I'm waiting for the majik moment to put the date/time stamp in the proper slot here... got 12 minutes to go. Of course, that is really the continental way of writing date/time stamps, but what the hell. Wednesday, 20 February, 2002 20:02:02 So OK, it's done and gone now, at least in CDT. Did you feel the thrill? I didn't either, really, but I'll never admit it. The century turning, *that* I felt. Well, not the century, but the birth of the year 2000. That was fun, 'cause I was sure that I would never live to see it, or that if I did, I would be an old codger who wouldn't appreciate it. Luckily, I really don't consider myself an old codger, I've got about 20 years before that happens. Got up on time today, and I even went to work early, 'cause we had a free breakfast. The reason was to honor all of those people who went in and worked in spite of the ice storm that we had a few weeks ago. But I got a free breakfast anyway, 'cause I showed up today, even if I didn't then. The breakfast was a pancake feed, and they had a coupla really neat machines for making the pancakes, then the guys would flip the done ones at the people in line. Nobody flipped any at me though, I guess that I looked like I wouldn't take too kindly to people throwing food at me. Today wasn't frantic at work, but pretty busy most of the day. I was at the console, my least favorite job. Tomorrow I'll be the runner, which is kinda fun sometimes, depending on how busy it is and who the radiologist is. I got off on time, and I had to wear my sunglasses home for the first time in a while. The sun is going down later, of course, and there weren't any clouds. Earlier in the week they'd said that there was going to be rain through Thursday, and they were wrong. Undoubtably they changed that forecast but neglected to tell me. Not that I really care anyway, it's gonna do what it's gonna do, it's just fun to talk about sometimes. Suddenly tard. Maybe I'll go to bed early tonight... make that fer sure I'll go to bed early, Karen is wathing some silly movie and I don't feel like surfing the web.
