Monday Monday

I wish I could say this was a 'happy' Monday a.m. but we have issues with the new hardware we rolled out on Friday afternoon, so things are a mess! I had the printers working on Friday afternoon in test and of course we couldn't 'test' them in production but now this morning one office isn't printing at all. The fact that the validation is messed up is a totally different story. We knew that going in, but when you are serving the public it's not fun to tell them something doesn't work!!!! On a bright note, I did get my diminishing butt out of bed at 4:32 and off to the gym I went! 30 minutes of random interval on the treadmill at 3.5 mph. I did pu**** to 4.0 for a VERY brief stint, but believe me it WAS brief!!! Verizon did come through for us and get our FiOS done on Saturday. It's fun to be able to ZOOOOM around the internet, but now I just get bored faster!!! One nice thing is that it does significantly help my VPN connection to my work desktop for when I need to work on something from home. Ok, time to see what else I can do about the printers!!! Have a good Monday. Hugs, Mo P.S. Tia, how was the party ??? Terry, was Wild Hogs fun? I saw a news bit that it was a big hit dollar wise at the box office!

Good morning all!! Mo - I'm sorry to hear about the printer problems! That's always no fun, but for some reason there's always a problem when ever new hardware is rolled out. Software too for that matter! I work with the State Department and in January they rolled out some new software for our license applications and a week later they pulled it back and still haven't fixed the problems!! At least we had the old version of everything to go back to, so we're not dead in the water!!! I was lucky to get up at 6:30 this morning! I've got a cold and it's not letting go of me...been sick since Wed last week. I haven't exercised in a week and I'm not planning on going tonight because I need to go home and get some sleep! Hopefully tomorrow I can get back to the gym and get right back to where I was. High speed internet at home is one of my favorite things!!! My husband networed our computers together and we have a wireless router to go through which is really fast!! But you are right, I get bored faster than before! Ok, off to work for me! Chat later! Yvette

Yvette This is on top of having rolled out a software release/upgrade in mid-January that we are still working the speed bumps out of!!! I have some 'happy' staff at the moment. Hope you get to feeling better. I never thought I would be saying this but I miss it when I don't get my morning trip to the gym. Hugs, Mo

Good morning. We had a fun but busy weekend. The girls Fine Arts competition was fun. They didn't advance in their solos but did advance to nationals in their group Human Video. So off to Indianapolis in August! Several of our kids did really well. One of our guys advanced in every event he entered! We will be taking a lot of kids with us to Nationals. It should be a lot of fun. Sunday after Church I went grocery shopping and then did a little bit of housework. Not enough, but then again, I feel that housework is a never ending job anyway. I am sorry about the problems with the new systems. I hope you can get it worked out and that your customers are mostly patient. I know that can be really trying. I didn't officially work out this weekend but Saturday I was standing, walking, running all day. Thankfully I am feeling much more like myself. I was so tired last week but this week is better. By last Friday I was doing much better, although Friday was a very stressful day here at work. I am just glad that I don't feel like I need to sleep for another 10 hours! Today is a bit busy here at work. But nothing like friday was. Whew! I am going to the gym in just a little bit to do abs and cardio and some machines. I really enjoy the abs class. Have a great day! Hugs, Robin

Robin, Sounds like you will have a fun trip to Indianapolis! I have several good 'internet' friends who live in that area so I would love to be stowing away with you to get a chance to meet them. I've been testing printer set ups this morning and have determined it's a GOOD thing that I don't work on a window and wait on the public! I am SLOOOOOW, but I guess with practice I would speed up some. I didn't do any gym over the weekend and other than some miscellaneous cleaning didn't do much else either, but I'm back on the treadmill today. I've made numerous trips back and forth across the department already .. AND started with a brisk 30 minutes on the treadmill at the gym so I should be all set! Hugs, Mo

Hey Mo! I had a busy, fun weekend. Spent Friday night and yesterday afternoon and evening with my "friend". He came over for dinner last night and got to meet my sister. I haven't heard any feedback yet Wild Hogs was hysterical. We laughed pretty much from beginning to end. It looks like the actors had alot of fun making it. Had some surprises in it, especially at the end. It was worth the ticket price to go! I'm busy here at work (came in here yesterday for six hours). I'm hoping to get in here early tomorrow so I can get out by 3 or 4 tomorrow afternoon. My friend is taking me out to dinner tomorrow night before I leave on my vacation with McMom and McSis Wednesday AM. Well I'll try to get back on here later today or tomorrow, we'll see...it's getting crazy. Have a Great Day! Take Care, Terry

McSis .. I like that one!!! I doubt we will make an exception and actually GO to a movie but it sounds like I'll be making sure I see Wild Hogs when it comes to HBO!!! And maybe even buy it for future viewing pleasure. This is a busy week for me. I'm here late-ish tonight to reboot the server ... There's almost a year's worth of patches that need to be applied. No one ever suggested to us that we reboot it periodically .. and since it needs to run 24 hours a day .. we never think about it unless there is an issue with it. If I miss you before the 7th .. have a wonderful trip Hugs, Mo

Hey Moie - ICK! Sorry to hear about your 'puter problems!! That's enough to make you want to take a nap in the middle of the work day! Oooohhh, I'm sooooo jealous - high speed! Lucky you!! Now Lefty can download those racy kitty pictures before you and Mr. Mo even know about it!!! The party was great! Very family oriented and touching. Jim cried when he mentioned his Dad, who died last April. Very hard to watch, but he did well. We had about 70 people, the food was good and the program actually interesting. He received LOTS of plaques and stuff for his "I Love Me" wall. They appreciated my efforts, actually it was a labor of love for me since he's such a gppd friend. He and his wife gave me a dozen hot pink roses and a Barnes & Noble gift card! Very nice. I woke up Saturday thinking, "Oh, thank God that's over!!" KB & I wanted to go bowling, but they had no open lanes until 5, so we kind of hung around and did some other things. K's home sick with strep today and tomorrow - don't know what Wednesday's going to bring weather-wise, so we'll see. Other than that, not much going on. Smoochies, Tia

Hi Tia!!! Nap??? I'll vote for a nap .. the energy that I get from the gym has worn off and I could sure use one ... oh maybe that is my normal need a nap after lunch feeling though. The party sounds like it was nice. Much more 'controlled' than the one Mr Mo was involved with last month (with over 300 .. ). I am sure it made it that much more special that you put it together for him too. Hope K gets to feeling better quickly. Hugs & smoochies, Mo

I survived the weekend by actually gettig out of bed. I did eventually get dressed both days. I did take cre of my car sunday, and do a little house work. I wa able to leave work eary today, although I have to work on a resource guide this evening for a training tomorrow morning. I went and had my annual chest squeeze.. oh joy!! I also had a sonogram to investigate the ovarian cyst I seem to have. I came home eary, tried to take a nap, and am now enjoying some peace and quiet (despite the wind outside). Aime
