T.W.I.S.T.E.R. - March Winds Challenge (Page 46)

x2-Women are definitely the stronger sex.   

I've had plenty of flats with my "big fat knobbies." If you haven't had any, you're on borrowed time. See if your community does some free community bike workshops that can teach you the basics.

Hope things work out with the promotion. 

Sorry you're ill. At least its not so bad that you can't do the core and stretch.  I'm glad Dee is willing to work with us on things like this.  It makes getting sick during these challenges a little less discouraging. 

That's pretty cool that you're able to put something together like this.  It would be amazing to be able to do it but I don't have the time off work.  Keep up the good work Bill.  You're a good man.

Dee wasn't pulling favorites when she set up the spreadsheet was she?

Hello!  Is there anyone out there? 

I'm feeling kind of lonely here.  I think I'm all by myself at the moment.

I'm still gonna spill my guts about my day, even if no one is here to listen.

I hadn't realized that I wasn't contributing to the team.   

Thanks for fixing it Bill!

Nice...Let me guess, this Bill is on the bEASTie challenge team???

Still here...I can listen. 

For that matter, I can even talk back!

Crazy day.  Came in the office and checked my voice mail. Apparently the day I was at the hospital with my son, IBM called to let me know that our server "called home" to say we have a disk error. When I called back, they had closed the ticket because no one had called them back.  I had to call their customer service line to create a new call so we could get it fixed. Three hours and several phone calls later we have a new disk drive and we didn't go down for a second.  

You should have seen the look on the guy's face when he saw how full our disk is.  He explained several ways the disk space could be expanded to help. Already knew about the disk space, I just can't get management to spend the money to do anything about it. So I get to spend a good part of my week trying to keep things cleaned up so we don't drop when the disk fills up.

Plus I had to juggle the phone calls with IBM and our team meeting today.

Also trying to play catchup on my project after being out for a couple of days. I also found out that nothing has been done to set up the files that are needed. Its looking like things are going to be a little busy.  Plus its also my anniversary this weekend and tomorrow is the last day I will be "in the office" this week.

Go ahead and say it. "If you're so busy, why are you wasting time here?"  Well, sometimes I just have to take a break.

I'm not alone!  

You were contributing.  Someone was just trying to exclude you. Glad Bill noticed and took care of it. 

oh the joys of cluttered computers...all the junk that is eating up the disc space.  I was tracking down unnecessary carp on my computer just yesterday.

Me too!

How's your dad doing today?  And how are you holding up under the stress?

I've spent the last couple of hours getting organized.  I made some trifold thingies with a weekly calendar on front and various check off lists in the other sections.  The lists included bills, phone calls, projects, school work, groceries, misc shopping, and errands.

Its a little different when its the office server. You can't just delete things, you have to go through the files and purge off the outdated records within the file.  The big problem we are having right now is there is a mystery file somewhere that isn't getting cleaned up and its eating up disk space.  Once we find it and set up a purge process for it, we'll all let out a big sigh of relief and I will be able to get back to my programming job. Programmers really aren't cut out to handle hardware issues.

Just finished my usual 5 mile run at lunch...masters class after work.

So Melissa. How far did you have to drive to find a sunny hillside for your avatar picture.  They don't have too many of those in Seattle.

Welcome back.  How was your run? 

My dad is doing poorly...his blood oxygen levels have been low.

I am doing alright.  My family has been dealing with my little sisters severe health issues since I was in grade school.  We have know how my dad's condition would progress for the last 5+ years and we actually didn't expect him to make it as far as Christmas 2009.
