Not Dead... Yet

Sorry, I am still alive, just very very busy.

Quick Rundown

Sato - Still cute
Red Legs Baseball - Going to the playoffs (YEA Chris)
Andrew - Still planning on the Navy
Ben - ... Still Ben
Lucie - Still the boss
Sadie - Still cute
THE WIFE - Still the love of my life
Me - Still crazy and overworked...

In funny news, I have a headhunter calling me and emailing me for some Microsoft evaluation job. Hmmmmm.

Can You Say Relaxed?

Would you be nervous if you were going to bed and you saw this on your pillow?




Nope, he's not dead. THE WIFE says she thinks he was coming down off a catnip binge.

Princess / Terrorist

I have been a victim of a plot by my children to drive me insane. My two sweet, precious little girls are systematically teaming up to destroy my home and sanity.

Last night I hear Dozer barking like he does when he is playing rough with Sato. Sato is howling the "Help me, I don't want to play like this" howl. I turn around to discover Sadie has Sato by his hind legs swinging him in a circle as she spins around. Every time poor Sato swings over Dozer's head he is barking trying to intimidate poor Sato. All poor Sato can do is cry for help as the world flashes by.

I managed to save him from "Death By Love."

A little later THE WIFE accidentally knocks a wall decoration down. This is about a four foot piece of ironwork. Nothing too bad so I go to the garage to grab a couple of screws and by the time I get back (approximately 30 seconds later) the two girls have teamed up and a team carrying the ironwork across the living room to an undisclosed location.

Dad comes unglued.

Drunk Neighbor Alert

If anyone would like to see what a drunk neighbor (who we suspect to be part of La Raza's underground railroad) run around aimlessly while hooting and yelling, feel free to drop on by.

Depressing

You know, I usually enjoy working from home except in two cases.

One of which is extremely slow days where nothing happens. That makes for a vey long and boring day.

The other is when something hot lands on my desk and I can't get anyone who is actually "In" the office to answer their phone, email or IM.

So now, I have a hot issue and no way to look at it. I am sure things will be much calmer on the issue by morning when I am able to load it and test it myself.

Darn You Murphey!

OK, so THE WIFE wanted me to work from home today so if the weather gets bad she doesn't have to drag all the kids out in it. I agreed seeing as last week was just terribly busy and stress inducing and I worked off and on all weekend.

Now I think I made a mistake.

We have a guy out at a site and every time we send him a database, it won't load or something won't come online.

(sigh)

I don't know what to do at this moment. We load it in the lab, we make modifications, we send it to him and something doesn't work.

I am waiting to hear back on the latest as he was supposed to change things and we would see what happened.

I Love "THE WIFE"

I love you Jen. Thank you for loving me.

A little something for you to watch.
