 Hi Larry.
 
 
Guess what I found. Yahoo has this new Beta photo thing. You should test it out. I'm so sharing this with all the people who don't have a clue.
 
My only thing I have aginst it makes it abit too easy. It's like it shouldn't be that easy.
 
When you go to log into your mail near the bottom you will see something that says Yahoo Photo Mail. You have to download something to make this work. But It's a one time download. Better yet. I think I see link at the end of the e-mail.
 
I'm working on my blogs now.
 
Oh, this is my current wallpaper. I've had it up for Months. I've been thinking that it's time I changed it. Then I started thinking that I should go out and look for some new wallpaper. I haven't done that in a while.
 
*Kiss*  Take care.

Saturday.

Was a boring, long day that I passed by playing a new game that I didn't think much of at first, yet I couldn't stop clicking. I sound like the ad that came with it. After 2 hours I seemed to have liked it. I like when the little things would get upset that my curser was just sitting on it and it would get mad and knock it off. :)

I'm talking about this game. Chuzzles .

Also, I will like to sing the praises of tinyurl.com. It came to my rescue 4 days ago, and I'm thinking of starting to really use it now. I've had it for a while but now I'm starting to use it.

Also, I forgot dinner so I had to go across campus for some peanuts for dinner, since the cafe closed at 4 and it's now 7ish. There were no peanuts so I had corn chips and salsa chips. The salsa chips were hot, and the corn chips were salty. Today I packed some soups. One of them should be good.

Also, at the end of my shift I tried to connect up about 12 new head sets. We are suppose to make it hard for them to walk off with them, but some I tried too, and others I didn't. I might have thought that I would have done that today, since I was late getting home that night. But two are already missing. I know Ron didn't want to use those things that you pull tight and have to cut them to get what you tied up loose, but I don't see a way around it. We will at least use them for the end computers. We won't get another shipment of head sets for months, 6 at least.

I got home to see most of the Spiderman. Jhodie taped it, along with Harry Potter. I started to watch it last night before bed. But she wanted me to tape Inyuasha for her. So I had to cut my viewing short and tape that for her. Then I tried to go to bed, but I should just have left it recording now that I think about it. The new animes are on on Saturday night. So I tried to watch about two of them then I tried to go to sleep. Jhodie had a job today and I wanted to clean. Nika, like I said can take pretty much good care of herself. Besides she would come and get me if she needed anything. But I was too tired to get up. I did go to sleep after 4am after all. I got up, put in the Sponge Bob movie into the dvd player for her. She got it from the kid next door. I got her some water, some dry cereal for her to snack on, and I went back to bed once I got the movie started.

That was at 9:30 or so. Just a scant hour before Jhodie woke me up to let me know she was leaving. When the movie was done, she came and got me to play it again for her. I then went back to bed. Then I woke up at 12 something, this time I stayed up. I looked at the kitchen. Moved a few things around, but ended up playing with Nika a bit. Then I put the tape back in that had Harry and Spiderman on it. I thought that Nika would want to see Harry, since she had liked the first one, but it doesn't seem so anymore. I still didn't get to see all of it. It was getting lat and Jhodie wasn't home yet, and I had to wash my hair. So just as I was finishing combing out my hair, she called from like 2 blocks or so away to let us know where she was since she should have been back home already. Then I got to take my bath and wash my hair after I called work to let them know that I was going to be late.

The odd thing was, I couldn't leave a message her in my department. It would just cycle me back to the switch board. So I left a message in the Library. I said that I was going to be 40mins late. Ya. Just to get out to the corner. It didn't factor in waiting for a bus. But lucky me one didn't take come to come by. I walked in at 3pm.

Anyway, I have to go now. M just left and I have to go cover the front desk. I'll spell this when I'm out there, then post.

As for Friday's blog, I've already started it, just have to finish it. Hope the Chuzzles don't get me. :) I'm just jinxing myself right?

I take that back. Post, then spell check, and then repost. :)

Everyone Is Moving Today.

Well Nika only come out once last night. The rest of the night she slept in her bed. Jhodie gave up her fan to her. At least last night was nice and windy and cool. I even turned off my fan. One, I didn't need it and Two, it was making too much noise.

Today I changed the blouse that I was wearing to work. Normally I just keep the same thing for the first three days of work then change to something a little less workish for the weekend.

Either which way, I got to work to find that Rick had already moved to the room next work. There was a nice gap in the room where his desk use to be. He even got around to changing the monitor that was going bad on him. Speaking of monitors, I thought four died on us last night, and after trying to get them to come back on, I sent an e-mail out saying that they might need replacing. I came in today to find out that they were working this morning when they came in.

