So!<\/p>\n
1) The hosting for Laineyd.com comes due on 4\/30\/11 and this year I procrastinated paying it until May 9th. Until I finally got around to paying for hosting, I didn’t want to post here because it felt a little like stealing.<\/p>\n
2) Debating the Purchase of a New Dishwasher (eventually deciding against it for now, although I hope that Lowes has it on a lovely little sale sometime around Labor Day)<\/p>\n
3) Making friends wherever I go at work. I actually had a client tell my supervisor Belinda that they’re afraid of me (or possibly my semi supervisor Patty* and I). And today I had a client who emailed me a page of her company’s bank statement and asked me to reconcile each line that represented a debit or credit from my employer. I did that, going line by line, and also provided reports from our software that literally said things like “Federal income tax, $50, billing $35, etc” and she had the nerve (!) to say that she didn’t understand it, that nothing I sent her helped and that she wanted her $ back.<\/p>\n
(Granted: her payroll was a mess, but it’s been baby-ass smooth ever since. I went ahead and credited it to the client and then got it on the chin from Belinda for that. Pfffht).<\/p>\n
(And you know what’s really aggravating? The client CC’d someone who works for the client’s prior processor who then emailed ME to say that I’d better credit the client. Dude. Not your client anymore. MY client).<\/p>\n
4) Obsessively checking Expedia.com for fares to Las Vegas for November. Nerd World 2011 is being held there again, and I want to go so badly. Then again, the conference could be held at the fanciest steakhouse in Little Rock, AR and I’d be pretty excited. I am so ready for a vacation!<\/p>\n
5) And then there was the day that I could have written in the blog but instead decided to read the archives of my Facebook statuses all the way back to November 2008 because I wanted to see what I’d written while we were in Malaysia. It was interesting in a very navel-gazing-y way.<\/p>\n
And of course, there’s lots of stuff that I wrote that’s growing moss in the “drafts” section, mostly “blah blah baby?” “blah blah WHY WHY WHY?” and really, who wants to read that? That’s it. I have written LOTS here, it’s just all invisible!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
