3. Nothing
I didn't go in. Very unusual on my line of work to call in sick. Just didn't feel up to it.

Did you eat the turkey?

4. I tried to unravel the mysteries of the .NET data adapter.
Edited on Wed Apr-08-09 03:55 PM by mainegreen
I came to the conclusion that it's stupid.

This is unusual because I normally work in PHP, being inherently hostile to all things .NET



Not very exciting.

:shrug:

8. Spent all day fighting a virus outbreak
Symantec is worse than useless. It lets you believe you will be protected but still always viruses into your network and we paid for it.

13. What is this *work* thing you speak of?
And why would sacrificing a turkey facilitate doing *work*?

Must be a job at one of those weird cults.








:P

14. Nothing unusual
Worked way too hard, put up with a lot of idiots. Same thing I do every day. :eyes:



I hope you got to eat the turkey - they're good deep fried. :9

17. found 4 bags of groceries.
3 loaves of bread, 3 packs of bologna, 2 packs of american cheese slices, mustard, mayo, 2 gallons of Tampico, 2 large bags of lays, and 3 gallons of water. Migrants on the move again, I guess. This was near an old pick-up spot/hide out near the end of our road. Sigh.

22. Not unusual for me to do, but it is at work! I changed 2 poopy diapers.
Took my BellBell to work before we went to the doctor. Real exciting, huh?

23. Flew into Houston
...in my plane, and got paid to do it. I stopped in Brenham Texas for lunch on the way and saw waitresses in poodle skirts at the airport diner. Life is good. Tomorrow I'll be sitting in a boring meeting all day and life will suck.

24. I told Dave to stop being difficult
I actually don't want him to do that in general because then my blog will be boring.
