No idea what I am doing this weekend. Stupid Direct Deposit doesn’t take affect until February 14th, so I have to wait… AHHHH. Anywho thought I was going to be spending with Cammy this weekend but were in a bit of a pickle right now. She can come to me though. I love her to death but she has to start take action and I am not going to be the one that always initiates. But enough about that I don’t need the entire Internet to know what we are up to.

Lately the hits on my blog have gone up tremendously. For a lot of weird reasons though. Because its a blog and search engines uses keyword technologies it picks up words like “2004 year in review” or “ganster clothing” it is kind of funny. Oh well. I’ll probably get another 10 extra hits because of the last sentence.

So I will see how the weekend develops. Tomorrow I have to put in a new alternator in my car for my big business trip on Wednesday. It is so cool… Portland’s best sushi place is 2 blocks down from my hotel plus it has a SINGLE dollar sign on Citysearch, which means its el cheapo. I am LOVING that idea.

Today I got hugely embarrased at work today. My computer skills were put to match by the experience by my boss. She is 70 something. In any case… our small HP Laserjet 1012 wasn’t working. It said on the computer it was conected to that it said that it couldn’t detect the ink cartridge (the driver’s words exactly… funny since it uses toner… anyways). I had Dee (the lady) buy new toner. I put in the new toner and it still gives the same error message. Dee comes down and take out the paper and bickers at me that I have no experience… presses the button and it works. Just shows you that I can make stupid mistakes too… however that mistake I made gave her a big confidence boost…. something I am not very happy with (no offense). Our db system in Seattle is connected to Portland and we suffer from slow downs a lot. I have already spoken to Sean in Portland we are trying to find the root of the problem as we only use 20% of our bandwidth in Seattle and Portland is at 30%. Not to mention that pings between a Seattle and Portland computer is only 12-16ms… not very much.

So Dee goes write this utterly stupid memo saying something like we have been suffering from slowdowns and it just sounded stupid. Man I was a little ticked when I read it but swallowed it. After next Wednesday it’ll be my business and I’ll tell her off if she tries to make it hers, because in the end her boss is Huck and Marty. Huck likes me and Dee will just have to deal with it. Anyways… there you have some EDI drama….

Signing off,

Yvo
