Back in the saddle

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Back at work this morning. Chicago was great, it was a wonderful anniversary weekend for us. Thanks to all who wished us a happy anniversary, we enjoyed exploring Chicago together and we enjoyed getting to spend some time with an old High-School friend of Angela’s while we were in town as well. (Hi Amy!) Pictures will be coming, we arrived home after 11PM last night, and didn’t even unpack before heading to bed, so it may take us a day or two to get caught up with day-to-day life again!

Don’t have much time to write anything else, I believe that laptop that we sent out for repairs last week was just delivered back to us downstairs. Got to go see if it’s working or not! More later…

Later: Yes it does work, although they claim that after doing some “initial maintenance procedures” the laptop passed all diagnostics and was working fine again. I wonder what those “intial” procedures were? Probably just opening it up and cleaning it, maybe updating the BIOS?

    Keep this site handy. It has links to major employers in each metro area. Heck, just look at the list of employers in Columbus who have job postings on their websites. That should give me plenty of companies to start keeping track of! Follow these topics: Uncategorized

    Here’s some even more bad news, from people who obviously are just clueless, yet somehow wound up in positions of power: Driver’s license as De Facto National ID?.

Don’t know that I would use it here, there’s one tech, me, and people are pretty much used to just emailing me or stopping by my office. Asking them to move to filling…
