Fruit smoothie at home for breakfast. I wore my glasses to work today—something I rarely do—because I accidentally fell asleep with my contacts in last night. Oops! Listserv updates. Web calendar updates. Reviewed resumes for Jeff. Submitted a support request to Dell for Chris's D/Dock. Replaced the transfer roller for the color laserprinter. Laptop setup with Joel. Met with Susie. D/Dock troubleshooting for Chris. Sent out more quote requests on our video conversion and captioning project. Home. Dinner at home with Patrick: beef stroganoff. Watched a trailer for The Simpsons (thanks for the link, Chris!)—cool! (even tho it won't be until 2007). Watched Unleashed on DVD (English) borrowed from Drew and Phil. The film was entertaining, but many things didn't make sense in the story. Still, we enjoyed it. Uploaded photos for Disneyland Trip Day 3 and Day 4 (but no titles or captions yet). Backfilled journal entry for April 2. I told you it would take some time, didn't I? Funny moment of the day: Patrick and I were computing and I say to him, "Those spammers can't fool me, coz I know there's no one named Osborne Latonya or Violetta Crunk!" If you haven't heard, lately the Bay Area has been having a lot of rain. I don't know the exact statistics, but it's been like a month's worth or more of continuous rain days, and Patrick finally said witheringly, "So this is what Seattle is like?" and I said yes. You can feel the general aura of dejectedness in the idle hallway and elevator chatter as mutterings of global warming and "all Bush's fault" are tossed within earshot. Doesn't bother me much. I guess living in Seattle for 7 years builds up a resistance. How I lived there for so long I'm not sure I'll ever know. Like Yoda talking backwards me this is, hmmm? Okay, time for bed.
