Effective Immediately

March 30th 2007 by Leisa in general 0

What a crummy day. And with one e-mail the party ends. Management has revoked all telecommuting. I arrived at the office as Randy drove up. He laughed at me for being in the office on a Friday. I actually don’t remember what year it was that I went to an office on Friday. 2004? Maybe [...]

First 24

March 24th 2007 by Leisa in Sukhi Cat 1

I know these aren’t great pictures but Paul complained I didn’t have any posted. Kitty arrived at noon yesterday. Apparently she has been in Foster care for a year. I was asked why I had picked her, I said when I saw her picture I though she looked like she could be my cat. [...]

Happy Birthday to Me

March 22nd 2007 by Leisa in general 0

I’m taking the rest of the week off for my birthday.  I’ve always felt some sort of entitlement and that spring break was designed for that celebration.
Paul gave me a chiropractic appointment and an hour massage. I didn’t know who the appointment with was until I arrived at Harden Chiropractic.
Two years ago, I had an [...]

We met at Petsmart

March 22nd 2007 by Leisa in Sukhi Cat 2

When I did the spread to see about having a cat the reading was:

(Past)5 of Cups Rx
(Present)Justice Rx
(Future)9 of Pentacles

My dad’s cat Toby sold me on Burmese cats as a breed. My fantasy of the last decade was to have one. So when Paul suggested the idea of a cat it was about [...]

Cat search still on going …

March 21st 2007 by Leisa in Sukhi Cat 0

Honestly, I feel really creeped out about the business of cat breeding. My interactions with the breeders have been less than positive. This week I visited the Cat Adoption Team and the Oregon Humane Society.

There are a couple of cats I’m considering. I’m meeting Tatiana at Petsmart tonight at 6:16 pm. [...]

Temple Cats

March 16th 2007 by Leisa in Sukhi Cat 0

I was having a bad morning on Tuesday. Paul showed me a picture he took on his cellphone to cheer me up. It was the results of his allergy test. The top red blotch is histamine, the middle prick is saline, the bottom is cat. From this test he is as allergic to cats [...]

My o’le computer

March 12th 2007 by Leisa in general 0

I was looking through my taxes in 1998 the last time I had a small business.

Computer $2497.00 - 6/1/96
Printer $620 - 5/9/94
CD Rom (can you believe it?) $211 - 8/1/95
Modem $106 - 2/2/95

So here I am feeling great about the iMac I got for Paul last month. It was a complete surprise. When [...]

Strangest Soundbed Ever

March 8th 2007 by Leisa in general 2

I’m not a fan of sound beds. I did a couple of early episodes of my podcast with music behind the intro but gave that up. Rob of Rob’s Roadtrip Radio caught some grief with his sound bed efforts.
I created a couple of extra feeds for my regular contributers. While I was checking to [...]

Shame on Host Gator

March 7th 2007 by Leisa in general 2

I’ve moved my web hosting to Host Gator for both my podcast and other websites. I’ve been happy with the move for the most part. It has been very reliable and the tech support has been great. They have 24×7 chat support.
What I’m not happy with is the billing. I upgraded my account from [...]

How to Get Your Girlfriend to Play Video Games

March 6th 2007 by Leisa in general 0

We had a really nice time on Sunday playing World of Warcraft. At its best playing games together can be not only entertaining but a way of being nice to each other. We had a really long run back to a major city. I was frustrated by it and took a bio break. [...]
