night and day

16 september 1999

Last night after work I drove to KTRU to drop off a CD I had reviewed. It's a good CD; got a good review. I had one problem, though; I left the CD at home and had just brought the case. Doh!

After that I cruised to Mad Potter to paint my plate and Jennifer was there, "hey let's go for a walk." We walked and she expressed a large amount of confusion and general unhappiness about some people in her life. I listened and (hopefully) helped her make some decisions about how to handle the various situations.

Then went over to Kristen's to watch a movie. We talked and stuff and when her brother Matt got home, he was all, "where's the dogs?"

"What?"

Apparently they had gotten out of the outside gate when Kristen let them outside. We hung out outside in the street for a bit while Matt drove around the neighborhood looking for them. Two relatively big german shepherds. Found them and turns out one had hurt her foot; couldn't walk. We determined it was just a surface wound and not a broken bone or anything. That's good, but still bad in a way.

Then we started the movie and it *SUCKED*!!

I encourage everyone to not see Another Day in Paradise.

We didn't finish the movie.

I left late, went to Wende's to help her eat the ice cream that was slowly melting in her freezer that's not working very well. Then it was even later, so I spent the night at Wende's house and had good breakfast and ice cream in the morning before work.

Today at work I've been mostly spending the whole morning messing with a UPS (not United Parcel Service, but Uninterruptable Power Supply) that doesn't seem to work correctly no matter what combination of com ports, cables, or software versions I've tried.

At one point, a peer of mine was talking to the rep at the UPS place and they were both frustrated and almost got grouchy at one another. Fortunately my peer got a phone call and had to leave the room.

Still no success on the UPS. So now I'm going through the process of renewing our digital ID key thing with VeriSign, so we can have a secure web server. So much stuff to learn! permalink
