So Exciting!

It is 3:32 am and I've been up for two hours.... doing mostly nothing except trying to do a lot more than that. My computer is about as fast as driftwood on a calm and peaceful day. Does what it wants when it wants. I can't say enough good things about Norton and whatever other useful software I may have loaded on over the years. The fresh one is waiting for me to set up but all my stuff is still over on this guy.

Anyway, it has been a pretty treacherous week. Did you know that gold is at an all time high? Probably not the best time to have sent something out for gold plating that didn't even need to go out for gold plating in the first place. Teaches me to trust that somebody else did their job right. Note to self: always read the job specs before making commitments. Thank good for stripping solutions.

Then there is the slow dripping from the ceiling, landing on perfectly good product and nobody thinking they should maybe move the skid. What a funny world. People just put in their time until they get to go home at the end of the day. I guess that's what you get when you pay what you do. Still, money only goes so far. You can't teach pride.

Now it's the weekend and I get home to find .... guess what? No, no, you'll never guess. Okay, I'll tell you. A purchase order for two books from Coutts Information Services. I guess I should acknowledge the PO before letting you know about it but, first I have to order some books. So, here we are again: An explanation of why I've been up for two and a half hours and gotten next to nothing done, hoping to avoid the long delay that it takes to actually receive a print on DEMAND order. Seriously folks, nothing is instant. Life may be short but, nobody told the postal service or border control about that.

Okay, enough gut spillage. I should save some of it for Helium or Bright Hub or something. I had a few ideas of things to write about and no chance to sit down and write, so off I go to spend some dough and hopefully make a little, too.

Laters.
