And I am sad there is no more.
But now I perhaps have my life back.
Thursday saw some work, ah yes, the very bizarre case of the not appearing flash drives. When I plugged in a flash drive to XP it just called it "unknown device" and wouldn't work with it. Yet a USB mouse worked perfectly? So I tried a zillion things, none of which worked. One very bizarre tale I read involved plugging them into a hub. I scoffed at this idea because that's like saying my blender doesn't work plugged into the wall, but when I plug it into this extension cord, it does.
Naturally, that was the solution.
Because windows sucks.
Then the tragic tale of the woman with the malfunctioning outlook express. When she tried to read or delete a specific message, OE would just hang. So I had to move her inbox to another folder, (minus the offending message of course) then delete the file that housed the message, then open OE again, have it make a new file, then move the stuff back.
And people put up with this kind of behavior. Weird.
Then at five a cleanout. No big deal there.
Friday I only had one job to do, installing a black ink cartridge. So glad I went to collage.
Saturday was game of course. Worked on Mizzy's present and make an excellent stab at it. I'm actually kind of impressed never having done anything like this before. (making something out of clay) I still have tons of it left and not much more to model, but I have another clay project in mind so it won't go to waste! Now I just need a spring...
Game went fine, of course Sean presented me with an impossible mission "oh find me this book that every Simurgh ever has a personal stake to keep hidden." The plan is to make a fake book, or kill the Naga, or just find something else he might accept in that vein. We'll see what happens.
Today I walked the pup at 12:00 (because he's old-old pup) and did cleaning.
Mizzy reports that she now hates BOLE. I looked into it.

Hummm... I guess I can see why. What the heck? An extra $500 seems a bit ridiculous to me, but I guess she now has extra incentive to pass this time? She also needed to empty the waste toner bucket on her printer and couldn't figure it out. Silly Mizzy!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, I keep forgetting to show you my Halloween costume!

Finally remembered. Isn't it great?
Let's see, completed all four daily challenges last night in Halo, never done that before. Still need over 100,000 credits to buy the little hearts effect I want. *sigh*
7 calls over the weekend, I have tomorrow and tuesday booked! One at 7 PM tomorrow, ugh. Shopping as usual tomorrow. Have to remember to buy an air filter, I keep forgetting that. I wrote it down though, so I should remember.
Next weekend is the last Sean will spend away, getting close to coming home time!
Looks like it'll be nice at least part of this week, hope to get grandma's front leaves all done. And of course mine, though that will take way less time once they're dry with my new method.
