It was Monday all day long. Busy and crazy. However, we are back to full force tech-wise, that's a good thing. A bad thing is that one of my co-workers is going to MRI. She'll still be with us in CT for a while yet, though, until she gets replaced. Anyway, I met the guy from CAT at 17:30 tonight. Actually, I decided to get a head start and I was there at 17:00, and I found out that they don't open on Mondays. It was 100F out, but I'd parked on the east side of the building in the shade, and there was a nice little breeze, so I leaned on the truck and listened to NPR for a half-hour. Once he came and explained the problem to me, I decided that it must be indexing, so I set the machine to re-index all of the databases, hopefully that'll fix it all up. If it doesn't, I'll have to try some other things... if I can think of any. It'll run all night, it hasn't been re-indexed since March of this year. I don't think that I've recovered properly from Friday and Saturday yet, my ass is draggin' big time. Speaking of which, It's feeling like somebody sandpapered it... I've still got that other problem. I know, TMI. Sorry. I haven't worked out for more than a week now, and that's bad, I know. I'm on secondary call tonight, and on full call tomorrow, so my next chance will be Wednesday. Of course, I have the weights downstairs, and several machines that I could clear out and work out on.... I'm kinda feeling like I *need* to exercise, and I guess that's good, heh? Eight-day forecast: no chance of rain, high 90-100F. Kansas, gotta love it. Or leave it. Interesting that BBush is defending his business practices in the early 90s. And he accuses democrats of trying to make an issue of it in an election year. Ummm. Remember Whitewater? Eight years of repiglican bullshit, and they think that's forgotten? Not here it isn't. We need some democrapic investigations here, hell with this turn the other cheek, live and let live bs. Are there any democraps as evil incarnate as Starr? Are there any democrapic stars at all? Sadly, no. Where is the blood-lust? Only, I fear, in repiglican hearts. Who will lead us? Only the followers are present, milling about, looking for one who is even a quarter-inch taller.... Un, no, not me, sorry, guy... I cannot even lead the pledge of allegiance to please most people. Kansas is *not* the world. The US of A is not the world. Sadly, the world is *not* the universe. How insignificant we are. I really wanted to use the "F" word, but I thought of my mother's face and decided not to. You go, Mom! Anyways, our arguments are minor in the universe, indeed, we are ourselves minor in the time-span of our insignificant earth. An atom in a grain of sand. And we have the audacity to argue about god! Live, live, live... and then die. Love while you can, when you can, who you can. All of this BS reminds me of my Philosophy page, which I haven't looked at for a long time. Not that *any* of this is BS, of course.