Well, I ran into Dr. G on my way to my department when he ran into me and he slightly vented about something not being fixed but he also realized that we were very short handed. He went down stairs looking for Rick I think, to find no one there. So I said that I would help him with the problem after he got back from the field. I walked down to the LRC to be sent over to fix something that was "wrong" with the scanner on the SGA computer. I didn’t get to walk into my “office” yet. I handed my bag to Rick and turned around to walk over to it. The computer was over in the far corner of the LRC. Nothing should be wrong. It was used three weeks ago and I tested it two weeks ago. Turns out they were using photo shop to scan the pictures, which you can do, but I teach everyone to use Irfanview to do the scanning part, and then open Photoshop if they needed to do some real photo editing.

Speaking of Irfanview, *voice from the future*, a new version is out with improved plug-ins. http://www.irfanview.com

As I was saying, it was working fine, in Irfanview that is. I don't know why it crashed when he tried to use photo shop. I'll look at it later. It was a good, paid for copy that I used. Oh well. I was then told to go find him. He was up the FDC I was told. He wasn't there, but I still needed to talk to him. We changed the SGA local password so we have to find out what it was from him to put it back. :)

I didn't have much to do for the rest of the night.

Oh, but there was Dr. G. He found me on my way back down from the FDC. I had stopped off at the FinAid department to see about some links that I was set to post that weren't working. I ended up using this thing called Tinyurl to fix a problem that I was having with a link that was being cut in two because the program thought that part of the link was a command. Anyway, Dr. G.

We walked down to ML1 and he sad something about how my face looked. I think I was just feeling off when he ran into me. I told him it wasn't him. Anyway, he had an interesting problem. At first I thought that I found a dumb and easy fix for it, then it got odd. First I changed the output from laserdisc to computer, but then one power point worked on one didn't. He put movies in his power points to show in class, but one works just fine, while the other one has almost no volume and nothing was changed, and he swears that they both work fine on his system. I told him that he could send me the movie file and I can up the volume in movie maker and send it back to him. He said ok, but he never sent it to me. I guess he'll just use the tape. :)

Then I walked over to what is now "Turtle Jane" and asked for a sandwich with out having money. :) I said that I had money upstairs. They were closing just now, it was 1pm. She gave it to me and just confirmed that I was going to play her on Monday. Sure. There is $8 that I owe.

**voice from the future again*...realized and found out that I owe someone else money on Saturday when I tried to brake a $20 and he couldn’t. $6. The $60 that I got from Jhodie on Friday is shrinking fast.

When I got back I was asked about putting out the new headsets we got. Most of the computers no long have head sets on them. Some just up and walked away, while others broke. I made a good argument why all of use should do it once there weren't too many students on the floor, but Tishon got pulled way for a long time, then he just went home, then E left when she heard that he wasn't coming back, and then Collin called it off until Monday. He did ask that I try and get some done over the weekend thought. Well at least I had already unpacked all of them.

When I was unpacking, Rick came back over. He was lonely. :)

That night after work I was planning on going over to my uncle's house to finish what I started with the updates to his computer, but it didn't turn out that way. My sister called to ask me something or something, and I told her that I was heading over to Uncle Ray’s house after work and call to see if he could come for me. Then just as I was about to run for the bathroom, she called back to say that Uncle Ray wasn't home and that Muffet was leaving so no one was going to be there. Their loss I said and hung up to run for the bathroom.

I think she called to make sure that I was home in time for the start of Stargate and such. But the session doesn't start for another week or so I told her.

I left, caught a bus, walked home from about two blocks way when the bus was stopped and got home to hotdogs. I think. Nope. That was Saturday night. I got home to nothing. She went to out to get Pizza, the veggie stuff, but they were out, so she came back with four bbq drum sticks. They were too spicy for Nika. She ended up having a yogurt later. Hey, I tried to give her something else. She wanted a yogurt.

I don't think that I saw much on tv that night.

And that's the end.

Delayed Due to Lack Of Power

And I'm talking about the stuff that turn on your lights and coffee machine. :)

Yesterday from about 5pm we have been having blip black outs and brown outs and power fluxations. When I got home Internet wasn't working.

I think I got the bus into work that day. (I've already forgotten how my day started) I didn't have much to do, but I did a little leg work that day. Went up and down the stairs a few times. I tried to work on a laptop which we determined has a bad wireless card built in. She never used the wireless before. So we don't know if it was working when she got it or what. It works fine jacked in. I just saw her this afternoon. I told her that her wireless was fried for what ever reason. I personally installed, updated, uninstalled, and reinstalled drivers for her hardware and the supporting software and I couldn't get it to work. So she may end up getting a card from Rick.

