Darn Pager

I didn't realize I was on pager this weekend, which wouldn't have been too bad of a thing, except I'd turned my cellphone/pager on silent, so I didn't even hear it beep. Oh well, I worked on this callout for 4 hours and didn't get anywhere, I'm not sure another 4 would have mattered. I just feel bad for the guy before me who had to keep working it.

Fozz was nice enough to share the link. I think my favorite is Welcome to the Company.

Hungry USB Hard Drive Case

I had a 300gb drive I wanted to use on my new non-ide computer. I went and bought a USB case for it, plugged it in, and it worked for a short time. The hard drive then went bad. Okay, not a huge deal, probably hard drive issue. So I decided to reuse said case on my 25gb drive. Pulled out the dead 300gb, trashed it, put in the "new" 25gb. It has been working for about 1-2 months (about as long as the last drive) and now it is also making horrible clicking noises... So is it the case or am I just really good at picking flaky drives?

Brazen Bunny

This little bunny had no problem coming within a few feet of me. He was feasting on green Colorodo grass.

View From the Hotel

There is a lovely view of the AMC from the hotel. Oh, and the mountains in the background.

Sleet in Denver

I got to Denver earlier today, and on the way out to Broomfield there was a bit of weather, as in lots of sleet.

Empty Police Cars

As I drive to have tea, I have passed two strategically placed empty police cars... Go holiday weekend.

Library Renovations

I finally decide I'm going to the library to get some books, and it's closed until the end of July! What timing. :-(

Naps All Around

Mandy came to visit! She and Georgia bonded over a nap.

Sam's Diet Cola vs Coke

So I've been getting the Walmart version of Coke, just cause it's usually $0.58 instead of $0.99 (on sale, $1.50 otherwise). I've decided that it isn't the taste that really is the difference, but the ability of the soda to remain carbonated. I tend to leave my cups of soda for a long time, so I notice the non-fizziness. After a few hours, the fake Coke is flat and tastes funky, the real Coke (or in this case Coke Zero) still has some fizz and tastes okay.

Wrong Bumper Sticker

So I was driving and looking at all the bumper stickers you see. I thought maybe I could have one that said:

My children participate in stem cell research.

Even if it's not true, I think I would end up getting keyed or rearended.

Poor Kitty

Well, my Stupid is still having some problems. He seems to have an addiction to licking his butt. This isn't a huge deal, except he tends to spread the butt smell all over his little body and the fur down there is a little ... stiff ... He's getting a bath and we'll see if the vet has any great ideas about how to fix it. He was NOT happy when I picked him up off his (aka Chris') pillow and put him in his carry box.

Shaved Arm

Kitty had a little problem, so he got another kitty enema. Lucky kitty... They shaved part of his front leg, and it looks SO skinny.

Two Animals

The two pets seem to be adjusting. A little. Kitty lays behind the futon, Georgia lays on the futon...

Moving Kitty

So my little baby kitty has been at my parents forever, and I've not been there in the last eight years. It was decided that kitty should move down to NC with me, since my parents are planning to move and due to retirement have some serious travel plans in the next few months. No prob, drove up for Christmas, kitty would just ride back down. It's only an eight hour car ride.

First little bit was okay, kitty sat in my lap and was quiet. We stopped at a Starbuck for some juice to get us going. We get back on the road, and kitty starts climbing all over the junk piles in the back. Not good, so I pull him back onto my lap. He squirms a little, gives me a look, and... I believe the words I said to Chris were, "Eww, warm..." Yes, kitty did indeed have to go. And he went. So we are now in traffic, and the smell is... something. I have to open the window, which then leads to, "Eww, cold..." I'm really not sure which was worse. Twenty minutes later we make it to a rest stop. Kitty tries to climb the wheels this time, but it doesn't matter, I'm booking it for the bathroom. Luckily my pajama bottoms are easily reachable, unluckily they are green flannel with cat napping on them. And it definitely looks like I've had an accident as my butt & thighs are soaked. Yay.

I clean up and we continue on our way. We do try to get kitty to go a few more times, and the last time, when he jumps right back into Chris' truck, we decide that he's not going to go anywhere but when we stop at home. Of course about 20 minutes from said house, he gets up and starts crawling around again. I tried to avoid putting him in the travel box, but he was screwed, cause I did not want another wet lap. He cried the rest of the way, but I didn't get wet. He gets one day to recover before he meets the dog...
