at a job today, from the cutest little boy who turns three tomorrow. He asked the (much) older girl (sister?) what she was doing today and she said "hanging out with you!" He immediately said "are you crazy?" It was too cute. Then they went for a walk and she said "say goodbye!" and he said "good bye, man!" 

 

And that was the only thing that made me smile in the whole of today. That, and knowing there'll always be a little place... called Albuquerque!  

 

Still busy-busy, four today. Cleanout first, that's where the little boy was.

 

Then over to one "not getting on the internet". Yeah, more like paralyzed from the neck down if you ask me. Somehow Windows Update (which should open, check to see if there's anything new, and then close again) was consuming massive amounts of memory, like 512MB all by itself. Yeah. Turned that off. Hey look, your machine doesn't take thirty seconds to open the control panels anymore!

 

*shakes head*

 

Then over to the young woman needing Win7 reloaded. I tried the disk I had downloaded first, but it gave me some crap about missing files or whatever? Sigh. So I had to sit for an hour as the restore disks slowly rebuilt the machine. I was impressed they left her stuff intact though, I guess the restore disk has smartened up a bit. Still don't know why I can't just have a windows 7 disk. New Macs get OS X CDs, and a free pony, but hey, saving that .10¢ on a CD makes a huge difference for HP. Reading about them in the news. And laughing. Anyway, got that system up and working again, finally, it went through three different looking progress screens, giving me a false hope three separate times that I was nearing the end, but only delivering the once.

 

Then over to see Rita, who has improved a little after her stroke and seems almost back to normal. Oh, she still has no clue what's going on, but at least it was more like talking to a bunny rather then a brick wall.

 

Got a message on okcupid from a girl in the Philippines, which consisted of "how are you". (no subject). Really? This is what I have to work with?

 

Four calls, one from my best buddy bruce, he's getting his "new apartment" and some $80 computer from some pawn shop or something, I don't know, the man's ramblings are something to be consumed while distracted by beautiful sunsets or the most intensely pleasurable experience you've ever had. 

 

Just got a call from Sean, more WfC in a bit, as he was "just leaving Best Buy" and Mizzy "wants to have my babies" so, I guess that's good? Or does she want me to have babies with someone else and then give them to her? I was unclear on that point.

 

Anyway, gotta go get ready! For tomorrow. So I can play. Now.

 

Finished Heroes 3, ready for Season 4!
