We set up our kitchen blog this weekend. I need to get around to doing links for this thing. Maybe i’ll even figure out the template, since we did it over there, and I can change colors now that I figured out the bleeding stylesheet works.
Or maybe i’m a lazy SOB :o
Anyway, http://www.kitchendragons.net/mt/ is our new kitchen blog. go us. an’ stuff.
holy crap, we spent a lot this week
between the sewing machine last week, a lot of stuff we bought for practicing with the sewing machine and then actually using hte sewingmachine, putting in the freezer and stockign up the freezer, JESUS!!!
oi. but we should (*SHOULD*) be reaching the end of the tunnel. tuesday I’m gonna talk to my manager about getting kiir hired up as the team assistant, to handle the email queues and other crap i don’t honestly have time (or inclination) for. and there’s plenty of it, since she can deal with the mindless xut/vaste jobs.
hopefully that’ll go off OK. b/c we need more money, and i do too much shit at the office :o
job listing came across my email yesterday. perl programmer, unix admin, mysql DBA …
it’s all stuff I can do. heck, it’s all stuff I AM doing.
and it comes with a nice raise attached
(more…)
tomorrow we have an “awards ceremony” with the office. they invited 7 of us in an email this afternoon.
went ahead and cancelled EQ2 today. I haven’t played since a week before the expansion came out . that was two weeks ago. I really don’t miss it, either.
went to play CoV, but there’s a 1G patch that they put up yesterday for folks to download, but being as i was at my dad’s retirement party … i didn’t :o
logged into CoH. worked off my debt from the weekend. then I died, DOH! but it’s relaxing, running around and beating things up. ahh.
so i took the politics test thingie from kiir’s site … apparently’ i’m central :o

apparently I suck at shopping trips.
went out to the grocery store earlier b/c I needed a can of vegetable broth for the black bean soup (needs 2 i had 1). I spent 78$ on a can of vegetable broth!!! Then we went out later to buy labels for hte tupperwares of soup we have in the freezer, and ended up spending like 850$ on ‘em!
Now, in defense, the soup broth trip did net us 103$ in free stuff, like bread and fish sticks and things of that nature. And the labels trip got some Pirates cards, soda, a thousand dollar sewing machine, some patterns, and a couple other odds and ends.
But damn, I suck at shopping. 925$ on what should have been like 5$ worth of stuff. oi.
So, I finally cornered my boss(es) today for details about the ginormous files. apparently we ALWAYS had 12 (they’re monthlies) so I don’t know where 6 came from. But the 97G is b/c we have 3 sets of those 12, and so each trio averages 8G. But now they’re telling me we don’t want to host all of them. So I’m not sure why we made them since we ARE the main host here. But now I have to find out (or guess) which ones we DO want.
Oi.
So, forgot my pill last night. I had 7 left when i called in my refill order a week and a half ago. I still have 1 more.
But of course, if i forget my pill I’m bitchy (bitchier?), short tempered, and i have no ability to focus or concentrate on anything long enough to get any real work done. Actually, even when i remember it it’s hit or miss whehter i can focus completely and get anything significant going.
*sigh*
So I went home early, b/c I spent the morning doing wha should have taken like 20 minutes or so. This sucks. I’m gonna go beat things up in CoH now, b/c thta doesn’t really need focus :)
tried to isntall the stylecatcher plugin, to make style changes easier, but after two evenings of working my way through all the code and figuring out how to get stacktraces when i don’t know where i’m going and getting debugging info from a CGI …
AFAICT DBD::mysql doesn’t support blobs. and the plugindata field is a blob. and so it can’t succesfully save my settings, and thus keeps wanting me to set my settings. even immediately after the sucker says “settings sucessfully saved” it can’t find the settings.
suckage. so i’ll do it hte old fashioned (read manual) way :o
