Let it not be said that I am all talk and no action. I finally took the bull by the horns today and bought a new laptop, with a decent amount of bells and whistles. And it's not a moment too soon. The downstairs computer has finally blipped its last bleep and this ratty old laptop is on the fringe of a complete and utter meltdown.
It's a tempting thought, to take my trusty old baseball bat and have a swinging good time with the useless junk.
In other new, my boss sent me an interesting email today regarding the way I park. Just for giggles, here's an inside look on how I spend my work day.

Now that’s just plain mean …
But if that were to happen, you can bet your bottom dollar I’ll be taking the rest of the day off … WITH PAY.

Oh goodie … I need the insurance money. You think next time you can take the whole car out and not just the fender.

I PULLED IN AND TOOK YOUR FENDER OFF. HOW’S THAT FOR EXCITING?

WHY DID YOU PARK LIKE A DRUNK?

Sigh ... Everyone's gotta be a critic.

Acutally I think he was trying to be funny ... Jon's way of showing he "likes" a person is by picking on them. In which case, I must be "liked" a lot ...
And if not, it's always better to put a positive spin on a potential negative.
You still didn't answer my question on the time difference ... Not that I'm nagging or anything.
Brenda ... You should be ashamed of yourself. (But we both know that's not going to happen.) No laptop as of yet, though Martin is going to need to fix the piece of junk downstairs for me at some point ... If I ever get the blasted thing unplugged.
Andrew ... Thanks for the info. Still a bit confused on this whole winter/summer thing but have decided against mentioning it, lest I give away my ignorance ... Whoops. Bit too late for that I am afraid.
Well I just got done posting a mountain and my brain is feeling rather fried, so I am to bed.
Toodles and goodnight.
Umm ... Didn't you just turn 30???
Being that my 30th is right around the corner in Novemeber, can we keep the too old comments to a minimum.
:)
