That’s exactly what my computer has done. Crashed and burned. It rebooted in the middle of posting earlier, thus the entry without a title. I am in the process of moving about 80 GB of music onto a secondary hard drive right now prior to ghosting my main partition so that’s pretty much it for tonight unless I get it done quicker than I think I will.
Need to go find that Ghost floppy, I know it’s around here somewhere…
Normally Friday is Pizza Day here at the house. It’s usually a pretty busy day for me at work and leads into the weekend which is always extremely busy for me. The wife is tired from working all week and neither of us wants to cook. We used to order from Domino’s but for some reason they quit delivering on this side of town and now we get our pizza from Papa John’s. It’s still pretty good but definitely different. One thing about getting pizza is that it’s a bit expensive to have delivered. The nice thing is that I can order online and not having to deal with the phone at all. The only thing missing that I like about Domino’s is coupons. Looking around I found a place to get free online coupons that I can use with Papa John’s. Sweet. Just go to the Papa John’s Coupons page and find the coupon code you need and when you check out from the website enter the code. That’s about as easy as you can get and as lazy as I am some days easy is where it’s at!
They also have coupons for plenty of other places as well, everything from consumer electronics and software to clothing and furniture.
Even with the meeting I made it home at a decent time today, right around 4 PM or so and only that late because I picked the girls up from school. I really need to make sure and go to bed at a decent time tonight. I felt like I was sleepwalking through the entire day. The fact that I go to bed at 11:30 and get up at 4:30 might have a little to do with it.
My head has been freaking pounding off and on for the last three days and today is no exception. I don’t know if I am getting a sinus infection or what but something is going to have to give here before I start pounding my head on the keyboard in hopes of relieving the pressure.
The meeting we were supposed to be having today was to include seven of the nine manager in the division, all of whom have food costs expenditures higher than they should. Mondays are food cost meeting day. If their food cost is high we spend a couple of hours checking tickets from the past week that they should have already checked but obviously haven’t been. Out of the seven, the only ones that showed up were my two that had to attend. I called the other district managers and let them know that they would get to hold their own meetings tomorrow and that I was on the way home. I stuck around about 20 minutes later than the meeting was to start and then left. Fuck them if they can’t get places in a timely manner. One of the managers from a store that is about 30 minutes from me was still in his store trying to get his paperwork together half an hour after we started. I just don’t have the time or patience for people that can’t get places on time anymore.
To aggravate matters my Internet connection is down again for the second time in a week. I am going to refrain from calling Charter as long as possible. It’s not like I can’t type this up offline anyway. I got home shortly before 4 and it was down when I got here, so there is no telling when they will get it back on, the asshats. That’s OK, I have to burn some stuff to DVD as well in order to get all of my stuff off of the HD and ready to ghost. I did come up with a 160 GB hard drive, but the one I need to ghost is 250 GB. Half the stuff on here is junk anyway.
Hey, looks like my connection just came back on. Very nice timing…
Another weekend has come to a close. For me it means heading into the slow part of the week and a chance to get some cleaning done at work and catch up my paperwork. I am sort of winding down a bit. Although I was off this past Friday, since I have only had one day off the last two weeks straight I think I am going to try and take Wednesday and Thursday off if I can get the store covered. After that I don’t have myself scheduled off until September 9th so i could use a couple of days off in a row. Besides, I really need to get the area for the second pond finished and one day has just not been enough rest lately. I am exhausted.
One thing I do need to try and get done on my off day is to see if I have an extra hard drive in the basement. I believe one of mine is getting ready to crap out and I need to ghost everything over onto a new one before losing all of my data.. That would not be a good thing.
I have to go ahead and start getting ready for work this morning but just wanted to write for a few minutes before I go in. Unfortunately there is no chance of an early day as we have a meeting this afternoon and with me running the thing it would be slightly difficult to get out of.
No letters from the boy today but hopefully today or tomorrow…
