Thursday night

Our internet is down AGAIN! I’m so mad. We only have one choice, which I guess is better than no choice at all, but I’m paying good money!

I remembered to wear my pedometer all day. And I racked up over fifteen thousand steps today. I wonder what is considered normal for most Americans. I think I’m going to do a Google search whenever my internet comes back on. Throughout the day I keep looking at it (well, maybe 5 or 6 times) just to see how I’m progressing. This Sunday I’m not going to the gym. I think I’ll be six or seven thousand steps short.

We said goodbye to Chris again this evening. While he was waiting to go to the airport, we watched Grand Torino again. Earlier in the evening, I went to the auditor’s bonfire/hangout. Even though the weather is getting warmer, the nights are kind of chilly. While I was there Leland tracked me down and had a very urgent request from one of our customers. One of the packages that I’m working on had ‘something’ wrong with the initial statement of work. Beats me whatever it was. If they ask for 16 horses, I try to get them 16 horses. It doesn’t matter to me what it is they need or how many they ask for. So I had to go back in to work and do some research on the initial statement of work. I spent about an hour on it and don’t think I found the root cause of the problem, but I was able to give him a head start on where to look.

And my boss made me mad today. She was accusing me of using the “copy and paste” method of producing my documents. I have to create five different documents, all asking for the same thing, but using different words. Of COURSE I copy and paste. And then I mess with the format and fix the verb tenses and that kind of stuff. So what was up with the accusatory tone in her voice? I was ticked. There’s only so many ways I can say “sixteen horses”. My stomach started hurting again today. I don’t know if it was stress or what. I also haven’t been very disciplined to remember to take my Prevacid (or whatever it is now) every day.

Dang. The internet is still not working. I don’t know why. The little monitors down in the icon tray show that I’m connected to “Network 36”. I should be on. I’m going to turn the computer off and try again. And while that’s happening, I’m going to grab some Prevacid.

** 5 minutes later **

Poo. Still nothing.

And nothing now either. I’ll try again in the morning.

And it didn’t work in the morning, but it’s working now (Friday night).
