First day update

August 30th, 2004 · No Comments

Well– so far, so good. I’m currently sitting at a public computer that I had to wait in line for along with all the other underprivileged masses who don’t have laptops because Ginny still has not been restored to me. *le sigh* They ordered the parts for her and got them in, but they got […]

Small update

Ginny’s work is estimated to cost about $300, almost $200 of which are parts and Best Buy is willing to pay for. We should know how long it will take today. Still have not talked to Scott. I went over to Kate’s house yesterday to paint my new room! It’s a nice yellow– bright, but […]

Update on Ginny

August 24th, 2004 · No Comments

Well, it took all day yesterday, but Dad finally got to talk to someone at the repair facility– not Scott, the regional manager, but someone lower down. Ginny arrived on Friday morning, and was being put on a technician’s desk today, first priority. From a preliminary inspection, her hard disk and everything seem to be […]

BAX at WORX.

August 23rd, 2004 · No Comments

That was a nice vacation. Kinda tiring, but nice. It was fun to spend time with the fam, go to classes, learn a bit, and best of all, NOT WORK. Was tough to drag myself in today, but I did it. Oh, well. One more week of full time, then it’s school and part-time hours. […]

Still Alive.

August 18th, 2004 · 1 Comment

But barely. My family is doing Education Week down at BYU for our family vacation this year, so I only have enough time to check my e-mail at night– that is, if I want to see any of the Olympics at all. I’m borrowing my sister’s laptop (named Lord Peter, her desktop is called Wimsey) […]

A bit of a break

August 13th, 2004 · 1 Comment

We’ve worked hard all week, and everything we have left to do is dependent on other people coming through on their end, so things aren’t quite so rushed this morning. It looks like we’ll make our deadline, which is a lovely thing. This means that I am at leisure to tell you the sad, sad […]

Taking a quick break from work . . .

August 12th, 2004 · No Comments

To let you all know I’m still alive. Just working hard. Overtime makes me tired. There are compensations, however. A coworker has been bringing in good food to keep our energy levels up all week. Today, for instance, she brought in danishes for the morning, then crackers, French bread, hummus, cheddar, pepper jack, brie, and […]

BAX at work. Hooray.

August 9th, 2004 · No Comments

Well, my weekend was pretty good. I did a whole lot of nothing especially fun. Watched Monk on Friday night. And. . .that’s about it. Cleaned my room. It’s now only a half-disaster area. I’ve got lots of things to put away but no where to put them yet, so I’m going through my closets […]
