GuestGeek Out!
Gotta handful of stuff for you. Reviews, commentary, bitching and moaning, etc...
brief. cause there's a lot going on.
Employment trends....
I'm tired of my current job.
things have changed. rules and policies are no longer consistently supported, and if my staff or myself try to enforce a rule, we're reprimanded for it. And of course, if anything goes wrong as a result - we're to blame, even though we're not allowed to enforce the rules.
Parenting is HARD
couple of things have had my attention recently:
a) elder daughter has eye sight issues
b) elder daughter lies a lot
c) work environment is obscenely & irresponsibly misdirected
d) spring=mowing the lawn all the time
Note:
HELP! Any suggestions on dealing with lying child?!?!!?
Pampas Grass must Die!!!!
In central Texas, there is a plant used quite often in landscaping called Pampas Grass. I call it hateful blades of death. I can see why people plant it to hide unsightly aspects of their homes, like where the meters are and where the utilities tie in- as my wife did. Because it grows quickly, survives drought and heat, and continues to grow, long after you wish it would stop.
and yes, my wife did most of the work. I just took pictures and complained about the heat.
Ipod Shuffle!
So the by product of my adventures in hollywood (separate story, later, if I can ever get it written down) was my coming home with an Ipod Shuffle! (Bill- great wedding and best gifts to the wedding party ev-ah).
of course, I spent the majority of my trip contemplating the random issues and horror stories I've heard about itunes destroying peoples collections on windows , and the traumas I've seen written about getting ipod anything working with linux.
I had come up with this elaborate plan to store much of my collection on a double layer dvd, install itunes on a work or friends machine... all just to load my shuffle.
But I need not fear- Amarok & Mandriva worked 99% flawlessly!
