I didn't get anything done today, either, mostly because I stayed all night and all day. So I was really too goofy to accomplish anything, but I couldn't sleep, either. I think that it's those damned pills.

Well, I shouldn't call them names.. they've been very good to me. No more itching, and the rash seems to be fading, but I really don't care about that part much.

So... I have one pill that wakes me up, and one pill that puts me to sleep. And I take them both at the same time. If the itching is bad, I take two pills of the put-me-to-sleep type, and that overwhelms the keeps-me-awake type.

That's my theory, anyway. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Karen went to her company picnic today with Kim and the kids and Matt and she really enjoyed herself. I was invited to go, but I declined, having been up more than 24 hours at that point.

She told me something that I thought was odd and rather disgusting and I was really surprised that nobody had thought it out before they did it...

Two of the higher=up execs came to the picnic dressed up as women... floozies. Fake tits and everything, from what Karen said.

Well, company picnics are kinda supposed to be about fun, and Karen didn't see anything wrong with it at all, and evidently neither did anyone else. But just hearing about it kinda made me mad.

I really think that it's disrespectful to women in this way: They were, essentially, dressed up as clowns. The antithesis of what they really were in real life, one would suppose.

And what's the opposite of the intelligent, highly-placed male executive? Why, that would be a woman, of course.

Now, I'm not generally a Politically Correct type of person. But, with all of the hullabaloo about sexual harrassment, I would have thought that these intelligent guys would be a little more careful.

O'well. Not. My. Problem.

After Karen got home, I took a little nap until about 19:00... now I'm up for a while. Karen had put some ground round in the fridge to thaw, but the fridge is working again, and the meat was still frozen when I got it out, so I decided to order Pizza on-line from http://www.pizzahut.com.

The last time that I did that it worked just fine... but they've redone their pages, using ASP and Flash, and it just plain don't work> So I got on the phone and called them.

Supreme...from Pizza hut... the original. I've always loved it... I always will. The epitome of pizzas, and don't let anyone tell you different.

On to other things here. Tonight is the night... maybe. The night that I will take the plug out of the back of the WIN98 machine and put it in the back of the Linux box.

On the other hand, maybe that'll be tomorrow. Maybe tonight I'll just take two of those pills and be done with the day. Yeah, that sounds better all the way around.

So... if, for some reason I've not posted by tomorrow night, I don't want you to worry. So don't.


Thanx for being here!
