Hot Tuesday


Good day all.

It's supposed to be friggin' hot today (that's a technical term meaning "heat indexes around 110 and up").  Which means I'm going to be freezing, because the women in my office always over-compensate on the a/c.

Good morning everyone.  Today is going to be the coolest day this week in the Tulsa metro at 103. 

Mz, I can also relate to working in an icebox during the summer.  I keep a pair of socks in my drawer because my feet are always freezing! 

Don't you hate when someone says "please" followed by !!! in their notes or e-mails?  I find it passive agressive.

 Ugh, I hate that too.  I read it almost as begging, either because they're asking for something impossible, or because they don't think you'll do it unless they beg.

Yup, hot all week for us too.

We're making plans for vacation next week. We're going to stay in Nebraska, but make a big loop West to the panhandle, up across the North and then back home from the North-East. The boy studied a lot of Nebraska history last school year, so we're going to go visit some of the things he learned about. He's actually pretty interested in the forts, Indian tribes, etc.

I didn't get the vet reserved in time for dog kenneling, so she'll go with us to North Platte to the kennel we used last year. That will be on the way out, but I'll have to make a special trip back there (90 miles) to get her the day after we get back home.

Please!!! advise.
Ugh

Glad the boy is interested in some history Web. He should have a good time and you should have a good time playing with the camera.

 That sounds like fun!

Yes, after we get home, we'll set up the projector and screen and you all can come over for the big two hour "vacation slide show". We'll talk about each slide IN DETAIL to make sure you don't miss a single thing of what we enjoyed and you missed.

(Scary flashbacks to my uncle's vacation slide shows.)

And SmugMug.

I like SmugMug (and Flickr, Google images, etc).

It's better to create a gallery of photos and then post a link to it. If you want to look, you can. If you don't want, you don't have to sit in my living room and pretend like you're interested.

SmugMug = Good

Powerpoint = Bad

I was saying the whole slideshow thing with Powerpoint would be worse.

Might be worse . . . although when I was 12, going over to watch the uncle's vacation slide show was not the definition of a fun time. lol

At least with PowerPoint, you get awesome transitions!

And when we're done with those, I'll show you my DC photos. Then there are my "Nature" photos. And don't forget the baseball photos.

It's funny . . . The guy at church that makes the PowerPoint lyrics slides thinks the transitions are cool, so he adds them. The first thing the guy that actually runs the media stuff does, is take off all the transitions. When people are singing along with the music, they don't want to wait for the words to spin, flip, and dissolve in between slides . . . they just want to know what the words to the song are so they can sing along.

You wants baseball photos? I gots your baseball photos!

I posted (in a password protected gallery) 470 baseball pics during the June baseball season. Yeah, it seemed excessive to me too, but since I was doing it anyway, I thought I just as well cover all the kids well and share the photos with the parents. 

It was fun to do and interesting to get the fellow parent's responses. Some parents were VERY thankful and appreciative, others were like "Oh, yeah, I got them, um . . . thanks."

You can't come over and ask if this letter is mine without doing at least an ounce of research. I tell you , yes, I use that account number. I will look into it. I call the state and tell them I'm confused and why did you send me this letter. They give me as much info as they can, I thank them and hang up. We then determine that this was your letter (and subsequent credit) in the first place.

Make me do all this work and then I won't even get credit for bringing almost $1,100 back into the company.
