  • RE: today, Robert

    I dunno. But, it's very different, in any case. It's more like a laptop than a desktop, as far as comparisons go.

  • RE: today, Robert

    Yeah. Think she's filing? Oh. Tell her not to gamble. It looks like I'll be home at 7:45pm.

  • RE: today, Robert

    OMG. That's terrible! I guess we'll be hearing from a lot of him on KPFA over the next few days. I wonder what Jon Kabat-Zinn will say.

    • RE: today, Robert

      Sounds like Talk of Nation will be talking about this as well.

  • RE: today, Robert

    Yeah. Unfortunately, my download seems to have got cut-off. I wonder if Doug Dowd will write an obituary?

    • RE: today, Robert

      I'm guessing I'll be home at 7:30pm. I need to send my changes for review before I leave.

  • Re: FW: FW: today, Robert

    Good. In other news, despite my call to Keypoint Credit Union this morning, I got another phone call from them reconfirming that I want them to send to my existing box address. I'm thinking I should go early-ish to the box and make sure they didn't screw ...

  • RE: FW: FW: today, Robert

    1) If I had accidentally renewed it only for 6 months, it still shouldn't expire until next month. 2) I'll have to double-check my cancelled check to make sure I renewed it for one year (beginning in August). You mean, Scott Roeder :-)?

  • RE: FW: FW: today, Robert

    I think it's just gym & shopping. I'm sure it'll be great fun.

  • today, Robert

    I should be home late-ish. I forgot that I have to change our master password at 6pm. I'll probably be home at 7:45pm if all goes well.

  • RE: today, Robert

    Add the kombu, if you think of it.

  • RE: today, Robert

    OK. Lemme ask for that off.

    • RE: today, Robert

      I'll be working at home late on Thursday (9pm). If all goes well, it won't last more than 30 minutes.

  • RE: today, Robert

    Good thing Rebecca Roberts is more progressive than her mom.

  • RE: today, Robert

    You mean, yours may be affected by this problem?

    • RE: today, Robert

      I'm going to attempt to leave early-ish so I can drop off my stuff before we go to Good Karma.

  • RE: today, Robert

    I'm hoping 6:15pm.

  • RE: today, Robert

    Excellent. Remind me to bring the loan pre-qualification letter from Alliance Credit Union tonight.

  • RE: today, Robert

    He'd probably dump the Chia pet into the sink in the basement.

  • RE: today, Robert

    Oh?

  • RE: today, Robert

    Oh? Will you be taking a bus/buses to get there? Good.

  • RE: today, Robert

    Yes. Are you going to take the 61/62 bus to light rail and then go from there? If you go to , there may be a faster route.

  • RE: today, Robert

    Cool. Got your voicemail. Yeah, I already have: 1 months of paystubs 2 years of W-2s & tax returns 2 months of bank statements (except Chase, which I cannot find the Nov statement for) statements for retirement accounts Did you ask Ernestine if she still ...

  • RE: today, Robert

    Yeah, looks like I don't have any meetings then. Yeah. I think it's yahoo.com It's programmed under "Sandy" on the cell phone.

  • RE: today, Robert

    Boy, that sucks. Does that mean I need to go to Chase bank before we go to Alliance to get the missing month? I'll get into your email on your computer and ask her.

  • RE: today, Robert

    You got an email in your home email that Jane set up a time for him to come at 9am on Tuesday. I'll ask for some time off.

    • RE: today, Robert

      Are you gunna have time to make the thing for the potluck tomorrow? Do you think I should un-RSVP?

  • RE: today, Robert

    I don't know. Will you?

  • RE: today, Robert

    I can only assume so. OK. I asked.

  • today, Robert

    I'm going to leave now, but, with traffic and stopping off at Micro Center, I probably won't be home 'til 6:45pm.

  • RE: today, Robert

    Nope, didn't hear it. Worth downloading?

  • RE: today, Robert

    Whatevah.

    • RE: today, Noelle)

      Your're gonna love 2nd hr of Forum. Yay more people yay suburbs!

      • RE: today, Robert

        I don't know if I already said, but I need to work tonight (from home). It should only take about 30 mins -- probably less.

  • RE: today, Robert

    What a welcome opportunity!

    • RE: today, Robert

      Of course, everything decided to blow up just as I was about to leave. Our data isn't getting where it's supposed to go and things are getting backed up. I expect to be late-ish. Do you wanna call Jerry?

      • RE: today, Robert

        OK, I have to log on from home tonight to check up on this stuff. I expect to be home at 7:45pm.

  • today, Robert

    There's no reason I need to leave early today, is there? I seem to have it on my calendar at work and I can't remember anything particular that we need to do. Was it Raj Patel, maybe?

    • Re: today, Robert

      Regardless, it looks like I won't have enough time. I haven't finished what I needed to get done today.

    • RE: today, Noelle)

      No, I think that's next week.

      • RE: today, Robert

        I'm getting some weird behavior from my code and think I'm going to have to redo it to way it should've been done in the first place. In other words, I'll probably be late-ish.

