Super duper special thanks to Amanda for helping me figure out the NAIC (National Association of Investment Clubs) accounting stuff. My part of the accounting is now up to date. (I hadn't recorded anything from the first 3 meetings)

(for the long-time reader, Amanda above is different from Amanda who I dated. Above is Amanda G, who you may have met at UH.)

Today is Wendesday, but not KTRU day. My new KTRU shift if 7 to 10pm Saturday night!! To me, this kinda means I'll be at ultimate at UH each Saturday. Maybe some of the ultimate peeps will listen before the games!

Work yesterday was cool, but I'm stuck on one little thingy... The administrator of our database is allowed to change people's names and emails in the database. That was easy enough to code. Now I'm adding the simple check to see if the "new" name is already in our database. If so, produce an error message and do not add the name.

Part of the trick is handling multiple record changes at once. Admin is allowed to select any number of names and change any or all or none of them at once. I need to change the ones that can be changed, not change the ones that already exist, and if there were some invalid names, show that list and the reason it was invalid.

The way SAS passes variables between screens and from pre-processor to processor is the trick for me..

Enjoy your great day!!!!

(My 11011th day)

Work was cool; with help from Kevin I finally am one tiny bit away from finishing the coding I've been working on for 3 days. I just need to do final testing tomorrow.

Also tomorrow, we're going to interview a guy (Duane) to hopefully take over as network administrator. I was originally hired into the position, but I have found that I enjoy programming more.

At the end of work, I switched two CD Rom drives - removed from Karla's machine the one that is a CD writer, and replaced it with just a normal CD Rom. Put the CDW into a different machine. Karla didn't want to be kicked off her machine each time someone needs to burn a CD.

After work, I said HI to youth at Diedrich's Coffee - it was the reincarnation of Wednesday Night Dinners, spearheaded by Ryan. Props to him for getting a great turnout!

I didn't stay long; I was s'posed to meet Wende at home at 7:00pm. I didn't even leave work until 6:39pm.

As I was leaving, I saw a familiar face from UH... What's her name???? I strained my brain for a moment, but couldn't think of it. I walked up, and she recognized me as I said, "I can't remember your name...."

(Maggie and Molly, guess who it was!)

"Diana" (ha ha too late)

Big hug to her and we talk talk talked for a bit... but speaking of late I was so late for Wende by the time I left.

Upon arrival home, I cleared with Wende - told her I was late because I chose to say HI to Diana who I hadn't seen in 5 years.

Wende said she wanted me to have called when I knew I'd be late.

(The grand irony of being late and clearing with Wende is that part of the conversation with Diane was how well Wende and I communicate and clear up problems between us. I am so thankful for me an' Wende's relationship - that we are able to truly communicate openly and quickly and effectively!!)

At dinner of pasta and salad (lovely, just lovely) and then off to Wendesday night ultimate.

I got to the field at 8-something and played only like 1.5 hours. Super fun, and I had 1 great almost catch, and then several pretty good catches and throws.

Good night!!