After the first blip black out, a teacher called down saying his monitor didn't come back on. I went up to have a look at it and it was dead. Everything was plugged into the APC, but the monitor was no longer working. So he went over to the FDC and brought back on the loose monitors to see if was a good one to use until tomorrow when he would get a new one. As I was plugging it up Ron walked by the window and I called him in. He was a little surprised, but we got him a new that night since the one he brought over was one of the bad ones. He was happy when it came on bright. :) He said that his older one was dark and it had the imprint of the logon box burned into his screen. Then another issue come up. On Friday I'll be defraging his computer and a few other things.

I then worked on a few things before another teacher came down to ask me about his PDA. He couldn't find the files he copied to it. After I found them, he told me that he has been to find the files since after lab that afternoon at 3pm. It's now mins after 7. Since I helped him I asked of a lift home. But he ended up taking to my uncle's house. Earlier that afternoon my sister called to ask me about something. My uncle got Internet, and something was already plugged into where the cat5 cable was suppose to, and I was being told that it belonged to a printer???????? So I said that I would come by after work and look at it.

So I got there and first we found it it was just a loose cat5 cable that was plugged it to it. Then I tried to get on line. I had to delete so many old settings. That it took three rounds of reboots before I got all of them. Then there was the power thing. My uncle doesn't have a surge protector yet, so he wanted me to turn it off before something happened to it. At first I thought that the connection was just dirt slow, but when I got home and couldn't get on, I realized that it was the cable company. They either turned off their equipment to save them from the power fluxation, or they had no power.

Jhodie came over with Nika just after uncle ray decided that he wasn't going to play Russian roulette with the power. So Nika got to play a little with T, uncle Ray's little boy, then he gave us a ride home. Then Jhodie finish making dinner which turned out to be very good cookup. At some point that night we ended up watching this movie that Sandra Bullick made with this other guy and Samuel L. Jackson. I don't remember the name of the movie. I missed the start of the movie. It's the one where Samuel plays a guy that killed two guys for raping and trying to kill his 10 year old little girl. The then town gets torn in two and the whole movie turns into blacks against whites with the whites not looking so "white". I'll go get the name of movie. At least it ended more or less well. As well as it could. Found it. It took a while. It's call A Time To Kill (1996) Over all it's a sad movie, but it was well acted.

My all jumpy abut me trying the shower tonight. Jumpy as in she wanted to use it, wanted to know if I was going to use it. I used it this morning. Two more days and I'm washing my hair. :) I may lose a shade or two in a few weeks.

Today I was up and dressed early since I was going to go back over to my uncle's and finish setting up his computer. His anti virus program has been out of date for like 3 years, along with a few other things. I told him to come and get me at 12:30 because I knew that their will be alot to do, and there will be problems. It's WinMe. He didn't come for me until 1pm. So I sat sweeting for 30 mins since I made sure I was ready for when he showed up. I ofcourse ran out of time, I even left his house at 5 till so I could get to work on time for once. He gave me ride, but somehow we got there 10 past. Was I seeing wrong before we left the house, or is the time just off? Either way, I was walking over to talk to Ms. Cummberbatch who was outside having something to eat when she asked me if we weren't having a meeting. SHOOT! We had a meeting for 2pm this afternoon and he asked that we all be on time. I ran up the steps and just about threw my bag on the desk as I ran to the meeting room. Turns out they were talking but I hadn't missed much. Ron was even joking a bit. Sometimes I don't know what to think when he looks ok or happy about something.

The biggest things going on right now don't really involve me. Most don't. Just wait until we are told that rossvet.edu.kn will become and internal website. HA! the designing I'll be waist deep in. :) Right now, the few things that concern me won't happen for a few more months.

Then I ran into AM while I was cleaning up the front desk. E wondered off and I thought she left for lunch, or left left again with out telling us. So I went to cover the front desk and then she showed back up. She stayed until just before 5 I think. All I know was that she was here for far longer than she should have been and I had nothing to do in the back today. After she finally left, with out telling me I might add, AM showed up with her computer. She wanted some more anime and some games from me. We got a few things sorted out. I made time to do dr. S's video copy from his camera. I've had it for over a week. I had to do it. Last night I would have done it, but with the power acting the way it was, I didn't chance it and turned off off my computer when I was leaving that night too.

I had my dinner. Noddle soup, I played tumblebugs then I came back to cover the front desk after I helped AM out with her computer. Then the new girl from the library came over to play my music. Then I was introduced to a very odd and big hole with Microsoft WebOutlook. I sent a notice out to everyone about it. Then I spent the last few hours typing this thing up. It's almost 2 hours later. Acutely, I think I started to blog before the guy showed me the problem.

