T*G*I*F*

I love my job, I really do, but I am so glad that it is Friday. I have been in charge of the office for virtually all of this week. It gets lonely. It also can be very frustrating as I sometimes come to a screeching halt in my work, not knowing what is expected or where the information which allows me to continue can be found. In addition, I am only here until 1:00 (noon today) and the mail does not come until after that. This means if I have outgoing mail I have to take it to the post office myself and I don't know what is coming in. When I am here alone all week we could feasibily go all week without mail. Didn't happen, but it could. I have waited around when I know the mailman is in the area.

I have to back up files soon so that makes things wind down. All my programs have to be closed before I can do that.

I am going to go see my parents this afternoon. Jana and I will go up as soon as I get off work and will come back tomorrow morning after visiting with Daddy. We may stop in Abilene on the way home and do a little antiquing. There's a surprise.

I continue to not watch the debates, but I understand the healthcare system in the US is the envy of the rest of the world! Could have fooled me. Guess that information probably came from that 45,000,000 uninsured (not to mention the additional millions underinsured and those who have just disappeared from the statistics.) I understand also that those aeronautical and software engineers who have lost their jobs due to outsourcing are encouraged to go to community college. Boy, it is so comforting to know that competent people are in charge. (One flew east, one flew west, etc.)

I wish the Red Sox would get off their Boston Butts and start playing ball. Houston is doing just fine, thank you.

Later.
