Friday took way too long to get here!

Not that it’s been a rough week, but just a very long week!

I got Kelly to make the birthdy cake for George and I was able to surprise him with it and a present! I got him a DVD that he’s been wanting. Silent Running. I think that he and Kevin ate half the cake in less time than it took to sing happy birthday and blow out the candles.

Our normal flow of customers were in full gear this week. Our one problem child must have called five times. I handed him off to Kevin twice. Funny, but as soon as I did he seemed to remember how to delete his cookies. Hm….

Oh, and a friend of George’s died and left him all of his computer stuff. So, I came in to work to find a huge box of parts and George deep into a new computer on Wednesday. There was a small digital camera in the mix and I get to use it when I want. Wheeee!!!

Busy at work

I can now play the mad paparazzi!  teeheehee…. Oh!!! and the best part! My Linux machine picked up the camera and downloaded the pictures with no problems!!! No extra drivers needed, nothing! Wheeee!!!

I spent part of today trying to figure out a better file system for the company. Not sure if there is one, but what I have is driving me nuts. Yeah, I know I cleaned it up and made it usable, but that’s just it. I made it usable. Not that it is functional. So, maybe I’ll tackle it this weekend or Monday.

Tomorrow I’m going shopping with my sister. Groceries and such, but still a chance to get out and about.

Domestic Goddess Where Art Thou?

All I wanted to do was make a cake. A birthday cake. It’s George’s birthday next week, and I figured that I’d make a cake, stick it in the freezer, thaw it the day before and then have it ready for the big day.

I’ve discovered that I am far better with computers than I am with cakes. So far I have a very interesting brownie sluge thing in a pan. High at one end, flat in the middle and burnt on the bottom. I’m calling Kelly once she is off work to see if she’ll make the cake. If I ask my mom, she will take things all the wrong way. I don’t want to date George, just work with him. sigh…

Work finally mellowed out this week. George has a side job doing a brochure for a local group in town. He’s been working on it the last two days. Lots of cussing and swearing when the graphics program ate his work.

Meanwhile, I’m adding in data to Evolution. That’s my email/calendar program. Pretty cool. I also got my first side job editing a website. Not a very difficult one thank goodness. It is a WYSIWYG site. (what you see is what you get). I was amazed at how easy it was. Wheeee!

Oh… Saw the handsome giant again. Oh my…
