I feel like I’m too tired to update, but I am anyway. Kipp is being a dear and doing one of my panels tomorrow morning. Thanks Kipp!! I owe ya! Now I only have to be at work from 8-7pm, or, if I take comp time, 10-7pm. But I’ll probably be there around 8:30, just because I have so much to do. I need to go through and evaluate new Help Desk software, and get more work done on sharepoint. I think we’re going to go to a PHP based help desk, and something open source. Scott found Zentrack, but I haven’t had a chance to play around with it any. Hopefully tomorrow, er, today.

Took Jonah and went to Mom’s tonight for dinner. She was feeling a bit down about things going on at work. She called me today and wanted to know if I could take a day off tomorrow, er, today and we could go do something. I just have too much going on to take any time off, and I felt bad about it, but she understood. I wish there was something more I could do, but I know that when things are bad at work, then work just plain sucks. This is spoken from experience of hell for the last two years. I feel like I can finally breath now that work is going good. I just wish things were the same with Mom.

Don’t you hate when you get some popcorn stuck between your teeth. You know, that outer skin from the kernal? I can’t seem to get it and now my gums are hurting where it’s lodged up between my tooth and my gums. Argh, frustrating.

Jonah was acting a little funny when I got home today, and it continued until right before I left Mom’s house. Then he slept the whole way home, and he’s been sleeping ever since. I couldn’t figure out why, except that maybe he had a tummy ache or something. Then I noticed that he chewed the cord to my cell phone charger. Chewed right through it. I wonder if he got shocked. That would make sense for his whining tonight. If he’s still acting whiney tomorrow I’m going to call the vet. There is good news tho. The pee stake is working! He goes right outside and pees right on it, in the rocks even. I’m so happy. Now if I can keep this habit up, I can save the $$ I’ve been spending on doggy diapers. No, these diapers don’t actually go ON him, it’s like a mat that goes on the floor that he can pee on. He’s doing good, I’m just crossing my fingers. I’ve also noticed he’s getting a bit shy around new people and places lately. I haven’t really socialized him that much in the last few weeks, and now since it stays lighter later I’ll start taking him to the dog park after work.

Oh yes, I have more to write about, but it will have to be in a different post. You know, like a hidden one
