Well, since it’s still under warrenty, Mr computer is going to fly off to santa’s workshop, and be repaired and back home inside of 8 working days, for free. (rather than me having to crack it open and replace a power supply, which is a pain in the rump with this particular case.)

Maybe I’ll see what I can cobble together of my old parts, video card and such in the meantime, and continue to work on assorted hubbub. I know that middle-brain is There-capable, but I doubt it’s up to superheroics.

I get to do trainings for Sat-mapping and codeRED via teleconference to Oklahoma, Nevada, Ohio, Florida and Rhode Island in about a month’s time… I’m enthused about that… it means that expansion is actually taking place. We’ve also put a lobbyist on the payroll (I wonder if that was BK’s final reason for droppping CS to a more drastically cut schedule…) Hopefully that’ll mean more funding in place for us next Fed-pay time. I have to produce lists of duties for CS to perform during his twin six-hour shifts each week, and he has to show that he’s on top of them, and not just checking his personal email on the clock. BK’s major gripe is that she doesn’t *see* work being done, so she doesn’t know if it is… thus, the work order list for him. She knows I do things, because of a monthly and weekly progress report that I email to her, (keeping a copy for myself, should she decide to ask “What did you do last october? We need to validate funding for Ohio,” or whatnot.

Crazy day, so off to actually eat some lunch during my lunchtime, and I’ll catch you later, dear journal.
