Spent my first day in Accounts Payable today. It was pretty tiresome, until I had Systems hook my computer up to the network. I cannot sit all day at a computer without checking my e-mail, that's for certain.
And it turns out that the computer at my new desk is actually much better than the one I left behind, so I'm not so pissed about the switch after all.
Back to the "you should write" "I do write" thing, I've been thinking about it. This page really has refined my style to such an extent that I never write anything longer than 6 sentences anymore.
I think reading a book-length bunch of such stuff would be extremely tiresome for anyone not actually related to me.
Yesterday's best was when my Mom called me and said that Daddy's obit was in the LA Times with a big picture--bigger than Sandy Meisner's. That may seem strange or hard-hearted, I know, but it's just that I'm so proud of him, being so prominent in the newspapers.
He is not forgotten.
The worst was how damn boring the AP work is. Dull dull dull...
I have been sent two conflicting ideas about how my hits have expanded.
Bryan said that it was because I was updating so late in the day, so people were hitting over and over to see when the hell I would get around to updating, for crying out loud. Melody, however, said that it was because people had hit my page when I was gone, and they hit it over and over, because they wanted to find out what happened to my Da, and they have carried on and become regular readers in the meantime.
Yesterday, I updated in the morning, and got 50 hits, which is fewer than the 72 I received day before, but more than the 30 I used to get. Therefore, I believe both theories.
And Melody, if you read this, I tried to write back to you, but your e-mail bounced back to me twice. Write again, if you like.
The first Christmas picture, 1965,
and the last Christmas picture, 1996.
