Cold. Windy. Avery and I went to a greenhouse where we spent some time pretending it’s spring. We are hopeful it will come eventually and brought home a few plants. * Not one word from my office today. That’s a really good thing!

Shipping is shipping. That means my Vantage v8.03.305E installation is complete. There’s still more than a little bit of tweaking to do. But, we’re operational.

I didn’t sleep very well last night. * You have no idea how disappointed I am to be wearing socks today. But! If that’s my biggest disappointment today I will be grateful. I’m waiting on word that my database conversion is done, on media and ready to pick up. I won’t wait here at home much longer. At 7:00 I’ll take my knitting and wait in the Software Vendor’s lobby. * I left my knitting in the car and paced the floor instead. I was more noticeable that way. Database and other stuff on media in hand and out their door by 8:30. Now if only I could do something about Rent-A-Geek’s “I can’t do this” attitude. I really want to snap; “fine, don’t. Leave. I’ll do it myself”. * We’re up and running! There are issues. Like, no one can print, or even print preview, anything. The Pissy People hate it already, the Positive Thinkers love it. No surprise there. We’ve seen the last of Rent-A-Geek for a week or so. Tomorrow I’m on my own. No biggie, I can handle it. I hope. I couldn’t have done it without those cherry and dark chocolate M&Ms. And the fact that I didn’t eat them all speaks to how well it went, actually.

Caribou Coffee #36. Misery really does love company. Supportive and sympathetic company.
“The Keepers of the House” by Shirley Ann Grau
Abigail was the last keeper of the house, the last to know the Howland family’s secrets. Now, in the name of all her brothers and sisters, she must take her bitter revenge on the small-minded Southern town that shamed them, persecuted them, but could never destroy them.
