Oddly enough, even with the twelve phone calls I received over the weekend, I ended up with only two appointments today. And again only two for tomorrow after I made calls today. Very odd. Of course, two of the ones for tuesday canceled on me, so I just replaced them with two others, but still. So I did the normal stuff for a monday, because I am boring and predictable. (or part cat) Also somehow managed to read all three graphic novels I got out of the library today. Guess I don't have any excuse to not finish Unwired so I can give it back to Stan, huh? Anyway, after that I went to see my 12:00, she had my favorite unmountable_boot_volume maybe two weeks ago and it was back again. So huggable. Like broken glass covered in salt that's on fire. Protip: ninjas can't catch you if you are on fire. It's true, so remember that, it could come in handy some day. Ran checkdisk twice and booted it up fine. Got back home, read some, ate lunch, worked on christmas gift things. My next one was 3:00, where I got to teach a new computer user using my patent pending noun/verb method of explanation. Much easier then explaining it other ways. Protip: never teach someone to double click. They will then double click everything. Without regard to it being a delete button or what. So I never teach that. I teach instead, right click on it and select open. Then the behavior of right clicking rather then double clicking is reinforced, and there are less screw ups. I could go on about the exact noun/verb method I developed but you're not that bored, are you? Suffice to say, I am a genius for coming up with it, and humble enough to not admit it, while looking smug or possibly like I just ate a lemon, there's never a mirror around to check. Don't know why but that last sentence amused me greatly. Though you might like to know. That took me two hours, so I came home, ate, made phone calls, read some more, got ready for tomorrow, gee, didn't see that coming did you? Speaking of lemons, I keep lemon juice around solely to make lemonade with. I would classify it as my third favorite drink, after cider and grape juice. Don't get me wrong, I love sucking down a frosty glass of cow's udder juice as much as the next guy, and do so regularly, (double fine with some chocolate powder and microwave energy exciting the h2o molecules) but while raking leaves I drank a whole container of grape juice because that's thirsty work darn it and I have to balance something I don't like with something I do! Yes sir, you never know what random tidbit of knowledge might come your way on this blog. Like that ninja tip earlier: classic stuff, that.
