I am in Astoria sitting in my awesome hotel room that looks out onto the Colombia River and the Astoria Bridge. It is truly a gray day out (I cannot see Washington across the river) and it is raining pretty well. I have seen two seals, a few barges and lots of birds. Do you think I can convince my boss to let me remotely work from here every day? Last week, Jen and I took our first road trip to McMinnville and Tillamook. We met with two county health departments and two hospitals. It was very worthwhile to hear what they are doing and how they are using our systems or why they are not. They also seemed to appreciate the face to face time. The xbox has taken on a life of its own lately. It has always had issues with the CD tray wanting to open on its own accord. For instance, if the xbox is plugged in but not turned on, it might just randomly turn on and open the tray. Well, it has gotten a lot worse. Now it seems to be dancing to its own beat – the tray is popping in and out like someone is sitting there pushing the open/close button non-stop. For the love of all that is holy, make it stop! Does anyone know an exorcist? I have been through an emotional roller coaster this week and I decided that it was time to take a drive and sing loudly and badly to music. Honestly, after singing my first two songs I could have just turned around and come home for I felt much better. Continue reading Covered by insurance? Last Sunday, Jodi and I split up. I did not see it coming so it was quite a shock for me. Basically, it came down to her not seeing it going anywhere. It is unfortunate, but I understand and respect her decision. We had a good talk and she did her best to answer all of my questions. Continue reading No more Starting this week I will be traveling around the state about twice a month to visit all of the hospitals and local health departments in the state. It looks like if we are able to keep to our proposed schedule we will be done with this task in September! Continue reading Hitting the road I have been sick for about a week and a half now. It started with a cough and then I got congested. On top of that I have had a weak headache going for the past few days. Woo-hoo! Anyways. I have noticed that on days that I feel horrible it is because I have had a crappy attitude while on days that I feel decent, it is because I have had a good attitude. I probably have had the exact same symptoms each time, it is just a matter of how I deal with it. It is amazing how our thoughts and attitudes color everything in our lives. I took a Chinese Calligraphy class about 5 years ago and loved it. Unfortunately, I have not touched the brushes since the class was over. When I was in Phoenix last month I grabbed them and brought them home. Well, today I finally broke them out and had no clue what to do. Luckily, I found a site online that explained how to do the 7 basic brush strokes. I am decent at doing the horizontal bar, everything else is horrid. I did not always understand the instructions but after a few attempts what I learned in class started to creep back into my memory. Now I just need to do it enough to build up the muscle memory. And best of all – I did not spill the ink. Yeah! Click on image to see full size.
Ran across an infographic about Facebook over it’s six years of existence. Yes it has only been six years. Here are some of the scary stats:
I am soooooo glad I do not have to provide tech support for their servers! |
