Shutting down to pack and move to the lovely new apt. Since I’m now blocked from SDMB at work, I’ll be out til at least Monday or Tuesday next week, and maybe another week if moving priorities change. When next I post (unless I blow more time here tonight before I leave), I should be sitting in the world’s [most comfortable chair](http://bi-ca.com/Products/herman_miller_aeron.htm) at a lovely new desk, with in-drawer space even for my scanner! My post rate should skyrocket! ---

Oh, two days. That’s not so bad. You’ll live. Why’d they block you out at work? Just you? Just the Dope? They said we shouldn’t be on-line either…ummm. That’s what they said. Good luck on the move, at least it won’t be too hot! 😉 **Flamesterette** , you’ve dropped under 20 posts a day! Get that back up! ---
