Great Idea

I just ran across a website dedicated to a dream of some young men I sorta know. It reminds me of the infamous boat trip, David, Shaun and I went on that turned us into men. Check it out and give them ideas.

Seminar

Currently I am a seminar in Columbus that is supposed to teach me about the Microsoft Office product Excel. It is basically so that I can help the many people back at work who use excel. The problem is that I don't use excel. I wonder if maybe one of them should have come to the seminar instead. It has been rather informative and I do think it will be helpful. This is my lunch break, and the hotel has WI fi so I figured, "may as well update the blog". By the way, I found this really cool thing on google. If you have a Google ID, You can set up an rss reader to tell when your friends blogs update. It is awesome, I don't have to visit everyone's sites to see if they have updated. I may actually comment on some of them now. No promises.

Another video of note

Wow. Two in one night. Sorry, I ran across this one about medivial tech support and about died. Enjoy.


Tech Support

A video about engineers

It is just plain old hard for me to post on my blog anymore. I usually would rather read, am to tired, or my wife is working on her blogs. I also have many things to do around the house and if you know me at all, I am not handy. I can fix stuff... some of the time, and it better not be to complicated. In other words I don't have the knack, as this cartoon explains. (beware engineers, this cartoon is about you.)

Dilbert - The Knack - Engineer

Anyway, we have a drawer in our kitchen that the front is broken off of. This has happened so many times before that it isn't fixable. We really need new kitchen cabinets and counter tops, but that is so pricey. I feel I need to save up for my girls to get braces and married someday. I also have been having a steady war with our computer and Microsoft office 2003. Our old computer died. We buy a new computer. Works great. Except it will not let us reinstall our old version of office 2003. I've have made one arduous call to Microsoft and am planning another one tomorrow. The third issue is our phone. I don't even want to go into it. The crackles, buzzes and hums and plain ol unanswerable calls have been going on for months. I know if I call AT&T they will come out, say it is our problem, then charge us 120 $ for the visit. One good thing is that our problem toilet is now gone, replaced by the great guys at West Jeff Plumbing. Ohh.. If only I had the knack.
