Where it all began

Today is the anniversary of the misery that I experience day in and day out. The US Naval Historical Center marks September 9, 1945 as the day Lt. Grace Hopper ‘debugged’ the first computer bug:

Moth found trapped between points at Relay # 70, Panel F, of the Mark II Aiken Relay Calculator while it was being tested at Harvard University, 9 September 1945. The operators affixed the moth to the computer log, with the entry: “First actual case of bug being found”. They put out the word that they had “debugged” the machine, thus introducing the term “debugging a computer program”.

JUST as I suspected

Working With Idiots Can Kill You!

Not that this is ANY surprise… But it sure is good to see that someone has statistical evidence to back it up… My favorite quote is this:

“One woman had to be rushed to the hospital after her assistant shredded important company tax documents instead of copying them. A man told us he collapsed right at his desk because the woman at the next cubicle kept asking him for correction fluid — for her computer monitor.

My boys are 2 and 0

Colorado one again – this time against UCLA – 16 to 14. MAN I would have loved to have seen it! 😉

The Buffaloes (2-0) trailed 14-10 with five minutes remaining before marching 63 yards in 11 plays for the winning score.

WOO HOO!

Freakin out

Ok.. so, as Matt and Kevin can attest, I spent the day freaking out about our neighbors showing up on the door step with pitch forks after a day of intolerable noise… My solution – flee the scene over to Matt and Brian’s and partaking in a few glasses of wine… Kevin was also nice enough to call our downstairs neighbor and make sure he understood what we were up to (and when it would end)…

But I have to say.. I came home tonight to a freshly sanded and filled floor and DAMN… Looks so nice.. and they’re far from done… Still have to sand off the filler and put the finish on it.. But seeing it look like that makes me feel MUCH better…

woo hoo…

My neighbors are going to kill me

Oh my GOD… I knew that sanding was loud but I had NO IDEA… Its echoing up and down the block… Its CRAZY… I’m SO EMBARRASSED.

The floor

Ugggg… Floring guys come today – them AND the dishwasher repair guy.. What a royal pain in the ass… Since we’re re-doing the hall AND my office we got to spend last night hauling EVERYTHING out of my office into the living room and right now the living room looks like a storage locker. My LORD – I truely am the pack rat from HELL

But this is all gonna look fantastic in the end and all worth it. A working dishwasher and gorgeous hard wood floors..

right??

hmmm… 😉
