Happy B-Day
Aug 31st, 2007 by Babs

If my mom were still alive she’d have turned 64 today. Scarily, I am currently the age she was when she died.

While I’ve managed to get on with my life, there are still days that I miss her immensely. šŸ™

Just thought I’d pass this along…

Every day I run Adaware and Spybot to rid my computer of spyware. I’ve been using them for years and have never had any problems. Well, for about a week now, I’ve noticed that when I go to LJ,IJ, or GJ I’m logged out. At first I thought it was my ISP, but I’m now starting to see a pattern. Before I run the programs I’m already logged into all three. Afterward, I have to log in. Apparently all three have either started using cookies that are known to be spyware, or have been using ones that are now being considered spyware.

Something to think about.

While waiting for my next attempt to transfer more posts from my BOS to Blogger, I decided to upload some of the fics that used to be on my site. I got the first two chapters of “The Tale of Indigo” uploaded when I discovered a scathing omission. I had forgotten that when I “converted” the Publisher-to-HTML files to streamlined HTML I had somehow ommited an entire chapter. This had been pointed out to me by someone who had read the story on trdoubletrouble, but I never got around to fixing it. Now the files are gone. I probably lost them long ago when my 60GB master hard drive crashed and I accidentally deleted all of my Publisher files when I converted it to a slave. I had hoped to finally get around to continuing that story, but now, I don’t know. I vaguely remember what took place during that chapter, but rewriting a hole…. especially for a story that was written more than 8 years ago!

After having Hollywood trash my childhood memory of the Thunderbirds (though Team America did revive it some), I certainly hope they don’t screw this one up.

Obstacles
Aug 28th, 2007 by Babs

I ran into a few roadblocks with my Tinker Toys idea. First of all: Holy fuck! When did they become so expensive? The cheapest set available locally (which may make me a rack or two) is $21! @,@ Secondly, the cheapest wooden set may not have the free-spinning spools that I need to make my display carousel. *sigh* Iguess I’ll have t ofigure something out.

In other news, I’m getting fed up with feeling totally incompetent. With Library Assistant jobsnon-existent due to budget cuts, I’ve been forced to look for minimum wage work as a cashier. I applied at Toys R Us two months ago, figuring I could tap into my boys’ knowledge of video games. I have yet to receive a call for an interview, yet they still have a help wanted sign up. It’s Stop & Shop that’s really getting me down, though. I’ve applied twice, after my friend (a front end manager) promised me I’d have a job by the end of this month. There’s three days left and I still haven’t been called. And, yeah, they have help wanted signs up, too.

Glenn, in a tone that only a man who feels he’s being inconvenienced by his wife’s inability to get a job can use, announced that he has no choice but to get a second job. This is after he turned down a transfer to the cemetary department, where he’d be getting the same hourly pay PLUS tips upwards of $100 a week. Oh, and he told me he doesn’t care if I have to fill out applications online for him, he’s going to get another job. Um, yeah.
