Short day

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Short day today, we’re just working a half-day and then I’m off for the rest of the week! Of course, Angelahas been the one battling a cold/flu type thing all week and she has to work a full day today and Friday, so I wish there was some way I could switch with her and let her get better. On the other hand, there is always the possibility that whatever has been ailing her for the last few days is going to begin to ail me over this time out of the office, so maybe it’ll be a good thing to have some free time. More than likely, I’ll be fine all weekend and I’ll get sick come New Year’s and our trip to Louisiana that next weekend to visit her grandfather. It always seems to work out that way..:)

I suspect that blogging will be light to non-existent over the next few days, as I don’t have any tech projects planned for this time, but you never know when something will strike me and make me want to post it here!

In the meantime let me wish you all a happy and safe holiday!

    A stunning display of incompetence, that is. I get on the Time Warner support people quite a bit, because as a RoadRunner subscriber we’ve had our share of difficulties with them. Just to show that it’s not us, the person I hired as part of Angela’s Xmas gift to do a new graphic look for…

    There just something completely frustrating about discovering that an Acrobat Reader plug-in is causing random problems with various PC’s around the office.
