Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeI am getting conflicting information but this site lists today as World Juggling Day. Throw something in the air today!
Ticket June 14, 2004 2:42 pm
Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeDecided just to pay the ticket despite my belief that in principle I was conned. Instead of wasting time drying downtown to pay it I will mail it. I write the check, fold it in half and “rip!” it tears. What is Murph trying to tell me here?! Is this a sign that I should appeal?
Ugh! Such a typical example of how everything turns into something more than it should be!

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeI made my invoice but my software won’t print without crashing. I’m also running out of time to waste half a %^$#( day driving downtown to pay or appeal a parking ticket. If I don’t do it today things get nasty.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeI really feel like I’m frequently cursed. Everything seems to take so much more effort for me. My cellphone is very non-responsive..like the software is low on memory. It has also quit making noises. I just did a test call and it doesn’t ring anymore. I double check all settings and the volume is set the loudest it can be.
So I pass on troubleshooting that and continue to make my phone call to compusa. The number has been changed or disconnected.
Does problem and problem after problem happen to other people? I thought our society is supposed to be advancing. Great! We live longer but we spent more of our lives wasting our time! I’d rather have a shorter life with less headaches!

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeYesterday I declared it a day of no electronics and we got more work and play out of the boys than we have in ages. Today, Noah has already put in over an hour of play on his Gameboy and already he is walking around like a drooling zombie.

The bill would strengthen laws that let the FBI demand that businesses hand over confidential records about patrons by assigning stiff penalties (up to five years in prison) to anyone who discloses that the FBI made the demand. The bill would also let the FBI compel businesses to cooperate with record requests, and it would expand the government’s secret surveillance powers over noncitizens in the United States.

d) find a contract immediately
e) sales calls
f) follow-up letters to previous sales calls
h) evaluation and bid on network project and web application project
i) trade in cell phone for one that works

Exceptional Dinner June 13, 2004 10:53 pm
Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeI’m going to compliment myself on this one because the steaks came out just right!
Helped Noah collect ants for his ant farm. Strange. These little things I once or twice a year battle to get them out of the house I am now bringing into the house on purpose. Couldn’t help but stare and watch them work.
Amy was jazzed to be home. She obviously had a blast this weekend and was quite wired. She ran around giving everyone big hugs and had a perpetual smile on her face. I think she loves her trips with her grandparents but is always excited to return home.
Done out. Time to lay in bed with the wife.
