Think Of Car Angel This Holiday Season
Got an old car or truck sitting in your driveway attracting Kudzu?
This holiday season, why not give some thought to Car Angel? Car Angel makes it easy to donate your old car or truck, and their programs help children all over the world. The funds earned from your car donation provide funding for preschool and grade school aged children in some of the poorest areas of the world.
All you have to do is call. Car Angel will arrrange free nationwide pickup, and you also get a nice little tax donation just in time to round out this years tax season.
Off The Market
I was sitting here today, working on my latest project for work, when the phone rang. It’s always annoying when the phone rings and I am in the middle of code. I didn’t recognize the number, but I answered anyway.
It turns out, it was the realtor we used when we bought our first house, asking if I was interested in buying ro selling any real estate.
You know things are slow, when your agent from 10 years ago calls looking for business.

It seems I will be taking another business trip in the next couple weeks. I hate being away from my family when work calls, but heck, they only call me up twice a year or so.
I spent some time looking at new luggage and ended up buying a new bag that I can carry with me on the plane. I so hate checking any bags.

I am busting my hump extra hard this week, because this coming weekend we are heading for the hills of North Carolina, to partake in some holiday fun, some shopping, and most of all, some relaxation.
I love going to North Carolina. I love the mountains. I haven’t been to the coast yet, but I hear that the Outer Banks are nice, except during hurricane season, but I wouldn’t want to be in the mountains during a big storm either.
Now, back to work, so I can get done before Friday.
You Should See This
I used to make fun of people who bought things “seen on tv”, that is, until I bought this really kewl knife for the kitchen. Man. I love that thing.
I remember as a kid, watching all the Ginzu knife commercials and all of the other ads only available from those commercials, and wishing I could order them all.
It’s hard enough with all of the as seen on tv ads, that’s why I don’t watch any of the home shopping channels. Yikes.
Another Trip North In My Future
I will be traveling to the office again soon, and although I will be very close to New York, I probably won’t make it again.
Everytime I travel to the office I hope to make it up to New York City to visit friends, and each time I end up coming home without making it up there.
For the longest time, my wife has wanted to make a weekend trip to New York, so I think it’s time to start planning one. I will have to save up some money, and maybe even get some Wicked tickets or something, then we could spend the day shopping and eating, and the evening watching some good theatre and eating.
Yes, I love eating.

So I am sitting here troubleshooting some network issues with a customer in New Jersey.
After spending two hours walking him through the user manual to make sure all of the settings are correct (and making him write down the values for each, so this does not happen in the future), I find out he doesn’t even have the software running.
Yes, he failed to start the application, therefore it was not working correctly. I need to revise the first step in the manual to state, “START THE FRICKIN’ SOFTWARE BEFORE PROCEEDING”.
And people wonder why drug treatment centers exist.

I am waiting for the day that technology is developed that is hack-proof. I know, it’s a longshot, but I can hope can’t I?
Over the course of the past year, my bank account has been “compromised” twice when I paid my electric bill online. Two different processors, two different cards, same hacker? Who knows, I doubt it.
My bank has handled things real well, but I am considering opening one or two new checking accounts, one to pay house related bills, and the other to pay all the others. WaMu checking offers a great number of options, all of which sound really good at the moment, especially the free identity theft services.
Sphere: Related ContentThe Last Time…
The last time we drove cross country, about 6 years ago, the wife and I stopped near Williams to look at some Arizona real estate. Had conditions been different at the time, I could be blogging from my own 40 acre ranch just minutes from the Grand Canyon. Of course I would have needed miles of network wiring to get internet access, but what the heck.

Today is my last “working day” of vacation. We finished moving my mother across country and she will be settling into her new place in the next week or so.
We didn’t make it to Branson Missouri like I had mentioned before on one of my other blogs, but we did drive through Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Tennessee to get her here.
More later.
