Well... I just got done making the dough for Molasses cookies... most people don't realize how difficult it is to scoop out of a metal bowl... it tires your arm out after a while... it's quite messy making the dough... luckily we have a mixer so it makes it easier to mix then entire batter when you're adding the flower..

now tomorrow it'll be time to actually roll the dough out and bake the cookies.... more difficult work... I should post the recipe sometime

Well I called Fedex three times today... once to see if was anything more about the package that was supposed to be here yesterday... and the first time, the lady said there was no attempt to deliver it... isn't that encouraging... The second time I called was to see what time they deliver until, and that is 8:30 for residential deliveries, 5:30 for businesses. So the third time I called (after 8:30) to register a complaint and the lady said that she will make sure that the fedex facility is aware of the issue and that there should be an attempt to deliver it on Monday.... we'll see if that happens.

Well... I left work at 10:00pm after an upgrade we did that actually worked.... I had been at work since 11:00am... oh well I get paid for all of it... of course now I'm tired... but I'm off until 12/28... I have vacation time that I have to take...

On a sad note though, Actor John Spencer of West Wing died today of a Heart Attack... he was only 58.. he would have been 59 on Tuesday... I'm not sure how his character will be taken off of the show... he was a good actor, and played the role of Leo McGarry like nobody else could...

I checked on the status of my Fedex package again this morning and here's what the latest entry says:

Dec 16, 2005 1:50 AM
On FedEx vehicle for delivery
CAROL STREAM, IL

On a side note If this does not get delievered I will never use fedex again... this is completely unacceptable with no reasons as to why it was not delivered yesterday.

Just talked to MP about his book... it comes out in January... you can preorder it here from Barnes & Noble... it's Twilight of the Past: A Rift in Time.

So I ordered some things for christmas for people, and they were supposed to be delivered yesterday, 12/14/05... but they weren't... supposedly because of weather... ok... So they were on the truck at 1:40AM today, 12/15/05... supposed to be out for delivery today... it's now 9:41 and I have not yet received my package... I got two yesterday...

Here's the Tracking Information

Well I took my CCNA Final and got an 89.4%... that's better than I thought I'd do, since all of my practice tests I didn't get anything above an 80%... oh well, that's over. I also took a quiz in class and got 24/25... it's all bonus points... so that just adds to my grade... which should be an A for the class.

well... one major thing that irks me is when people ask for my advice on stuff, and then just all of a sudden, decide that they don't want my advice because it's not what they wanted to hear... if you don't really want my advice, don't ask for it... oh well... of course there is nothing I can do about it...

well... I upgraded the memory in my Cisco router today. For a while I've been wonder how the maximum could be 384MB of RAM, but now I Know that there is 128MB built in, and you can add an additional 256MB if you'd like... welll I had a single 128MB SODIMM chip laying around so I put that in there... so now it has 256MB of RAM

Well, it took me a good half hour to get home tonight... like I thought it would. and of course, the roads were horrendous like they always are whenever it snows... oh well... I'm home now...
