i was sorely tempted to wear a hat, mittens and down vest on my walk to work today.
the only thing that stopped me was the thought of lugging all that stuff home by this afternoon.
when it had warmed up to a respectable august temperature.
summer on the north shore, folks.

seriously server?
is it really necessary to use the little searchy flashlight thing when the files are RIGHT THERE.
you have accessed them instantly every other time, and suddenly you decide that it requires a lengthy search to find them?!

we are having server problems at work.
which really screws up any sort of flow to the day--i live in fear of a crash and loss of labor.
and i have developed a nervous tic causing me to compulsively hit the ctrl+s keys.
and everything takes like half an hour to save.


a new server is in the works.
thank god.



i am currently reading the sword in the stone.
i didn't even know it was actually a book.
[yes, i am part of the disney generation]
it's pretty light, but can probably be considered a classic of some sort.
and i am quite amazed, after reading the first few chapters, how spot on disney managed to make the animated characters.
it's going to be a good read.
