Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!
O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.
O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.
O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!
Well, just because some things are complicated doesn’t make me curse Bill Gates. Office is a heck of a great product really, you just have to know how to do it. :~)
Praise Bill Gates!
mmmmmm...six...
Heh...I was gonna suggest that graphic be posted. ;-)
Ungh...it’s just starting to hit me that I now have just two evenings left to prepare for going home. I haven’t started packing, I don’t know how to get to the hotel where I’m parking and picking up the shuttle, and I don’t have any food for the trip, which is going to be more than twelve hours, so I should get *something*, I guess. And I’m already worrying about all the things I could forget.
I hate travel. I really, really hate it.
And C#/.NET is a beautiful, beautiful thing. MSDN’s documentation is wonderful.
Formatting Office is frustrating though. But Microsoft has done some stuff really right in the last couple years.
Just remember not to pack any liquids. Or jellies. And pack a bunch of books.
Great!
Now I’m feeling guilty about gettin’ you all confused with the style thing.
Doh!
Gonna have books and notebooks. It’s going to be a lonnnnng day. I’d better make sure I have plenty of headache remedies, too.
For foods, you can have pretty much anything not-liquid, right?
Aren't you just a ray of sunshine! :~)
You can buy meals on the plane. They've been quite good when we've gone. There's fast food in the airports. Bringing food sounds way more complicated, but maybe that's just me.
Airport / airplane food is a heck of a lot more expensive than just bringing some crackers and some such stuff, though. :-\
I just wish I could get into a better frame of mind. I’m still in hyper-alert, something-really-bad-is-about-to-happen mode. And it’s not just the looming travel that’s doing it. Dunno what’s wrong with me.
When you’re in vacation mode, you’re not living on crackers, you’re having something good and paying money for it.
I don’t know what’s wrong either, but cutting loose from some of these worries and treating yourself a little might help. On your trip, take plenty of pocket cash and spend it. Buy yourself a nice lunch.
Well, some of it, but I think C# was all them and it’s just beautiful.
*hiss*
I curse his name daily due to two little words... Internet Explorer. ;~)
I’ve never had one problem with Internet Explorer :~)
Airplane snacks run $4-5 for a box of salty-sugary-starch crap. I keep a ziplock of (homemade) trail mix in my carry-on, along with two books and a bottle of water. I bring the trail mix and books from home which frees cash to buy water behind security. It's a ritual that's somewhere between supersition and insurance. Any time I fly without trail mix, water, and a book, there are storms or delays or other assorted miseries.
Heh...when the organization I worked for in DC went throough a nasty reorganization, I was ~briefly~ given responsibility for about 3/4 of the entire operation. I was 28 and in waaaaaaayyy over my head.
I made the mistake of telling the Chairman of the Board who was acting as Director. He said “give me a report of all that you’re doing.”
So I did. Then he fired me.
