Okay, okay!!
There I go again-- thinking that I don't HAVE to post!! Actually, its more like by the time I got home from work, I was too exhausted to do email, let alone getting the creative side of my brain motivated. The fact that I could sit at the computer and do the Quicken download was bloody amazing (thanks for the loan, Dr. K!). Wednesday was another 11-hour workday starting around 5am and today, there was a no-show conference call (again) at 5:30. The good news is that TOMORROW, I don't have to go to work at all! The director of our department came by and released us from hostage duty if we got everything cleaned off-- My desk couldn't GET any cleaner!! All agreements are signed or in some fashion, close to being signed and, I'm free to sleep in (after getting caught up on my sleep).
But wait, there's more: Remember, tomorrow is the only day that Brian has to go into the office!!! We couldn't have done this any better, on timing, if we'd PLANNED it!! ARGH!! Thankfully, his work will only be about a half-day's worth and, if he plans it right, I'll be sleeping and won't notice that he's gone!!
Netwidows
Some of you may have come into my website through a new link that's been set up to get to my "Musings". There are a group of women whose Husbands/Significant Others/Etc. are involved with a group of ranters and ravers who call themselves "The Daynotes Gang". These are grown men (not necessarily adults) who live, eat, sleep and dream computers! As a result, we are left to fend for ourselves or the ones we take care of during the course of the day and the time that our husbands/SOs/Etc's are online. As a result, we've decided to form an alliance of women and are calling ourselves "Netwidows". We have an email alias in addition to the website so if you want to drop by or send an email, please feel free to do so! We're always glad to have new visitors!
And Last but Not Least!!
Ordinarily, I wouldn't post a "joke" here but on my "Incoming" page; however, this is so good, I think even Doc Jim Crider is going to get a chuckle from it!
