Thoughts from the Archangel

It’s amazing to me how the blog views drop when I don’t post regularly.    Maybe it means that someone is reading this and is potentially disappointed when I don’t have anything to say…or if I can’t get to a computer.

Yesterday morning, I arrived at work as usual and tried to log on to my desktop.  It rebooted.  I tried again and got the same result.  I tried a hard reboot – we’re not supposed to shut all the way down when we leave – and got the same reboot issue.  So, I call IT.  The poor guy on the other end (when they finally answered) asked me if I had submitted a ticket.  Believe it or not, I laughed instead of screaming at the imbecile – how exactly do you expect me to submit a ticket if I can’t get into the computer in the first place?  So, they sent a guy to me – after an hour and a half – and he did some diagnostic things to my POS, only to discover that it had a bunch of bad hard drive sectors and half of the 1G of RAM was bad as well.  I won’t get mine back until this afternoon at the earliest and Monday morning at the latest.  Fortunately, the IT guy who’s fixing it is nice and kept my Packers pics while imaging the HD.

This morning, I am “borrowing” a computer from a coworker who doesn’t get here until 9.  Fun, fun for everyone!

So, uh, let’s see.  Oh!  The Rays and Philles are even after Game 2 of the World Series.  I want the Rays to win, but I guess it won’t be the end of the world if the Philies win.  At least it isn’t the Yankees or the BoSox (sorry, SD!).

I’m ready for a relaxing weekend.  AFAIK, we’ve got nothing going on.  I’m sure we’ll figure out something that we just have to go and do – the DH hates to sit at home.  On that note (and since I should probably get off of here):

Good:  Getting my hair washed at the salon…aaahh.  Hottie Marques Colston is back on the active roster for the Saints!

Bad:  Tony Romo’s pinkie will keep him out of another game (that’s at least bad for the ‘Boys), and he’s still with Stupid.  Tom Brady is having some problems with that knee surgery (it’s because I’m not taking care of him in his time of need – Tom, I’ll come to SanFran, I swear!), and has to go under the knife again.

Ugly:  There’s the one lady at work that may be one of the most annoying people I’ve ever met, and it’s not RFAC.  My new across-the-aisle neighbor is gonna get the nickname of TMI Queen.  I already know of most of her medical conditions, her cats, her boyfriend’s job problems, her money-saving ideas, her family medical history…Yikes!

Funny:  Search for “Happy Schnapps Trio” and listen to “The Bears Still Suck”.
