Star paperwork done. Phone call to voicemail to see if they want it mailed, faxed or hand delivered. The paperwork was begun on Jan 30 and finished on Feb 17. That’s ridiculous!

Took “sick” 10 yr old to school. She could have stayed home but it is too torturous for her to not see her friends.

Returned home and cleaned food off kitchen table to use as a desk so the wife and I could fill out this STAR paperwork. The baby sees me cleaning and immediately grabs her broom and starts helping. What a great kid!

I see the table the wife’s computer now sits on is going to be hard to keep the kids from setting drinks on.

Thanks Fark.com for the continued great headlines! [08:21] * CFNews reports: Cingular wins bid for AT&T Wireless. Crappy service to remain unchanged

As a Cingular customer, I looked forward to the improved service in the long run. I don’t look forward to the imminent price increases and lousy service during the merger of equipment and technologies.

I’m setting goals 1 at a time today. As I accomplish each goal, I will set the next. I have a fuzzy set of goals such as clean office, program, make marketing materials, cold call, form letters, contact it managers and deliver resumes, contact old friend networks, etc. The objective goal I give myself right now is “fillout and deliver the 13 yr old’s STAR paperwork.”

cntl-c fails! February 17, 2004 8:29 am

Has anyone else ever experienced cntl-c failing to copy into the buffer?! Mind you, this wierdness must be in my hand. My first thought “the key is sticking.” However, I then go to a friend’s house and experience it on his machine to have him turn around and make cntl-c work with no problem! This is terribly frustrating because when it does happen, I carefully press the cntl key then the c key making sure that the key presses are true and still, the clipboard holds old information!

btw, cntl-v never fails and right-click copy always works

A New Day!

Let’s start the day off with a PayPal donation link:

This Morning

I failed. Not only did I not get up. I over slept! Time to take the 7 yr old to school. Letting the 10 yr old sleep in as we suspect she is still not well.

Had a wonderful time this evening. We web cam’ed our conversation with our friends in Australia. The kids got completely worked up over it and are ready to run to school tomorrow to tell all their friends. It was quite fun!

Worked all afternoon moving the wife’s computer upstairs so now she’s so pissed at me that she won’t speak to me. As is typical, I’m left feeling like crap and guessing what it is that I’ve done wrong this time.

Back from meeting. Talked to much. Good reminder of how to handle and not handle myself in sales calls.

Car acting up. I fear the transmission is looking to die. Not a good thing when the bank account is running dry.

Spent most of the day working cleaning the wife‘s computer. Now its time to head out to a meeting. I feel unprepared..more nervous that anything else. There is too much riding on these kinds of meetings for my confidence to not be a little shaken.

So much time.. So little to do!

Blast! Someone buy me a digital switch box please! I share 4 computers between 1 monitor, keyboard and mouse. This analog switch box doesn’t support the usb mouse and frequently drops the keyboard and mouse when changing machines causing me to do a hard reboot.
