Sittin' at the Laundromat Blues

Greetings True Believers!

Anyway, it's been a helluva week since I last checked in. As the title says, I am sitting here in the local laundromat doing my bi-weekly loads. It's the newest one in town, and not too busy, it gives me a chance to catch up on watching diggnation episodes, DVD's (watched the first part of The Benchwarmers before this, so far it's pretty damned funny), or watch people (and there are a variety of kinds of patrons). Anyway, as for the past week, there wasn't a dull moment. My mother flew in Wed. at noon, so I got to play taxi and show her around a little bit before heading out to my brother's to see her grandkids. The look on her face when we pulled in and my nephew was waving at us, I thought she was going through the window. Thursday I was supposed to work all day in the neighboring office, but recieved a call that there was an urgent job in my home office that needed attention, so I naturally came back. Well, this pissed off the boss at the neighboring office. I guess I broke "line and staff", so I had to kiss a little butt to soothe feelings. The whole deal is screwed up, maybe I'll dedicate a post to it in the future. Anyway, I spent most of my weekend at my brother's, playing with the kid and hanging out. One cool thing about the ranch he manages is that the Rio Grande runs through the middle of it, so I got to finally get some flies wet. I also got the opprotunity to talk to a service rep for Qwest, my DSL, and to make a long story short, some little troll was on my wireless network and plugging up bandwidth, shutting my connection down. I am hoping that my generosity of leaving my network was not purposely being abused, but I still locked'er down, problem solved. Anyway, this week has started out pretty uneventful, which is just fine with me. Well, later days!
