“Well, someone’s got to break the ice and it might as well be me, I mean, I’m used to being a hostess, it’s part of my husband’s work and it’s always difficult when a group of new friends meet together for the first time to get aquatinted, though I’m perfectly prepared to start the ball rolling, I mean, I, I have absolutely no idea what we’re doing here or what I’m doing here or what this place is about, but I am determined to enjoy myself, and very intrigued, and oh my this soup’s delicious isn’t it?”

- So while walking down the corridor here in the basement of the Cummins COB, I walked by this guy in a wheelchair who also works down here. I wonder if he realized, at the time, that there were multicolored, blinking lights in the front wheels of his wheelchair. It’s freakin’ Christmas-time in them thar wheels. He gave me an odd stare when passing by me, saying “hello” and stuff.
- What is it about being an e-mail newbie that makes you want to forward all the stupid shit in your inbox to people like me, who don’t give a flying fark about it? MNS can probably sympathize with my plight. If another friend sends me another e-mail hoax, I’m going to drop a funk bomb on ‘em. That’s right folks! I’m sending George Clinton to smoke the bitch.
- I have decided that I like Nagios much better than Big Brother for monitoring networks and servers. Nagios has definitely come a long way since the first time I tried it (back years ago when it was called NetSaint).
- Since I lost my cell phone (LG 5350) I went ahead and bought another phone of the same model. I can’t believe I just spent another $150.00 on a cell phone. On the bright side, if someone does try to activate my old phone, Sprint PCS will keep it and should notify me so I can get it back.
- In about a week I’m heading down south to see Thunder Over Louisville, which is this fireworks display held on one of the bridges crossing the Ohio River. As I understand, it officialy kicks off all of the events leading up to the Kentucky Derby. I’m going to go stay with my sister and her husband.
