Thursday

Tomorrow we will go to the Shadyside Arts Festival.   I asked Emily to drive because she is better at parallel parking than I.  We went there two years ago, and last year I was working and didn't get to go.

On Sunday  we may go to Cleveland to get the rest of her apartment things.  It all depends on whether I sleep Saturday night or not.   Th next Sunday is an option too.   Tim is moving out the end of August.   

Emily is struggling with the eternal employment dilema.....  They want experience, and how do you get it if it is a requirement??? She is working on her resume.........

Wednsday

Got home and  and found messages from Chuck how I am not answering the phone and how many times he called.   If I am not home by 0700 I am still at work.   Today was a dept meeting and yada yada yada.   Looks like the merger is going to go through.   Glad I can retire in 3 years.   So far   "nothing will change" 

 Somehow I am extremely distrustful of corporate BS.   They will tell you ANYTHING and promise you EVERYTHING and say NOTHING  will change.  You DON'T  have to worry and there will be NO changes. 

I DON'T BELIEVE THEM.......NOT ONE IOTA.  We have been down this road before and KNOW BETTER.  And the policy book is something to bring out and hit you in the arse when they don't want to give you something.  It will be twisted and then spit out to solve their problem and get rid of employees that are perceived as being problematic. 

Another problem with Microsoft.  Found a note from the daughter and they want $35 to talk to her.  That computer is under warranty.  I may call them and charge them $50 per minute to talk to me.........I am ready for a confrontation....

Monday

Nothing going on around here.  I did hear from the realtor that someone was to visit 2327 twice.  She was going to call them today and see. 

The schedule was light today and not to heavy tomorrow.   The past administration seemed to take delight in irritaing the surgeons.   And a lot of them left.  Now that the past administration is gone, they will do more to recruite surgeons.

I have been perusing others journal and now I want to know how they get the graphics on there.   I have looked thru the help items and it doesnt jump out at me.   I see banners and other things???   I also see larger pictures and want to know how to do that also.

I am sitting here wondering what to do today.    The house at 2327 still hasn't sold.   People in other  parts of the country would find it amazing that a 3 bedroom, living room, dining room and two bath house couldn't sell for $89,000.  It is in a nice neighborhood and in move in condition???

Friday

Went to lunch with my daughter.   We had a nice time.  Then we went to CCAC and she handed in the paperwork to have the credits from the two last required classes.   If all goes well (why am I always looking for some SNAFU)  she will be finished.

I spent an hour or two going thru my favorites.  I know there is someway to better catagorize them but along with the videos it is escaping me.   All I can figure out is the click and drag method.   \

I had off today.   I washed the clothes and cleaned a bit.  Now that is real exciting.   I had never (or at least I can't remember) being bored on my days off.   I think it is because historically women always have another job taking care of the household and they always have something to do on a daily basis.

Friday

Some of the videos I can see and some I can not.   I give up for now,   those videos are just not that important..................

Wednesday

My life and computers are  crazy.   What had happened?????  I could not view the videos on aol??????   Tried to get live help and all it would do was kick me off the system and then restart.  After much searching I found a number for tech support.   After two trys I finally uninstalled and reinstalled the aol disc.   Then it wouldn't let me on the system.   After the second try the tech guy said the problem was with Norton.  What a circle jerk that was.   Fifteen minutes with the Norton voice mail (which has me going around in circles with options and choice)  I finally got to talk to another human.   He had me in the bowels of Norton and turning the computer off and on inumerable times.   I think it is working because I am writing in this journal.

I would like to know why this computer doesn't want to turn of or restart. It is so slow in starting one would think that I had all the files of the federal government on it.

Now I have to find the site for the things I had on my tool bar.   This journal was one of them, now I shall be on a quest the find the other few.
