…but the wordpress software running the family page got updated today. It’s an update that should have been done a while back but I put it off till now.
Honestly I was waiting to see if anyone had any problems with the update so they could be addressed before I tried it. Of course, my waiting period was over a week or two ago so that excuse doesn’t hold for long.
Lorna actually had her baby last week, but i am just now learning about it. The hospital puts their baby pictures online for parents to share which is nice…..
If you would like to take a look at your new cousin, once removed, go here:
go to: Net Nursery
Sign-in name: Esquero
Password: MiaRose (one word, and i do not think case matters)
And i am sitting here wondering if i should send the password over the net. How paranoid of me. She is not even at the hospital any more! What possible difference could it make?
Well, the decision is made…. Actually i made the decision over last weekend and made it real on Tuesday when i called my doctor and set up the angiogram. It has taken a while for the date to be set. It will be on Tuesday at 8AM. Luke will take me to the hospital and stay all day. (From what i have read online, it will take less than an hour but i will be kept at the hospital till i pass all the dye that they use, about 6 hours.) I am afraid my doctor’s nurse is new and was not very good at telling me what to expect because she does not know. Every question requires a call back because she has to ask someone. Anyway…. Luke will be with me Tuesday and Triplett is in SA and she plans to be here Tuesday and Wednesday, and Thursday if i need her, to wait on me. 🙂 I doubt if i will require waiting on, but it is nice that she is dropping everything to come take care of me. I have a feeling she will be a good at it.
Actually, I am thinking i might get her to drywall the new bathroom. She is good at it….
We will see how much “waiting on” I need and how long she thinks it will take and if her wrists are up to it.
I will be calling you about this, Chris and Christina… I guess this writing is more “for the record.”
I knew that the start of my employment was going to be a bit rough. The application is huge and constantly growing. The code base is complex. And there is little documentation on how everything works. You have to ask the guys who built it what everything does. (one of said head gents is the guy I’m working under)
Aside from a little trip out to Ozona Texas to retrieve (and return the next day) a server, I’ve been working on a project that has been in the ‘would be great, but not essential’ category. Not a major project, but it is a great introduction to the system. Today I finished it. It works, it has my own thought processes behind the scenes, and it is good. Ok, it will be looked at by a few of the high up guys to see if there could be improvements. Fun thing is, this code is likely to be put into production in a few client sites by the end of the week. Just out to a few places that will use it. Any issues with the program will be discovered and, I’m sure, will be handed off to me for solving. Personally, I don’t think I’ll be getting any calls about it beyond ‘how do i’ type calls.
Tomorrow I’ll be moving onto something completely different. And to think that I haven’t even gotten a chance to fill out all the paperwork about being an employee yet. (but I have gotten my first paycheck; yea, that’s nice)
Well, Chris and Christina have moved out. I am glad for them, and appreciative of the new space, but it is awfully quiet around here.
I have been moving the last of their things into their room and going thru stuff in the sewing room and tossing and giving away a pleasing amount. I had been thinking we should move our bedroom into their room and move my sewing room into my current bedroom, but lately i have been thinking of just moving my sewing room into their old room. The furniture fits better in their room and my bedroom furniture fits fine where it is. I am ging to repaint, either way. 🙂 I like seeing the deep yellow walls (it reminds me of them) but it is not me. I may, however try a little darker shade of the color i had chosen, mostly because they have encouraged me to.
Long ago when the world was still fresh .. .. .
er, when I graduated from college I had an interview; my first in person interview. I thought that I would be such a great fit for the job that I would have an offer in a week or so. After a few calls, e-mails, and weeks of waiting I moved on to other prospects.
Interviews came and went. I had a few that I thought would come through. Nothing did.
Six months passed by. Still nothing.
Then it came time to move from the apartment. I was packing up everything, getting ready to shut down and pack up my computer and an e-mail arrived. Not quoting, but the e-mail asked if I was still available as the company was expanding and they needed more people. A few phone calls later I had a job offer. I talked with my wife; accepted the next day.
Fast forward a week and I have found a place to rent close to where I’ll be working. I am looking forward to being in the Austin area. My sister (hello!) loved living there and, so long as I avoid certain university grounds, I think I will enjoy the area as well. And, ok, I think I will enjoy wearing my class ring all the more in the area. The reactions I’ve gotten from some people in the area (who I’m sure were from the other university) are priceless. Ah, I digress.
The job itself is a support and programming position. I get to support clients by making changes to the code base. In the future I will travel to client sites, make presentations to clients, and even more stuff that I will learn about later. It is a small company so I know I will be doing a touch of everything as time goes on. In any case, I will enjoy the challenges that this position brings.
Ah, the Family.
A collection of individuals spread across half the US. Maybe it will spread from ocean to ocean someday.
In any case, this blog is for everyone.
The original idea: a place for people to help each other track their progress on eating and exercise.
The evolved idea: a place for all info and stuff
The current idea: a place for the family to communicate with each other and help each other on eating and exercise.
So, everyone register and I’ll make sure that you get all the fancy rights to write posts and pages and all that fun stuff.
Enjoy and start posting!
