So, as I was reminded Whoo hoo! for Irwin for getting this up and running. I'm not quite "live" yet at Piles Of Rock. I'm trying to import my diaryland archives, but when I tried last night, all I got was blank entries. I'm planning on messing around with it again tonight.

Ok, begin rant. I got yelled at by the A/C repairman dispatcher this morning. First, she made it seem like I was asking her a huge favor to get the repair guy out this afternoon or tomorrow. This was despite the fact that I called on Monday and asked her to schedule me at the end of this week. She said she would call back Wednesday night (which she didn't). So I called this morning. First she left me on hold for like 10 minutes. Then she came back and said that the technician had "agreed" (like he has any choice!) to come out tomorrow afternoon. But, she derided (in a harsh, mother-yelling-at-small-child manner), "There better be someone there this time. Last time he came there was no one there." Last time was Veteran's Day, when he was supposed to come between 9 and noon. I sat home until 11:30 and then went swimming. Nick stayed home in my place (and I know he was there because when I came back from swimming he was still in his PJ's). The A/C guy called at 12:20 to say he was on his way over and that I should call him back. I didn't get the message until 20 minutes later, and I did call him back, but it went strait to voicemail (where I left a message that someone could wait at home until 4 p.m.). I also left this same message at the dispatcher. Anyway, no response. That evening, I called to see what happened, and they said they would call me back with details. Again no response. Ug ug ug!! You may wonder why I don't change companies? Well, this is the one my home warranty contracts too, so I'm stuck. Not quite, though, if he doesn't show up tomorrow, I'm calling the home warranty company and insisting they find me someone new. End rant.

This is such crap. Why does it bother me so? Its completely unimportant. Better to raise my blood pressure over other things.

On the agenda for today: Working on an old project that I was kind of sick of last year, but I don't mind giving it a little bit of new life for now. Its more frustrating because the results aren't really that important at least in the near-term, though there is potential in the long-term which is why its important to work on it. I'm more of an instant gratification kind of gal. Or maybe its a limited attention span on my part. Anyway, Gavin tells me that my emotions about this project are too readable (judging by me, very theatrically, rolling my eyes this morning while talking about it). So, I'm also going to use this project to work on my poker face.

After that class. I'm hoping class next Tuesday is canceled. I can't wait to go to D.C.! I love D.C.! My favorite cities in the world list includes Washington, D.C. (if you're interested, the list can be rounded out with Vienna, Rome, Edinburgh, and San Francisco).

Ok, I feel like even more of a slacker than usual this morning. We were way too social in my office. The social center of the universe, that's my office.
