I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I keep saying how I am behind in work, not keeping up, yadda yadda. - Over 50 emails in my box THAT I HAVE MARKED as needing action. I am not convinced that is all there is, not am I on top of things enough to be sure that some of those have not already been addressed.Br> - 23 open invoices on my desk that have not been entered for payment.
- 13 invoices on my desk that I have tried to enter, but will not reconcile and I have not been able to figure out and/or am awaiting information from others in order to proceed.
- 14 possible invoice I have not even opened yet, that go back at least 3 days.

How much I get through today will determine if I see friends and hang out with mac on Sunday or if I work.

The good news: An ACLU FOIA request just answered a question that's been on my desk for a few days.

The bad news: The !@#$* printer won't print the document so I can drop it on someone else's desk and be done with it.

eta: I am also distracted by the fact that I am trying to get tickets to the White House Easter Egg Roll.

Your printer won't print you FOIA request? I didn't even know that Halliburton made printers.

Instead, we're doing egg hunts at the gardens here.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

It's for stores that give money back to local schools so teachers don't have to buy their students' school supplies out of the teachers' own money.

On the same level: last year, it turned out that the university gave (or probably sold) our (the students) cell phone numbers to a polling institute. I raged about it.

I'm not having much luck getting through. You're likely to have better weather, but this is my niece's last year of eligibility.

Because books.

Egg hunts (on the East Coast anyway) should be a little more pleasant this year, since it's later. One year recently (last? I can't remember) we were in winter coats and freezing our butts off.

I gassed up my car today and I'm pretty sure the tank didn't get completely full. I don't know why the cutting off point while filling up seems to vary so much. I calculated 45mpg from that tank, which is too good to be true. The tank before yielded a crappy 28mpg.

My wife also fueled up her car yesterday. She reported that there were two teenage girls making out furiously in a VW Bug parked at a different pump. She said she was trying to will the pump to go faster so the kids didn't notice and start asking questions.

No girls making out where I got my gas.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think when you fuel a car, sometimes air gets trapped inside the tank, causing gas to back up through the gas tank fuel tube thingie which triggers the "tank is full" sensor in the pump.

Yeah, you really need to do a running average over multiple tanks to get an accurate MPG amount.
