iphone-gate? really?

i know nothing about it, just saw the title & went "yeesh!"

today was pretty crazy-busy & interesting!  spent the morning investigating some stuff.  no resolution, so gotta investigate more next week.  whee!  (well, could be a whee!  could be a grrr!  we'll see how it shakes out!)  lunch at TPC - gorgeous campus & good food.  nice meeting all around, really.  of course, there's always some sort of drama that comes up, but i'm just going to leave that alone.  i was already all ranty about it to some of you!  *laugh* 

i spent the afternoon in a conference room w/ a couple ppl & a laptop, testing stuff for one of my latest projects.  it was fun!!  and i also got to play around w/ windows 2007, so i'm comfortable now setting it up on my computer.  oh, nuts, i was gonna do that before i left tonight!  ah well, monday, then. 

(sidebar: my computer just suddenly decided it wants to sound like an airplane engine...eep!)

as predicted by the weather ppl, about 3 o'clock the skies got dark & storms moved thru the area.  by 5 o'clock, it was a MONSOON.  i, of course, got drenched going to my car.  i even when to the door closest to it.  it took me 15 seconds to scurry (cuz i don't run) from the door to the car.  and i was DRENCHED!  *laugh*  thankfully, by the time i got across the bridge it'd tapered off & i was able to feed chloe some petrol w/o getting re-drenched once i'd started to dry off!  heh.  i'd been planning to do some shopping after work, too, but didn't feel comfortable going into the stores soaked, or even dry-but-rumpled.  ya know?!

i came home & chatted w/ nicki, april & joy (too brief!), read some blogs & watched flashforward & GH.  went out for onion rings about 9.  they were beer battered & YUM-O!  now i think it's time to attempt to finish my book before bed.  turn on the Pandora (if the computer lets me... loud much!  hopefully it's not overheating!  eep!) & relax... : )  have a great night & a wonderful tomorrow!  i have a bridal shower to go to in the afternoon & then i was gonna hang out w/ mom & leyton, but jen decided she wasn't going to do whatever tournament & so leyton's not staying the night now.  (side note - when you've arranged for a sitter, even if that sitter is a grandparent or aunt or uncle, and then your plans change so you won't need that sitter anymore, it is usually considered POLITE to inform them in as timely a manner as possible.  not contacting them w/ the change of plans, and even more not apologizing when they find out thru other means, is just rude.  you don't want to be rude, i know you don't.  so please have some consideration for the ppl who do you FAVORS so you can go out & do whatever, okay?  okay.  glad we had this little talk.) 

goodnight and TTFN!  : ) 

ohhhhh yeah... and in case you've missed them, here are some military music videos that i have been quite enjoying this week!!  love ya!

  1. Better to scurry and get wet than to run and slip and crack your head open!
