Database updates pay my salary. But yeah, they are pretty boring.
Actually, since I'm a developer, I create the tools for others to do database updates. Database updates for the masses!
Which, still boring.
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I've gotten my email inbox down to the low 100s, with no unread items, so I'm calling it a good morning at work so far. And I'll be lunching with amyth and smonster, which is happy-making.

I have dealt with maybe 150 emails, but have many more hundreds to deal with! Sad.

I tried some lands End dresses but they were weird on me. I kept the cost though.
didn't realize you could have Hep C and not know it. I know someone with Hep C and it was a real problem (until the current treatment regime was developed), so I thought it always caused symptoms.
No, it's often asymptomatic, but can still be doing damage to your liver while you don't realize it.