      • RE: today, Robert

        I should be home at 8:45pm. We still need to fill out the ABLE Exterminator work-sheet. Also, decide which of Phil's stuff we wanna buy.

  • RE: today, Robert

  • RE: today, Robert

    Yeah. Let's try to remember to do that. In other news, we have to fax or send info about the homeowners insurance to Ernestine. I don't have the info here, so that will need to be done tomorrow.

  • RE: today, Robert

    OK.

  • RE: today, Robert

    You mean, ABLE? I will probably call at noon while everyone else is out for lunch.

  • RE: today, Robert

    We have a prelimary time set up for March 15. They will be emailing you (they asked for an email address and I figured you don't mind getting spammed :-)) the info about what needs to be done in preparation.

  • RE: today, Robert

    Your alum.calberkeley one. Probably not. They didn't say. I'll try to call 'em today and ask 'em for their email address. Then we can email them and they can email us back the info. Then, there's no spelling issue.

    It's always good to prepare yourself psychologically for the worst. I'm wondering if I'll get demoted rather than fired during the end-of-the-fiscal-year reviews. It would be most ironic if we were both to become unemployed just after buying a new house.

  • RE: today, Robert

    He's not coming here -- it'll be over at SVC.

  • RE: today, Robert

    Yeah, but we also have to include repairs, etc. I haven't met my commitments for the year as "Software Development Engineer II". Yeah, assuming they do demote. I don't ever recall Macrosoft demoting someone, only firing and laying off people. Yeah. I dunn...

  • RE: today, Robert

    Maybe Ernestine is gunna wait until the very last moment before finishing things up. Post-housing-bust measures, I suppose.

  • RE: today, Robert

    You may as well wait. If your coding accuracy improves, then look for another job if you'd like. If your coding doesn't improve and you get fired, then you'll get unemployment.

  • RE: today, Robert

    But, if your coding accuracy goes up, then you will be able to get recommendations from your supervisors -- something that all future employers will want. If your coding accuracy goes down, then it will take longer to find work without a supervisor's reco...

      • RE: today, Robert

        Expect me home at 9:15pm. I need to work tonight from home to make sure everything's honky dory for tomorrow's release. I'll work in the front room so I don't bug you.

  • RE: today, Robert

    Are you still going to announce your 2 weeks notice? Shovel ready? You mean, your meeting with Pam? Too bad. Was too busy this morning. Should I fill out the roof repair work authorization? Or should we wait for Ernestine to reply? I'm wondering, for exam...

  • RE: today, Robert

    It's like a reality TV show. I still would like Ernestine to affirm that it doesn't matter, to make sure there aren't any snags in getting the money out of escrow. Post-Karen, I assume.

        I should be home at 9:15pm. Please email Phil about the key. Ask him specifically where he put it under the garage door.

      • RE: today, Robert

        I went to the house to try to find the key in the garage. Couldn't find it, either.

    • Message not available
      • RE: today, Robert

        I didn't know it'd be that early. I would wait until the end of this week, or even the beginning of next week. We still have a bit of stuff that needs to be done and we won't be moving in there soon.

  • RE: today, Robert

    Crap. Forgot to check. Possibly, but I doubt it. Why wouldn't they take the one under the shovel? Anyway, we need to get in contact with Phil. If he definitely left it there, then it may be worth replacing the bolt lock and door handle.

  • RE: today, Robert

    Wow. Paranoia! Welcome to the club! ...In any case, I re-read Phil's text and he didn't say that he did leave the key in the garage -- he said he was going to leave it in there. So, I text'd him back asking if he actually left it there. We'll see.

    • RE: today, Noelle)

      Thanks for texting him again. I think I'll go there after work and look again.

      • RE: today, Robert

        Expect me home at 7:15pm.

    I hope to be home at a reasonable time today. I'm guessing 6:45pm.

    I did. They admitted the mistake and will be sending out updated invoices.

  • RE: today, Robert

    They will send another email with the updated invoice. So, you should wait.

    • RE: today, Robert

    Should be home at 7:30pm. Looks like your computer may need to be booted. I hope that's all it is...

  • today, Robert

    I'll definitely be late since I have to change our main expired password tonight at 6pm. I'll probably be home at 8:15pm.

        Sounds yummy. You can handle that part. Maybe. I'm feeling like I wanna see Elaine Aron. So, unless I say otherwise, let's assume that you'll pick me up. Regardless, give me a call just before you leave, to be safe.

    There seems to be several problems with various computers right now. I'll try to fix 'em when I get home.

    • Re: today, Robert

    • Re: today, Robert

      Still at work. Arrival time unknown.

  • today, Robert

    I'm thinking I'm not going to go to the talk tonight. I'm too tired and I'll probably end up staying late since I've made absolutely no progress on this bug.

  • Re: today, robert

      the tree guy is coming over @ 9 am tomorrow OK so how is the morale then?

      • Re: today, robert

        On average, pretty low. I have a suspicion that my other co-worker is leaving. OTOH, Josh gave me a brand new laptop! (I'm not exactly sure what that will do, but, since I'll be starting from scratch, I should be able to design the system so that the next...
