Famous last words

“Today should be a little bit of a back to normal day”

Yeah I should have known better than to say that. I blame the lack of sleep last night for that momentary lack of common sense. I’d forgotten just how new a couple of my fellow employees are and how many things they haven’t actually done for themselves yet. I’d also forgotten just how long it’s been since I had to do those things and how rusty I would be in trying to help them.

Have I mentioned lately how much I hate our envelope printer? That was a good two hours out of my day, again!

OK, I need to finish up some stuff and get out of here. Maybe I’ll get more sleep tonight? 🙂

    Ah I see where Jim is launching his new business, MindStorm Hosting. He’s even going to be a sponser at Gnomedex and bringing some stuff for the attendees.

    We spent the day down at Falls Creek State Park here in Tennessee, pics to come later, I’m sure. On the tech front, someone at work got one of those fake Microsoft emails with the “installer.exe” attached and forwarded it to me. Luckily for me, when he did that I was able to verify that…
