Budget+computer-connection=Nowork

October 9, 2008

The title about sums up my evening, or at least a point in my evening.
I was working at work, when my carpooler appeared (late – was not sure he was still there)
Sure – convince me to go home – at a breaking point.
Worked in the car until it got too dark – editing a budget presentation
Don’t lose steam – connect via remote desktop – put edits into presentation
Stop to eat a porkchop
What’s this – connection has been lost?
No apparent ability to re-connect and don’t know what is going on at work site …

Guess this will be a morning rush job – hope my prior work saved OK

Carpooling (and food)

October 9, 2008

This post is being written while waiting for a carpool. And since I don’t have an I-whatever they are, I am tied to the laptop that could be moved, except I have it locked down. So – the thought is, better to be able to spend a moment blogging, or wanting to be on the road to get to work sooner. It is 6:57 by my clock, and 7 is generally the latest we leave, so ….

In the meantime, C & I took a nice evening walk to do some grocery shopping, including picking up a pumpkin for Soup in a Pumpkin on Saturday, bananas, cliff bars, pepitas, dogs, and a few other things I can’t remember. Finding a pumpkin big enough for 10 was the real goal. Accomplished at the Rising Sun Farms stand north of us. Then after dropping off the pumpkin and bananas, we headed south to Trader Joes for everything else.

Finally a dinner of chicken and roasted potatoes, crossword and Soduko (sp? Ashlan has me so mixed up on this one I never know which is correct) from the evening paper, and I was ready for some shut eye. Turkey is thawing (I haven’t touched it myself, so I guess I don’t even know the condition – that will be tonight’s adventure). 

After spending these few minutes I realize this was really about food. Gotta go ———>
