Monster day at work and other stuff

It was another one of those monster days at work where you don't have time to think, never mind breathe. Smiley smashing computer There weren't any new virus infections to fight, but we did have an awful lot of computers that had to be built up. I now know more about Windows 98SE than I did when I was actually using it as an OS on my computer. I've also gotten pretty good at configuring Windows 2000 and XP to play nicely with our network both wired and wireless. About the only thing I haven't done is take one of those babies apart and try to put it back together again. I suspect I would fail miserably if I tried that.

Nothing electronic or mechanical stopped working at home today so I didn't have to replace anything or send it off for repair. Maybe the solar flares I've been blaming for my run of bad luck have finally diminished and nothing will break for a while.

The unemployed progeny still hasn't found employment though he did go to the dentist to get the last wisdom tooth pulled and the last two cavities filled. He's done until November when he has to go back for a cleaning. I, however, start my stint with the dentist next month. I shudder to think what has to be done to get my mouth in shape.

I had the second disk from the second season of Alias waiting for me from netfix.com. Unfortunately, there is some kind of damage to the disk that prevented almost all of the third episode on the disk from playing. Fortunately, I found an Alias site that has a fairly decent episode guide so I read about what I missed. I am really enjoying watching this show. It is definitely one of the better things on the boob tube. It gets three thumbs up from me.

That pretty much takes care of life today. I'm off to bed . . .
