Updated foofer team and wiki page. I think I'll drop to every three days and see how that goes.

Updated foofer list and wiki page. Have been working on quiz stuff; this is my week to get as much of that done as I can.
On vacation, but had to go into office because after recent computer upgrade? Can't get into office link from home. Weird citrix thing happening which I'll have to deal with later. So, had to figure out calendar as 2 unexpected travel issues came up. Dealt with and it wasn't too awful (beautifulday) just wish I had my week entirely free.
Making pot roast yesterday, garbage disposal backed up right in the middle of it. And the roast, while cooked to instructions -- infact I cooked 10 minutes longer than instructions -- was still not actually done completely. (I have made a note that timing in instructions gets you rare meat and so to add even more time to cooking for next time.) As it is, by the third warm up, the roast will be perfect and the veggies utter mush. I have a clever plan to heat the roast separately and warm the veggies in the microwave, although I have to admit I don't understand how you can heat something in the microwave but not cook it more, the way a stove does, but you can actually cook something in the microwave and it goes from raw to cooked. :shakes head in utter bewilderment at this particular technology:
I haven't done what I planned yesterday or today, but I did get things done I wanted to. I am about where I want to be for the week, and all else is wicker! Off to the quizzes now.

Updated the Foofer List and the wiki. Minimal changes. I am probably going to change the "easy" project soon as no one is touching it. I should look at it myself and see if it's all tables or indices or what. :D I've been concentrating on Documentos, kick that onward and remove from our oldest list AND make Julie happy.
Today was/is 10K day and lpryor created a great challenge and I did the wikis for it and my eyes are burning. Lots of typing, etc. etc. But really fun to try to keep up AND see what all people did. Now if I can just get garweyne to put his long list into order by round and not have to go look it all up myself...
Rooms in order at home, garage ready for influx of boxes, 1/3 boxes down there. I'm carrying the rest down as I go and packing up. Packed up the stole to donate to the Humane Society and picked out, I think, the colors I want for the bedrooms. I'm ready to talk to Art next week (call around 4:30 to arrange for after work out).

Overdue update, I was trying for yesterday, but not able to make it. Foofer list updated, wiki updated. Not enough time for that either. Need to go work on 10K challenge pages, no time. Quizzes? No time.
I have to leave today for business trip and come back tomorrow. Timing not great with biology, but it never is. Trip next month will have same problem. Why always why? I can think of one trip I had to take in the last five years that didn't have this conflict. I do not like travelling when I feel sick. Lots to prep for visit there and parallel review here on Friday. And guess what? No time. :grin:

Happy day before St. Patrick's Day. Updated Foofers list and wiki. Lots of wiki updating. My eyes feel like they are going to burn out of my head. Allergans freed today as lots of sun after lots of rain.

Updated foofers list and wiki page with the basics. Life has been hectic and not much time for DP recently, bum. Not even mentoring. Too tired and too much to do at work to take even a small break. Travelling again tomorrow and next week and as Lynn reminded me - now I'm missing the big going-away celebrations - both of them! Oh dear but what can ya do?

Updated foofer list and wiki pages - a few things moved along. Good stuff. I finally broke down and got cable modem connection and so now can apparently spend my entire life on the computer. It's so fancy and fast.
Work is crazy insane at the moment but I'm coping. Travelled three days the previous week and two days this week and one day next week when normally I don't travel at all. Three days prep work for the travel and two days to do the reports... I have spent a total of 11 working days this month when I didn't have 11 days to spare. Sigh.
Went out to eat and a movie with a friend today - nice!

Well, still can't manage to do every three days. Updated foofer list and what few have changed off of that. Work still crazy busy. Hope to have actual time next week.

Posted Foofer List today and updated wiki. Too tired to do so yesterday - spending so much time putting puzzles together... may have been the reason. :D But it was relaxing, in that all my neck and shoulder and eye muscles are strained and dancing puzzle pieces appear before my mind's eye as I try to go to sleep. But! I didn't think about work once.
Life is a little calmer now. Most of the unexpected travels are over. The one expected week away is ... uh ... a week away. I leave on what appears to be easter, a point that upsets many but which is a :shrug: to me except now I worry about traffic. If last year is any indication, I'll be able to do a little keeping up with the forums and some light foofing on my main projects but that's it.
The cable modem is indeed as addictive as I thought. I couldn't do online jigsaw puzzles before. Now I can. Uh-oh! John got an ipod and can't get itunes to work right on his pc. very cranky and I don't blame him. nothing like spending $250 for something that doesn't work out of the box as macs are advertised to do. I remind him that it is the PC part that is having problems (ha!)
And now back to Index to 2007
