The data center of our CMS is having problems. Which means our sites, along with all of their other clients’ sites, are down.
My parents made their connection and now I must head to the airport.
I still have a headache today. (WTF)
And my fortune cookie said, “Begin… the rest is easy.”
Yeah, OK. 😛
hehehe…

so totally is. so did you get your parents? i’m confused.
Comment by wendykat — October 13, 2005 @ 8:35 pm
Yes, I picked them up. They are now in bed, lol.
Comment by the insider — October 13, 2005 @ 8:52 pm
wait…isn’t it like 6 pm their time???
Comment by wendykat — October 13, 2005 @ 8:58 pm
Yep, lol. They were up at 3AM though, so it’s understandable.
And my dad’s a surgeon, and has been on call for the past four days straight, so he is wiped out.
My mom was just cold and wanted to get under the covers, lol.

cute. now i see why you had wanted your dad to look at the kitten. you should still do it. and demand he use a stethoscope and wear one of those paper face masks. you know i would if my dad was surgeon.
wait, isn’t seattle just as cold?
Comment by wendykat — October 13, 2005 @ 9:07 pm
Yes, lol… although his response was a deep sigh and, “Oh, bummer. We’ll just have to cut it off and call her Tripod.” Then he laughed. Fun, no? 😛 lol
Seattle isn’t really cold, just rainy and drizzly… kinda like the past three days here.
The cold problem is twofold. I haven’t taken my air conditioner out of the window and it was put in wrong, so air comes in. And my pilot light isn’t lit (that one either, sadly) and so Daddy needs to do that too before I can turn on the heat.
It’s really not that cold. They just both had headaches and were exhausted. 🙂

whiners.
my dad would fix the ac issue with duct tape. in my family we have a saying. “if you tape can’t fix it, buy a new one”.
ooooh, you coulda put duct tape on the kitty!
Comment by wendykat — October 13, 2005 @ 9:16 pm
LOL.. that’s kinda what I said. Then they brought out the presents and told me I could go play, so I gave in… parents are fun!
Oh my dad is all about the duct tape, lol. But he’s also very handy (Army, Special Forces, he can kill you in 50 ways with just one hand, blah, blah), and he loves fixing shit, so he gets to do that. 🙂 Winterize the air conditioner and the dryer (it vents out a window), fix the shower door, etc.
hehe

ah, my dad can’t kill you but he could totally computerize you in like 50 ways… uhm. yea. army too, so he had to sign papers saying like ‘i promise not to hack into your super secret files or teach my children how to hack into your super secret files’ sucks too, cuz i really love super secret stuff, especially files.
oh wow, this is gonna sound so grade school, but it’s getting to be my bedtime, how lame is that?
Comment by wendykat — October 13, 2005 @ 9:26 pm
Our dads would so get along, LOL.
No, it’s late and if I had to work tomorrow, I’d be in bed by now myself. 🙂
Night. 🙂

wait, does your dad do the pun thing?
like, okay for ten points, what would he say if you were driving through a corn field… *crosses fingers and does that squinching of the face thing when you hope someone answers correctly*
Comment by wendykat — October 13, 2005 @ 9:31 pm
ROTFL… he’d say, “We’re in a maize maze.”
😛
Comment by the insider — October 13, 2005 @ 9:34 pm
ooooh my dad never did that one. it was always like “shhhh… the fields are listening” or “aten-hut! look at all those colonels” then my brother and i would just groan and wish we were in any of the other cars on the highway…
Comment by wendykat — October 13, 2005 @ 9:37 pm
ROTFL LMAO…
When he called from the airport, he started with “Base Camp to Eye in the Sky. Eye in the Sky, are you there, over.”
Followed by, “We need an ETA, stat, over.”
Whenever he calls, it’s like that. 🙂 lol
Comment by the insider — October 13, 2005 @ 9:39 pm
dude. you win. only for sheer army nerdiness. my dad would kick your dad’s ass in pure nerdiness though.
Comment by wendykat — October 13, 2005 @ 9:41 pm
Deal, lol. 🙂 How did we end up so… normal?
:::eyes rolling:::

“Begin… the rest is easy.” I want that fortune cookie. I’m ready to eat a whole packet to get that one. 🙂
Will you be posting from the road?
Comment by anne — October 14, 2005 @ 2:51 am
okay for those of you who care…I had two fortune cookies yesterday one said:
“Dont spit into the wind” which really isnt a fortune and the other said something about making circles with mints to make haste.
I really think they have just random word generators creating these things now.

Anne… I’ll send it to you. 🙂 And yes, I will. 🙂
Andy: Probably. They should’ve said, “Watch out, your system’s will crash.” or “Don’t go drink without fixing the computers.” 😛 😛
