While I am that kind of sick, I am also of ill health these past five days. I've been coughing, sneezing, post-nasal dripping, and fighting off the demon fever. While this has left me with quite a lot of free time, it has also unfortunately left me with little willpower to accomplish anything with it.
My wonderful IRiver has only a few hundred MP3s on it, and my entire CD collection remains unconverted and uncompressed.
On the plus side, I have woken up from quite a few naps drenched in sweat.
In other news, the health insurance I receive from my employer is almost worthless. It took four prescriptions from the nurse-practitioner (yes, I can't afford to go to a real doctor) before I was able to get a prescription that would cost under $60. My health insurance is the kind that's fine as long as you don't try to use it.
As a result, instead of getting my medicine Sunday, I got it late today after many calls and two doctors visits. This has resulted in me missing two days of work. But on the plus side, Cumulus saved a few bucks by getting a cheaper health plan. Now, one could argue that the lost productivity is greater than the health care savings and they actually lost money, but productivity does not appear on a budget line... so no one gets a bonus for that. Thus, $60 for Allegra. Good times.
And tonight thank God it's themmmm...... Innnstead of youuuuuuuuu!!!
U2 and Bono rock it hard at Christmastime.
That song plus, "Baby, Please Come Home" = Good Christmas.
I am off to the land of Jersey for the Christmas Holiday. Good progress is being made on the Mambo site overaul. I have a big project ahead of me when I return to get the comments to work out, but after that all I have to do is import the blog and forums, a little more design magic, and poof! New site.
My Iriver is loaded and I will be ready to rip to my little heart's content in a day when I get home to add to my collection. On top of that, I may be doing it on a fancy ass new computer that I alerted my Dad to.
My new favorite site FatWallet reveals a deal for a 2800+ Athlon Sempron, 256MB RAM, 40 GB HD, onbaord video and audio, 9-in-1 media card reader, network card and modem - with keyboard and mouse, no monitor -- for $179 after rebate. That may just be the most ridiculous deal I have ever heard of. Check it out here.
Anyway, the best of Holiday wishes to all, especially Jon Lloyd - one half of the Monk and Dave Show. He quit his job as a salesperson at my radio station today. I'll have more to say about this in a day or two, but you'll have to find it to read it, if you know what I mean. If not, then comment this, and I'll tell you.
A Happy New Year to all.
I am back from Jersey, and only had my bags delayed one flight, leaving me luggageless for a few hours. I had a great time, but also miss not seeing everybody out in Detroit. I think a visit out there may be in order soon.
I think I may flip to the new site overhaul in the next week or so, even though it is unfinished. That should give me the motivation to make the move quickly. I am having some serious troubles gettign the comments thing to work, so comments on my blog entries may return to the way they were pre-forum, where they just are a link at the bottom of every entry. It may take a month plus to figure that one out, and it may be impossible.
I don't know, part of me says not to fix it if it ain't broken, but then the rest of me is hell-bent on tinkering. I don't think anything I ever installed on this site was ever done with much forethought, so it may be the way to go.
Basically, the site will be wacky for a few days -- the image gallery may be offline for awhile, the blog entries and forum may take some time to be set up properly, and the design will be lacking until the functionality is at least achieved baseline.
Give it a week before you start complaining. Unless you like it, then begin complimenting immediately.
YES!!! I was telling Amber that a Giants win, especially if Tiki got the record and Eli played well would be the difference between a sucky six month offseason and a happy one. I have been pretty positive on this team, as they were decimated by injury (17 players on Injured reserve) and had no good QB option to speak of - Warner was holding the ball too long and Eli just needed time.
Well, time has passed and Eli looks a lot better. 3TDs tonight, along with an o-line that looked good outside of Petitgout's false starts (probably back-injury related). The only problem is that the team appears to have cap trouble again if they drop some underperformers like Shaun Williams and Ike Hilliard. Accorsi is at fault, but he appears to have had his role reduced.
Anyway, great game!
I hope to have the site change up by midweek. The comments thing may come a bit later, but it looks like it just might work. Off to sleep.