Well I'm going to save this and finish it up at home. Just spell checking.

Oh, Nika is sleeping in her room tonight by the light of her Winnie the pooh lamp. :) Let's see how long that lasts. Every night when she falls asleep in the bed, and wakes up to see that Jhodie isn't there, she come out looking for her. Like I said. We'll see.

Night.

***Back. :)

It's now 11:39pm. I got home about 10 till 11. The reason for this being, first I left work late due to finding what seems to be 4 blown monitors. I sent and e-mail out to the staff so they would know when they came in the next day. Then when I was leaving around 20ish past, I saw the girl's dad from the library. So he told me to get in the car and we waited for her. She came out really late. He said that was odd since she called and said that she was going to be leaving early. It seems that I girl came after she closed up to return a 48 hour book. You can only have that book for 48 hours. Every hour after that you pay $3. Alarms had to be turned back off, computers needed to be turned back on and all that.

The time is now 12:34 and I just finished spell checking. See ya. ***

A Slow Day To Start With

Hello.

Since I was out yesterday for most of the day, today was sleep day.

Then I woke up ok around noon had breakfast, then I lied back in bed, and started to feel sleepy again. Soon I was asleep again. Then my sister came home and tried to wake me up alittle after I set my clock to wake me at 2. I didn't make it out of my bed at two. when she came, the temp of the room changed and I just got sweaty and made me sleep less then peacefully. I finally dragged my body out of bed to use the bathroom around 2:30ish. I think it was later since when I came out, and looked at the clock in the living room it was 3pm. Well I started cleaning, then wondered what happened to Jhodie. She was taking a nap. She took Nika to school then went by the lady today.

At 3:40 I went wake up Jhodie so she would get Nika. I finished cleaned up while she woke herself up, got ready and brought Nika home.

When Jhodie came back with Nika I had her finish working on the water heater. She is attaching the wires and plugs to it. In an hour or so we had a test run. From the lack of terror in my voice you can conclude that no one fried. It works fine. We just have to get another fuse for the extra load. Only when it's turned on the lights dim for a second. I think it was time anyway. I think the washing machine does that also.

Then Nika went to try out her garden tools that we got her yesterday. It's a set of three. A spade, shovel and hand rake. She even planted some seeds in the middle of the walkway. :) Then she wanted to get wet down, so I soaked her with the hose until she said she was cold. So she was the first to have a "bath" with the hot water. The thing came with a small hose attachment that works great for Nika. She liked it.

Now I can wash my hair on my own now. That is a sad thing for a 28 year old.

I nuked the last beef and rice for me and Nika to eat for dinner. She barely touched it. I gave her half of it, and it was a true serving size too.

Taped "House" watched "Deadliest Catch", jumped around, then turned off the computer to watch “House" then part of a CSI that Jhodie forgot she taped. Then there was the killing of the cockroaches again. I killed three and kicked them out of the door when I was done.

Then there was the small rain fall 2 hours ago. I had asked Jhodie to pick them up when I was watering the yard earlier, but she didn't get around to it, and forgot. Like I forgot to put back up the dumplings and turkey that I left out for Jhodie to eat. She just found a few hours ago when she finally got around to seasoning the chicken. She was waiting for it to finish defrost she said.

It turned out the guy there had read my list wrong, or they now sell back and neck separately. They came together as far as I knew. Guess I was wrong. I thought I got an extra bag. He had asked for the list from me when I started to read from it. I thought it was fine. I know that I sometime looks younger than I am because of my full face, but there was no way he thought that he was older than me. He's a kid. AT the oldest he would be 22. Besides, that didn't even cross my mind. My sister bought something like that up when she realized what was in the bags, and I told her about him reading off the list.

Ok, I think that I'm going to wear my new outfit that my sister bought me. She bought cloths that actually fit me. Normally they are too small. Once in a while they are too big. I was planing of using the shower tonight, I still might. The night has gotten muggy. Heck, it's been muggy all afternoon. Guess I am taking the shower.

I got one new member to my club today. Larry talked to me in the club about the wallpaper I made, and I posted a slightly enhanced version for him to look over. I also found the site with the cat wallpaper that I was looking for. It doesn't have that much cat wallpaper, but it has a few nice things. Here's the like. http://www.whiskas.co.nz/downloads/

Ok, I think my shower and my bed are calling me. It's 2:26pm right now, and I'm watching StarTek's Next Gen Movie. The second one with the people on the planet that didn't age. Now it's raining outside. Just when I thought I would send Jhodie to get the stuff off the line. Oh well.

Well see ya in like 24 hours.

Spell checked and mostly grammer checked. It's 2:41 now. I'm out of here. See ya.
