Passport

Today I will be turning in my passport application. I am very excited! Once it comes back I will be able to travel anywhere in the world (within reason), if I want and can afford to go.

Trips to Canada do not yet require a passport, but I hope someday to make a trip somewhere that will. :-)

Why I've Been Too Busy to Post

OK, I know it has been a while since I have posted, but I have a very good reason...I've been too busy.

During the past four weeks I have coordinated about 11 events for work. I have been assigned full responsibility for managing and filling my boss' schedule. We have had a major project take-off. And I have worked instead of blogging while eating my lunches every day at my desk (when I took time to eat at all).

Now I can take a breath and get down to my normally busy life instead of an extraordinarily busy one. (grin) So maybe I'll have time to write once in a while.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Computer Crashes - Good News & Bad News

My computer hard drive crashed last week. There is good news and bad news.

Good news: I didn't lose any real "work" documents. Per office procedures, all files were saved on the server which is backed-up regularly. I can honestly say I practice what I preach! (I tell people on a regular basis that it is not "if" their hard drive crashes but "when.")
Bad news: I lost most of my favorites which are not backed up to the server. So if you know me and have a blog, please give me your blog address again. (Except QOC which I have memorized.)
Good news: I did have some favorites saved on the server from when I switched computers several months ago.
Good news: My replacement computer is faster than my old one.
Hopefully good news: Maybe this will motivate me to research how to get SBS 2003 to do keep a copy of My Favorites on the server.
Bad news: The server keeps restarting itself at various times in the day. Nothing consistent mind you, but it is getting annoying. (And who knows when it will develop into a serious problem.)
Good news: I have been authorized to purchase a new server.
