    Work

    Work today was sort of slow at first, but then it got exceedingly hellish....


    I started off downtown today, wasn't anything that bad, I had 3 people show up to training, not too bad...


    I edit an ASP page for the Genealogy index we have, nothing too difficult, just eh....


    Then I headed to lunch, not too interesting either....


    I had to fix the children's PCs, because they wouldn't print. one of the circulation computers wasn't working properly with the domain, had to look at that. A PC in the lab's screen doesn't look right, I have a feeling that's going...


    Side Note: Jewel, ELAB5's monitor color is off, there's not a lot that can be done about it....


    Then I had to try and setup a laptop and project for a program tomorrow.... this is when it really went downhill.... I can't find the connection between the network connection and the laptop... not a good thing, since the program is about Ebay, and internet is required to do a program about that....


    anyway, right now I'm formatting the hard drive for the family computer since Windows did not want to load at all last night, I've saved what needed to be saved, and the rest doesn't matter...

    None

    Yes I know there's no title to this....


    Today was a big waste all around, didn't do anything special today... I played Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast and beat it... then I started playing Quake, but I had to get ready for work....


    On to Work.... I didn't do a whole heck of a lot at work today, I did help a few people, and I did make notes of UPS's. I did find a new YA book that was interesting.... No, not just the cover is interesting, so far the story line is as well... although the cover didn't hurt in grabbing attention. I'll let everybody know how good it is....

    My Day

    Well Today was just another day in Aurora....


    I didn't want to go to work this morning, and I'm still not fully awake.... oh well...


    it was raining on my way to work, so that kept traffic slow, it took me like 20 minutes to get to work, how sad....


    I didn't do a whole lot while at work, except now I have to work on making a Genealogy database into something viewable for patrons... this will be fun.... that's the word for it, right....


    after work, I went to the store, but I didn't buy anything of consequence to really matter...


    then I sat around playing games until like 3:30, at which point I got ready to go to school, which was a nightmare.... anybody who was around ogden just east of the railroad tracks, between long grove and frontenac will understand...


    there was an accident, involving a mustang, and mini-van, and an SUV, coincidentally, all of the cars were white... really strange, now that I think about it... so that slowed traffic, not to mention the two cop cars that went speeding by, they didn't help either.


    school: this guy asked to borrow my cell phone to make a couple of calls, of course I say yes, he read me the number, and it sounded familiar, but it didn't occur to me until after I got a text message from my friend, B... (yes jewel, I'm starting to use your style with names).... she asked if I let a friend of her's, use my cell phone to make a call, so it didnt' occur to me until I look afterwards, and saw the he called B, very serendiptious...


    our regular teacher wasn't at class, and won't be for the next two weeks, the sub isn't too bad, not as entertaining though.... oh well... but I did manage to get a 95% on my quiz, so I can't argue.... that makes my average 94.2%... it's not 100% like I would like, but I guess I really can't argue..... but oh well... I'm going to anyway....


    that's been my day... any comments?

    Work and School

    Well I was running around at work all day today, it was sort of annoying. Up and down stairs all day, gets to be tiring after a while....


    School was repetitive again, per usual. but I did manage to get a 96.4% on my quiz tonight, so I guess I can't argue... I'm going to watch West Wing some more now.

    Work and such

    Well, I'm sitting here at work trying to figure out what to do. At one point there were only two people sitting in here. Although it is relatively quiet, so that is good, but there's still nothing to do. As, Jewel will be able to attest to once she comes in tomorrow.


    tomorrow is may 1st, where the hell have the last four months gone, I mean really... wasn't it just january like yesterday. I've been sick for the past few days, not like deathly ill, but sick enough to
    the point where I don't really feel like doing anything but sitting at home.


    I guess I could be working on a monthly report for my boss, but I haven't really done anything that spectacular this month. Yeah, I implemented USB Drives at Eola, but whoopy do, it's not like I invented time travel or anything.

    Egging

    My car was egged sometime today, I'm pretty sure it was between 7:00 am and 1:30pm today, I'm unsure of who did it, but of course i've already cleaned it off of my car.

    Broken Computer Parts

    I know I haven't posted in almost a week, but I've been busy, and haven't had much to post.... But I found out today that my mouse that I bought a little over 4 months ago has decided to stop working... I haven't even used it that much... I haven't decided whether or not I'm going to buy a new green one or not.. I'll decide that tomorrow. Thoughts?

    Class and Work.

    Well on tonight's quiz I got an 88.6. not too bad, not above 90% like I would like, but it'll do.


    work today I had to swap out a motherboard on two computers, and one computer is now working better (The motherboard that wasn't working before), while the other is not running well at all (The one that actually did work before). I'm wondering if there's another issue going on.
