    Faerieworlds Festival looks so cool!  Brian Froud is the GoH!  How awesome is that!  But it's on a Saturday!  D'oah!  I'll never get work to get me the day off.  I already have LepreCon XXIX off the same month.  And it's in Sedona, so who could I talk into giving me a ride?  The people I know who like fey enough to attend a fey convention with me are women married to people who would be dead set attending anything of the sort.  It's so exciting, and yet so heartbreaking. 


    Monday I kept busy by weeding the rock yard, performing bicycle maintenance, replacing the kickstand on my bicycle, fighting my constantly crashing computer, watching The Distinguished Gentleman, buying cat litter, testing Wayne's VCD of Digimon (which failed on my DVD player and my computer), and eatting left over food from the Richardson house warming.


    Tuesday I had a Phoenix Map Gallery sales meeting after work.  They treated us to twelve ounce sodas and a three foot long sub from Blimpie's.  We had the usual updated about communication issues, new products, et cetera.  Then we had a notice that we're going to modernise our building exterior!  Yay!  I've only been fighting for this for the last several months.  Our building exterior is so tired and outdated its pathetic.  The projections looked good, and now it's up to getting approval from the city.  Cross our fingers. 


    Afterwards I had a pretty frustrating time with my crashing computer again, but I put up with it because I was having a good IM with Jess.  Unfortunately, I was up so late I had a hard time waking up and showed up several minutes late for work.  I've got to crack down on myself and become better disciplined again.  No more staying up past midnight on work nights.  I used to do that.  I've got to return to that, no matter how tempting it is to do otherwise. 


    Tonight Wayne talked me through configuring my virtual memory, which seems to have solved my recent crash problems.  I had tried posting here a few times yesterday, but gave up.  But now that I uninstalled and reinstalled several programs and configured the vm, I'm all caught up.  However, I haven't received a Xanga daily digest since the 31st, so tomorrow I'm going to visit each site that I read to see what I haven't received.  It's too late tonight for me to do that.  Especially considering how late I was up last night.  If I go to bed now, I could get seven hours of sleep.  Of course, that would require ignoring all my friends who are online.  Hopefully they'll understand.  :)   Night all, God Bless.
