40 high, six stacks
across, two deep. Approx the top halves of all the front stacks were on the
floor. . .)
Ah well. This'll give me a nice chance to exercise the obsessive-compulsive
in me & nicely reorder the books. . . .

IBB I got the following report from the Discovery office today:
ALL THE POWERPRESENTER LAPTOPS IN THE PREMIUMS CLOSET WERE
STOLEN OVER THE WEEKEND, ALONG WITH MOST OF OUR OTHER COMPUTER HARDWARE
This is especially boggling to me because the office requires a keycard
for access, and the thief would have to have known both that the closet
had the laptops in it and where to look for the key to that closet.
In a strange twist, since I am in possession of a keycard which I grabbed
on my way out on Thursday evening, figuring I would use it to return
tomorrow to finish my work -- a keycard not officially issued to me -- I
may be considered a suspect in any investigation of the theft.

resp:185 Young Elvis-- that's cool. I always thought the Vegas Elvis
was a bit overdone.
