[QUOTE=Capt Kirk] Lots of solder, a new cat5e, a little time in the subfloor and the PA that ate my finger works flawlessly all over again. Go me. [/QUOTE] I’m assuming it wasn’t a production assistant who ate your finger. If it’s what I think it is, why cat5e? No good audio cable around? And why is it still called “PA?” To me, PA brings up images of some crappy Tannoy squawking out unintelligible announcements. ---

Thus I shall leave from da cave to do that then go to the orifice. Envy me. Kinda quiet up in here overnight. Hope everyone has had a good night or whatever it is/was wherever you are. Ok, that’s all I got. I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy wants sustenance. Then, alas and alack, purtification for irk must commence. Happy Thursday Y’all! ---

Happy Thorsday! One more day One more day One more day!!! I’m still trying to work out the logistics. I’d love to pack up everything and take it with me tomorrow but we know that is not going to happen. All y’all are cracking me up with the poetry. I wish I was calm enough to contribute but my brains is on overload right now. It’s an overcast 57 degrees now with a high of 73 projected. Groceries are being delivered today and I ordered extra to take out with me tomorrow. I’m expecting some paperirk from the mortgage company. Then there is always irk. ---

I must be feeling a little better, since I’ve been impersonating a locust hitting the kitchen. OTOH, I’m still stuffy/sniffly and I did not sleep last night. At all. I only have a four-hour irk shift today, but do have class this evening, and not a huge amount of time between for napping. Going to be an early night tonight. Meantime, Mt. Dew and Vivarin are again a student’s best buddies, and I do NOT intend to drive, TYVM. ---

And why is it still called “PA?” To me, PA brings up images of some crappy Tannoy squawking out unintelligible announcements. Well it still is called a Public Address System and while somewhat outdated and conjuring up images of squawcky horns at a Football Field, it will do. My suggestion of “Loud Maker” was not well received. Like everything now, we are computerized. I have a dedicated computer that controls all the system parameters connected to the processors by cat5e. My consoles are computers. The whole thing is ridiculously complicated, I showed the Operations Manager how to turn the PA on yesterday and it took an entire page of notes. Mawnin all and Happy Thorsday Need coffee **Jim** ---

I do, however, have a rather difficult time doin’ things straight. 😃 😛 Crickets are annoying because they’re all CHIRP CHIRP CHIRP until you’re like to go crazy but when you go looking for them they’re all silent. So I am looking for a new job. Anyone hiring? I recently graduated in August with a degree in Information Systems. Nervous as HELL that I won’t get one and I’ll continue to languish and no one will want me, ever. I mean, that’s silly - I know I am worthwhile, but damn if job searching doesn’t do a number on your ego. Is it haiku day? Let’s see Searching for a job Applying everywhere Will work for peanuts Eh, that’s a poor effort. And sad! I don’t really feel that bad.
