IDoJeannie took off for a dental appointment an hour ago. The last time she did this she said she'd be back in a couple of hours but didn't make it back in at all. We'll see.

Overheard Alvin on a phone call this morning saying that he's been holding off on claiming his salary while we try to get the company going. Which makes me feel guilty not only about the amount of money I asked for, but about the amount of time I spend blogging, reading news sites, and answering personal e-mail while I'm at work. (Today, for instance, I've been here for 3-1/2 hours and have worked for about 15 minutes.)

I also told Alvin yesterday that I suspected that the Chipmunk has issues with me that I should know about. He neither confirmed nor denied this statement, leading me to believe that issues do exist and that Alvin just doesn't want to get in the middle of it. Hmph. I'm going to have to talk to the Chipmunk one day soon.

It's gray and cold and has been for two or three days now. An absence of sunlight always gets me down.

This weekend—shopping! Saturday we're buying a new computer, that being our lazy-assed way of dealing with the fact that our current machine (purchased in 1998) would need substantial upgrading in order to be able to cope with next week's ATT Broadband installation.

Sunday, C and I are getting together for coffee, donuts, and gossip, which should be fun. I haven't seen her in forever and having missed the last two get-togethers for the Colorado slash fans, I feel amazingly out of touch with what everyone is doing.

Possibly I'll be feeling more intelligent, or more entertaining, at a later time.
