I don’t know if anyone’s told you, but I think your website got spammed with something or other. I was looking at your most recent entry, and when I tried to peek at the reply someone made, the page was really slow. Finally I gave up, as we were getting ready to go out to an auction. Well, when I closed the window, (your site was the only thing I had open at the time) my computer went crazy, and tried to open lots of windows one after another. Hubby looked over my window right about that time and goes, “How many windows do you have open?!” I told him it wasn’t my fault, lol. I tried closing them, but more were opening faster than I could close them all. Finally, I was able to ctrl-alt-del my way out of the mess and shut the computer down so I could leave. It may or may not have been a problem originating from that reply or something on your site, but in case it is, I thought I’d let you know about it. I’ll be running all my scans tomorrow sometime also and clean up my system again too.

Okay, I’ve started upgrading the various sites I manage to Wordpress 1.5.1.3. I always start with mine that way if anything breaks, it’s on my site and not someone else’s. It’s a good thing I did so today because I broke my site temporarily! Luckily, I had time to fix it and it wasn’t that big of a deal, but if it had been something long and drawn out, forget it. I would have gone the whole day with the site broken. In any case, I’m glad it was my site and not someone else’s. I don’t know what I’d tell a person if I broke their site and couldn’t fix it right away. (Yes, I know, that’s silly. I just hate disappointing people. Not all people, just some people.)

Sam is just in awe of sharks! He was very excited when he saw the commercials for Discovery Channel’s Shark Week. So, right now we’re watching the first night and it’s just so cool. This year they’ve got Jamie & Adam from Mythbusters having a go at things. We love those guys. Too funny, I tell you. If you haven’t seem Mythbusters or Shark week, you should check it out. Very spiffy this year.

Did you know that hurricane names actually alternate male and female the entire year. They actually alternate between them during the year. So one hurricane is female and one is male, repeat. This year’s names are pretty interesting but really, it’s the retired names that I find most interesting.

Actually, I take that back. The thing I find most interesting is that between 1953 and 1979, it was all females names. You think it was all the scientists getting back at the witches in their lives?

All week long I have to dress up at work but I relish my Fridays. Fridays are for my jeans. As long as their tasteful and not icky, I get to wear them with a semi-nice top. I long for the days when I could go to work in anything I wanted without having to worry about finding something wear that wasn’t wrinkled or some other clothing disaster. All those years I laughed at the girls who have 18 million pairs of shoes and tons of jewelry and wondered why. I now know why. They have them for work. Because you have to dress nice at work and you get tired of wearing the same damn thing every week. So here I am… The anti-girl. And I’ve had to become the typical girl. I have gasp makeup on every day now. I actually attempt to do my hair (yeah, that still needs some practice). I wear clothes that say “dry clean only”. Okay, I don’t really pay attention to the tags but I know I have to wash them with care. And, I have jewelry I make/buy to match clothes and clothes I buy to match jewelry.

I know, it’s odd. I’d be disappointed in myself if I could, but really, I’m not. It’s part of the territory. Welcome to the Office World. It ain’t for Tomboys, that’s for sure.
